The Venture Bros. out of nowhere just got cancelled after seven seasons

Good news is [adult swim] is trying to work things out and have the show keep going

To my understanding AT&T recently bought out Time Warner and some of the other companies associated with them (I think some of the gaming companies associated with Warner Bros didn't get bought out though from what I heard), and it was AT&T who decided they didn't want to fund anything that'd be considered "costly" by Adult Swim standards.

Still I am seeing a bunch of misdirected hate towards Adult Swim in general because Metalocalypse was also suddenly cancelled years ago long before the AT&T buyout despite Brendon Small wanting a proper conclusion (maybe AS would be willing to do that now but it's Small who is unwilling to negotiate after all these years? Who knows), and Rick and Morty almost saw a sudden cancellation a few years back despite being AS's biggest show right now. One best case scenario is it continues on HBO Max.

I have never watched a single episode of this show. I think someone may have once told me it had a funny gag relating to seat belts but that's it. I always put it in the same category as Aqua Teen Hunger Force due to the fact I also never watched it and it seem to be adult animation. Anyway while I am completely indifferent to see it go, I am glad you made this thread as I can see that this series probably did have some merit to warrant fans' dismay at its abrupt cancellation.
