This Tuesday on The Best Show: in addition to @JamesUrbaniak we have VENTURE BROS creator JACKSON PUBLICK in the studio!

I'm a huge Venture Bros. fan and am really looking forward to this.

I like James Urbaniak - wonder what the connection/plug is?  I haven't ever seen him as part of the Alt Comedy scene.


Maybe he read that thread about the sequel to Henry Fool?

*nervous laughter* Adult Swim died for me when they quit showing Aqua Teen and Sealab.

So as I understand it, Tom knows everyone that has ever made me laugh.

When is the kid who used to throw his carton of milk up against the window in 3rd grade going to be on the show?

Last time I checked Aqua Teen was still on.

And I know they were still playing Sealab reruns as recent as about six months ago.

Aqua Teen hasn't been officially canceled, but then neither has Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.  They're still playing reruns of these shows, yes.

The point of my comment is that I don't watch any of the second generation stuff, much less the newest stuff.  No Venture Brothers.


Still glad James Urbaniak is on the show.  Maybe I'll call in and talk to him about his L&O:CI guest spot.

Mr. Urbaniak also did an excellent R. Crumb in American Splendor and his Twitter feed is consistently outstanding.

I hate to sound like I'm trying to pick a fight, but I think there's a new season of ATHF slated for later this year...

Yes! I thought of that recently too - he was quite a creep on that episode.

I really dig Jackson Publick too -- Dang it, mama has to take some people to dinner tomorrow -- so I'm not sure how much of the show I"m going to miss.

I hadn't heard that - good.  I guess?  I wasn't that jazzed by the 6 they made this season.

It's staggering think how Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer have control over nearly all aspects of the production process for the Venture Bros. And how amazing it all turns out in the end. It has to be the cartooning-equivalent of running one of those super-marathons.

Plus, Jackson linked to a Sound of Young America interview on his blog a while back, through which I eventually became aware of the Best Show. He never stops giving!

In regards to not liking anything past Sealab and Aqua Teen.  I loved both of those shows, but I don't think they hold up when compared to The Venture Bros.  The Venture Bros is well written and doesn't just rely on crazy antics to be funny.  It's character driven and gets funnier and funnier as you learn the characters.  That being said it also has some great crazy antics and some awesomely hilarious jokes and fight scenes.  Personally as a huge comics and cartoon nerd The Bros appeal to me especially for all the references to old cartoons and comics. 

And not to get too technical, but Aqua Teen and Sealab are kind of Second Generation compared to Space Ghost, Ghost Planet, and Brak show.  The stuff Adult Swim is making now is 4th or 5th generation at the very least.  It's been around a while now.

I will just dive in and say that anyone who loved Sealab and doesn't love Frisky Dingo (esp after watching at least 4 episodes... it's very plot-centric in a weird way) is ca-razy. CA-RAZY!

Also, looking forward to this week's show!

I'm usually not that into Adult Swim, with obvious exceptions, but Venture Brothers is great.  Genuinely funny.  It took me so long to break down and watch it because I assumed I'd hate it.  I'm glad to be proved wrong.
