4 massive expansion not as neat as the early seasons

Warning: Spoilers
I appreciated the simplicity of seasons 1-3. I'd give nearly every episode a 9.

Episodes like this are hysterical keeping it micro focused on the Venture family with the monarch and surviving without Blind Rage Sampson (Sampson say no more...oh speedy and so close to getting his wings).

Brisby land, Underland the yard sale... the Dr Orpheus premiere pure gold.

OSI and the guild were very much an expansion pending renewal by Adult swim.

It gave interesting character insight in season 3 The Council, Phantom Limb & Quizboy going back to the double date of Hank and Dean "Oh the great Villain Phantom Limb wearing granny glasses and selling me insurance" Introduction of "The Master"... But the show split it focus by 4 between classic venture comedy this episode definitively being best of all of them and the Sphinx /OSI/Guild Nonsense.

The "Arching Business" at times spinning out of control.

And people unhappy with the movie.. what better reason to obsessively hate someone other that there can only be one "Rusty" Rusty with a splice of baboon for hair loss. Gave him some muscle tone.

It's comedy and entertaining but glaring issues arise in continuity, geography (e.g) if Team Venture was Split bt the compound & Spider Skull.. and it's safe to say that's Pacific & Mountain zones... how is blue Morpho hanging with Jonas in Colorado Springs out of Newark.

There are some moments that stick out such as Monstrosos operation, and The Revenge society...the two heads classic never gets old.
