Blu-ray Review: Remarkably Clever ‘Adventure Time’ Makes HD Debut
Submitted by BrianTT on June 14, 2013 - 2:03pmCHICAGO – As a parent, I can tell you that a lot of what connects with young viewers and becomes a smash hit is pretty creatively stale.

The adventures of Finn & Jake, “two of the coolest heroes to hero-ize,” are that increasingly rare thing in children’s animation — totally original.

DVD Review: Adult Swim’s Hilarious ‘The Venture Bros. Season 4: Vol. 1’

It feels now like it’s plateaued a bit with many of the shows that were at the top of their game a few years back sliding down a bit in terms of quality. One such program is Adult Swim’s “The Venture Bros.,” a show that is still incredibly creative but doesn’t click like it used to do every week.
