The minds behind Adult Swim hit show The Venture Bros. — Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer — decided to meet their adoring fans differently for their Dragon*Con 2010 panel by setting up some comfy chairs, a coffee table and cheesy ’70’s music that played whenever the pair wasn’t speaking.

Call it convention fatigue or boredom, but Publick and Hammer thought it would be better to treat the scheduled time as an old school talkshow — Maury Povich style. They took turns running through the crowded ballroom allowing fans to ask questions and receive a rose if it was deemed worthy of answering.

We captured the whole thing on a shaky, amateurishly handled FlipCam and have subsequently uploaded the videos to YouTube, which you can watch below.

Some of the high points include Bill Hader replacing the voice of Stephen Cobert as Professor Richard Impossible, why a Venture Bros. feature-length film is probably a bad idea and lots of news regarding who will be back for the last part of the season.

Check out the embedded video after the jump.

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.

At some point during the 22 years Dragon*Con has been in existence, scheduling a panel discussion specifically about Dragons was a main concern for the convention event planner. Yet, lately, they’ve sort of been lacking on the whole “lets talk about dragons for the sake of talking about dragons” area. It seems odd at first to have no such panel about dragons, because the convention has dragon in its name. Then again, there are SO many more cool things to talk about in the present day. Right?

Wrong.

Obviously, you must not have attended Adult Swim’s Dragon panel about Dragons, [adult swim], culture [adult swim], and golf.

Dana Snyder, (voice of Aqua Teen‘s Master Shake, Granny Squid Ruby Jean, and Todd from Codemonkeys) addressed a legion of fanboys and fangirls in dragon-costumed attire — as were other members of the Adult Swim Network for the panel, which was moderated by producer Keith Crofford.

Laughs were had, threats were made, and handicap-lowering tips were shared.

Previews for the next 9-months of ALL-NEW programing were also shown (see videos from the panel here below).
