[edit] Moved

I moved the entire section from The Venture Bros.#Episodes and cleaned it up a bit.
This is only temporary though, until somebody can start a Wikitable for the episodes (like List of The Boondocks episodes).

Well, I've set up the table's "skeleton" below the current episode list. Once it gets complete enough, we can get rid of the old stuff. Aldebaran135 01:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Since the only that's left to do is add screenshots, perhaps it's time to get rid of the old descriptions. 69.169.74.209 02:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Individual episode articles

Anyone up for starting articles for each episode? Such a project exists for Drawn Together, and it looks good. Check out the episode articles linked from List of Drawn Together episodes. --Cholmes75 17:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I could be up for that. th1rt3en 00:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I'd help. Tobias087 04:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Obviously, I'm the guy adding in the individual episodes, and once that's done, I'd like to try at individual character pages for the show's most famous characters. It was way too long for episodes not to have guides to them yet, and with the second season there was absolutely no excuse. Sooo...here I am.

I do need help, though-I can make summaries and some quotes and trivia, the latter two I'm weak at without the DVD. So if I can get help on those, and maybe making an episode catagory/screenshots....I'd totally appreciate it. Umbric Man 2:13 28 June 2006

Great job so far on the episode pages. I'm helping out with clean-up and other things as the pages develop. -th1rt3en 05:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I noted-thanks, dude, really! It's a boon and it's good to know people are taking an intrest in the wiki again for the show...uh, BTW, can I catch you on AIM? You likely know some stuff I don't, that I need help with adding in... UmbricMan 2:26 29, June 2006

[edit] Title Changes

I have changed the titles of some episodes to reflect those listed at the official adult swim site (http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/index.html) and the creator's livejournal (http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com). IMDb lists minor differences in the titles but the creator should be the definitive source.

[edit] Time frame of "A Very Venture Christmas"

A Very Venture Christmas obviously takes place before Trial of the Monarch due to the presence of the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, but how do we know for sure that it takes place after Past Tense? Jeff Silvers 15:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

The presence of the original Team Venture, maybe? In any event, I doubt that it matters, since it was all just a dream. We're probably not supposed to consider the episode a part of the show's continuity, anyway. 69.169.74.209 06:56, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe Adult Swim confirmed it, but otherwise it's because of the presence of the characters: Steve Summers, Prof. Impossible and a pregnant Sally, Kano from the original Team Venture, the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend still together, as well as several other characters would place the episode in the time frame between eps. 11 and 12. -th1rt3en 04:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh. Well Adult Swim confirming it is enough for me. Jeff Silvers 20:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
This might be silly and way too late to mention, but the only characters actually present in the episode are Doc, Brock, the boys, and H.E.L.P.eR. Everyone else was only seen in Doc's dream. So, while we could conclude that it takes place during the first season and before "Return to Spider Skull Island," there's no reason it can't be after "Trial of the Monarch." Anything seen in the dream, such as Pete White hitting on Triana, Sally Impossible's pregnancy, the presence of Steve Summers and Sasquatch, and of course the very existence of the Krampus, should be discounted until confirmed in the real Venture universe. Although I hope the Krampus is "real." --Boradis 21:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuity numbers and production codes.

All right, as far as I know Adult Swim doesn't include the "season-hyphen" in their current format for VB production codes. [1] So I figure, it's not really necessary, so maybe we should take that off for the purpose of accuracy.

On the other hand, to help differentiate them, maybe we should use that format for the continuity numbers. That way, it will better correspond with the individual episode pages. For example, if you go to "Hate Floats"'s page, it says "Season 2, Episode 2". So on the chart here, it'll say "2-2" to stand for that. What does everyone think? Is that a better way to handle it? 68.234.189.189 07:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Production code is the order in which the episodes were produced while airing number is the order in which the episodes air. See VB at TV.com. -th1rt3en 13:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Nav-bar

I went ahead and made Template:VentureBrosEps to cut down on the size of the normal nav-bar. -th1rt3en 19:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Good idea! - DynSkeet * Talk 23:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Escape to the House of Mummies

The adult swim bump calls this episode "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II. Does anyone have an explanation for this? -th1rt3en 22:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

see the episode. There is no part I, they give a brief synopsis of it, and also promise a part III at the end. whole episode is a takeoff of serial adventure stories. --Emb021 19:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
yeah, i had asked this before the episode premiered :P, thanks though. -th1rt3en 19:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Storyline sections

I've been reading plot summaries of various other works I'm a fan of, and it seems to me we might be going overboard with the level of detail in our storylines. I myself am guilty of this, as the storyline summary for "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" in place as I write this is largely mine. I've been looking for a guideline page in the Wikipedia help and style guides section, but haven't found anything concrete yet. Thoughts? Pointers? --Boradis 07:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's largely a matter of taste, although some people fiercely believe in one approach or the other. You're right, some of the episode articles have gotten really long... they probably could stand a little trimming here and there. Not sure that there's any official Wikipedia guidance. - DynSkeet * Talk 10:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. In that case, my preference would be for more succinct summaries that highlight major plot points, without giving away all the jokes. If we continue to go the other way, we might as well be posting an episode transcript, which I don't think is the purpose of Wikipedia. Anyway, when I write a summary I'll do it the way I prefer (more of an outline) and let the chips fall as they may. With of course the understanding that it could get overwritten shortly thereafter. --Boradis 21:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree, I recently realized exactly how long many of the articles were getting (a problem I've contributed to extensively). I trimmed "Careers in Science" back a bit and may do the same to others. - DynSkeet * Talk 12:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IGN Holiday Tunes - are they notable?

Excellent article - but then, I like the show. I was wondering if the two holiday tunes from IGN articles on December 16, 2004 (just before the airing of Very Venture Xmas) IGNFF Holiday Havoc Day 12: The Venture Bros. and one a year later on December 19, 2005 IGNFF Holiday Havoc Day 13: Venture Bros. are notable for inclusion in this article? I don't know if they are considered canon or not. But they are rather funny.--EarthPerson 18:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Can anyone who has the episodes TiVo'd (or however) get new images for Love-Bheits and Hate Floats? These two are really stretched. And possibly non-stretched images for House of Mummies and Victor. Echo. November.? -th1rt3en 21:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Text of Short Summaries

Are these directly from Adult Swim? Are they akin to Press Releases? If so, I'd think that was fair use. I only ask because many of them have had recent edits. --EarthPerson 15:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extra Episode

At some point, I think early spring 2006, Adult Swim announced that new episodes of Venture Brothers were coming. A couple of weeks later, they showed what I can only describe as a preview for season two. It was a full episode with different animation and an overall different feel that either disregarded the entire first season or was supposed to be a recap of it. Anyone else remember this happening? I haven't seen it since and seem to remember that I was worried that they had destroyed the series.Djibouti 07:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] april 1st "rough episode"

i watched it the first time through planned on recording second time around but didnt rerun. anyone think this should be put into the episode list for season 3? it wasnt technically the start of the third season. just bringing it to everyones attention in case they didnt see it. it said in a bump prior to the start what ep # it was cant remember. it was a suprise to be sure (tv guide schedule didnt even have it listed) but that is adult swims genius on april fools day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.141.195.157 (talk) 08:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Promo Music

Anyone know the title of the song that plays during the adverts on Adult Swim, they sound Latin
