aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
They're promising new eps early in 2009, according to the bumper before the show, and planning to address what Jackson Publick described as the loose ends from this season.

Wow, that was the season finale? Shorter season this time, wasn't it? Writer's strike, perhaps?
Seriously disturbed episode, not that that's unusual lately. But even though it wasn't so big with the laughs this season, it was some kind of genius.

Also, given how much he professed to despise Gary Trudeau for Duke in Doonesbury, the mind boggles as to what Hunter S. Thompson would have thought of the character that's blatantly based on him in Venture Brothers.

I just finished the first series of SPACED, and I think I want to have babies with this show. It's more wry than LOL, but occasionally it just makes me lose it. And the dance at the end of the last episode made me really teary even as I laughed my ass off at Daisy asking is she could borrow Tim's porn.
It's also one of the few television shows that's made me laugh because of the style it's filmed in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh yeah, there are so many great visual jokes. And Star Wars references.

Which begs the question: Where will you find the most Star Wars references?
Spaced?
Venture Brothers?
Robot Chicken?
Family Guy?
Kevin Smith movies?

Heh. Or the WWII aviation films he stole all the dogfight bits. I can't remember the title but it was about the use of a bomb that skipped along the water so it could blow up a dam. That was the basis for the attack on the Death Star scenes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Tom ftw.
I was just reading an interview with the Spaced crew on AICN and they pointed out all the special guest stars in the commentary. I hadn't even realized, it's like a whole other show waiting for me in the special features! Here it is.
