Review:

Since 2001, Cartoon Network has had an Adult Swim lineup of animation and a few live-action series aimed for young adults and adults. One of the most popular series from Adult Swim is The Venture Bros., a spoof of Johnny Quest, which the sixth season is currently in product for either a Fall 2014 or Early 2015 premiere. Until then, fans can enjoy tomorrow's release of The Venture Bros.: The Fantastic Fifth Season, featuring all eight episodes and two specials. Special features include deleted scenes and commentaries from the series creator Jackson Publick and writer, director, and executive producer Doc Hammer.

The series focus on fraternal twins, Hank and Dean Venture, as they try to have a normal teenage life. They live with their father Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture at the Venture Industries, which was created by their late grandfather, Jonas Venture. Since their grandfather's death, the Venture Industries has slowly declined, though there is still a base on Skull Island and a space station called Gargantua-1.

Season five picks up shortly after the climax ending of season four, sending the Venture Bros. and crew to the steamy jungles of Central America, to the sands of the Greek Islands and to the jagged cliffs of By-Golly Glutch, as they try to out think their enemies.
