In the season premiere, questions are answered and truths are revealed. Brock finds himself aboard one of the O.S.I.'s medical units, particularly their brainwashing unit, and with H.E.L.P.eR's head lodged in his chest.
The writers of this show know how to keep the storylines fresh and exciting and constantly reveal more nuances of each character, but perhaps just as importantly, they're not afraid to take a gamble.
As the show has gone on to find its voice in the craziest ways and maturing past its modest start, it almost feels like a gateway show for Adult Swim, acting as an example of what was possible.
The plots are too random and scattered for casual viewers, and fans of the show know that the plots are only devices for delivering character-based comedy, which can be hilarious given you can keep track of them all.
A show that is still incredibly creative but doesn't click like it used to do every week... It's not that The Venture Bros. isn't good any more. It's still damn funny, but it used to be absolutely brilliant.

Venture Bros.' brilliance lies partly in this ability to connect its Saturday morning cartoon zaniness back to things that are normal and tangible... Behind everything, Venture Bros. is about a family coming to grips with itself.
