Viewers on the West Coast were treated to the first half of the Venture Bros. Season 4 premiere twice last night, but were denied the last 15 minutes of the program, according to a comment thread on the Adult Swim message board.
The error was experienced by only the Western region regardless of cable provider and was corrected during the 4 AM encore show. [Most of Geeks of Doom’s editorial staffers are based on the East so we lost no sleep.]
So in other words, you weren’t drinking too much last night and did not actually experience a temporal shift in time.
For those of you who may have missed it, Adult Swim has uploaded the episode in its entirety to their Web site.
Just confirming that the original airing was indeed screwed up and cut short – the first 15 minutes were shown twice, and the second half not at all. lame!
also, for this whole week, they are running the first show again, just to make sure any venture brothers fan boys don’t start trying to burn down their offices.
Man, good to hear it wasn’t just in my head. I was totally baked while watching it and when it started over at the beginning half way through it totally messed with my head.
