'Venture Bros.' season six: New city, no consequences

Audio Spoilercast of season 6 at the bottom Venture fans have been waiting for three years, give or take a special, for a new season of Venture Bros. This past January, we were given just that in a new 8-episode season. A new city, a new Guild and what seemed like endless possibilities for the characters we’ve already grown to love.
