An inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoons such as "Johnny Quest," The Venture Bros., follows the bizarre mis-adventures of Hank and Dean who believe themselves to be an unusually gifted team of "brains" and "braun" while actually possessing very little of either. The boys travel the world with their renowned scientist-father, Doctor Venture -- and treat even the most mundane situation as a bold new adventure. As a result, they often find themselves in danger with a host of oddball villains -- but rarely find their way out. The rely instead on their body-guard/undercover government agent Brock Sampson, voiced by Patrick Warburton of "The Tick" and "Seinfeld" fame, to save them.

Based on the FOX animated series The Tick created by Ben Edlund and first aired in 1994, this live-action superhero sitcom premiered on FOX in November of 2001. Patrick Warburton dons the blue suit to play lovable hyperbolic superhero The Tick and David Burke plays his winged weakling sidekick, Arthur. Nestor Carbonell is the charismatic Batmanuel (based on Die Fledermaus) while Liz Vassey is Captain Liberty (based on American Maid). The show was canceled after only one season of nine episodes, one of which remains unaired. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
