Anybody Watching the Venture Brothers?
This has to be the funniest show on Cartoon Network. It has the same kind of humor that shows like Sealab and ATHF have only it is less random and more coherrent, and they actually a tell a story.
Right now it is on Monday - Wendsday at 11pm Central, on Cartoon Network.
A brief Synopsis from: http://www.tvtome.com/VentureBrothers/
"Welcome to The Venture Brothers guide at TV Tome.
Hank and Dean Venture, with their father Doctor Venture and faithful bodyguard Brock Samson, go on wild adventures facing megalomaniacs, zombies, and suspicious ninjas, all for the glory of adventure. Or something like that.
Hank and Dean Venture are relatively identical twins, only born six minutes apart, who live for the thrill of adventure. Their dated vocabulary and high-pitched voices are intentionally annoying, especially to their father, Doctor Venture, a boy genius turned mediocre scientist who hates everything about his life.
In the midst of this conflict is Brock Samson, a man of swift neck-breaking action. Preferring to resort to his brawn instead of his brain, Brock is simple but effective, and does a better job at taking care of the kids than Doctor Venture, as long as they leave his treasured Dodge Charger alone.
The Venture Brothers is a take off of Johnny Quest and the Hardy Boys. "

This is far and away my favorite show on Adult Swim right now. There are so many subtle homages and twists to classic cartoons and comics that it's virtually impossible to recognize them all.

I keep missing the beginning of the ep where Dr Venture is in the hospital, and when he comes home his symbiont brother thing has the robot suit. What exactly starts it off?
And I love Hank and Dean on the road: "I'll have the pancakes, and yes ma'am, I know what time it is."
