Really? I'm the only one backing Frisky Dingo/X-Tacles as mandatory? That's just bizarre.
I also love Venture Bros. and record it every time it's on. I wish my son was just a few years older so I could watch it with him. He's 8 and I think some of the stuff is just too... Adult.
Here's a fun little bit of trivia about yours truly: When I was in high school I was a lousy student. Terrible. How bad? So bad that for 4 years of high school I went to 4 years of summer school. Yep, even after senior year. Made my mom soooo proud.
Anyhow, in the summer of 1984, between 9th and 10th grades, I was (rightfully) grounded for managing to fail 2 classes that I had no business failing at all. So I had no social life until I passed the two courses in summer school, around the middle of August.
The only social outlet my parents allowed me, (I'm not making this up. I swear to you.), was to be in a community theater production of 1776, the Revolutionary War-themed musical. It was staged in the auditorium/gymnasium behind The Church of the Precious Blood in the tiny town where I grew up, Monmouth Beach, NJ.
I only remember who two of the characters were played by, and I don't even really remember their names. I think I had about 3 lines in the whole thing. But, one of the actors, playing I don't remember whom, was James Ubaniak, the voice of Dr. Venture, as well as many other characters of the screens both silver and small.
Choke on that, internet weenies.
