So, I finally got my hands on that “Venture Bros.” complete series DVD set I’ve been eyeing. Twenty years in the making, man, twenty years! It felt like forever waiting for this thing. Let me tell you, going through it all was a trip down memory lane.
First off, I spent a whole afternoon just getting the package open. Seriously, they wrapped this thing tighter than a drum. Once I finally wrestled it free, I took a good look at the box. Nice design, not too flashy, just right. The real excitement, though, was cracking it open and seeing all those discs neatly organized inside.
I decided to start from the very beginning, popped in the disc with the pilot episode. It had been ages since I saw that one. Watching it again, I noticed so many little details and jokes I missed the first time around. It was like rediscovering the show all over again. After the pilot, I just let it play through the first season. I forgot how much I loved those early episodes.
Next, I dove into the special features. They really packed this set with extras. There were commentaries, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes stuff, you name it. I spent hours just geeking out over all that bonus content. It was cool to hear the creators talk about the show’s evolution and all the work that went into it. The outtakes had me cracking up, and the deleted scenes gave me a new perspective on certain episodes.
Then, I marathoned through the rest of the seasons. Let me tell you, it was a wild ride. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I yelled at the screen. The series has its ups and downs, for sure, but overall, it’s just so damn good.
- Pilot episode – A blast from the past!
- Season 1 – Pure nostalgia.
- Special Features – A treasure trove for fans.
- Seasons 2-7 – A roller coaster of emotions.
- “Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart” – A perfect finale.
Getting to the end was bittersweet. I was so happy to have the whole series in one place, but also sad that it was all over. But then, I remembered the movie, “Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart.” So I watched it. And you know what? It was the perfect way to wrap up the entire series. It gave me a sense of closure and left me feeling satisfied, like all the loose ends were tied up nicely.
Sure, the box set was a bit pricey, and yeah, it’s only on DVD, not Blu-ray. But honestly, I didn’t mind. The quality was still pretty good, and having the whole series in one collection is just awesome. Plus, it’s probably cheaper than hunting down all the old individual DVD or Blu-ray sets.
Final Thoughts
This “Venture Bros.” DVD set is a must-have for any die-hard fan. It’s a great way to relive the entire series and dive deep into the world of the Venture family. Even though the show got canceled a while back, it’s great to see it’s still finding new life on other platforms like Netflix. This box set is a testament to the show’s lasting impact, and I’m so glad I finally got my hands on it.
