Ro-Boy on the Venture Brothers 11-22-09

This episode featured a support group of boy adventurers, including "Ro-Boy" a very obvious parody of Astroboy.



In the end, Ro-Boy asked Jonny Quest's ex-nemesis Dr. Zin to adopt him.

Oh ho! So you do watch! Astro Base go!

Yes I certainly do! I love the Venture Brothers, as it is a great parody of Jonny Quest (No, I do not know why there is no 'h' in that name). I think it is the last of the direct parodies that Adult Swim has made of those HB cartoons from the 1960s. I was so sad when they killed Harvey Birdman, as that too, was a great parody. Now, only Robot Chicken remains, but it parodies just about everything.

LOL. I almost mentioned this too. I don't normally watch Venture Bros., just watched when I saw the preview with RoBoy. Unfortunately he didn't have a huge part. =oP

Grah! What a time to not have cable...of all the muthersmotherin'... I love the Venture Bros, almost as much as Superjail so I cry. Even tho' they'd make it totally creepy and wrong like they did with ScoobyDoo and the FantasticFour.
