It is also one of the few shows that adult swim makes that is not just a short fifteen minute show, but a full fledged half hour one so it usually has time to set up a hilarious plot each and every time. This one is sort of a Johnny Quest and other cartoon's of that era parody, but it isn't just a parody cartoon. The Agents of Repair must scale the precarious Venville Rise, but they can't afford to be deterred by an army, faction of zealots, or a white dragon.This is a favorite of mine on adult swim, but then there are only a few shows they make I don't care for.
