The Venture Bros. is an American animated television series that was created by Christopher McCulloch (also known as "Jackson Publick") and premiered on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim with a pilot episode on February 16, 2003 and its first season began on August 7, 2004. It is considered to be an action/adventure series with comedy-drama elements. The show has been renewed for a seventh and eighth season to consist of ten episodes each.

The Venture Bros. chronicles the lives and adventures of the Venture family: well-meaning but incompetent teenagers Hank and Dean Venture; their emotionally insecure, unethical and under-achieving super-scientist father Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture; the family's bodyguard, secret agent Brock Samson, or his temporary replacement, the reformed villain and pedophile Sergeant Hatred; and the family's self-proclaimed arch-nemesis, The Monarch, a butterfly-themed mega villain.
