Damn, I wish I could show you the cold opening for Ghosts of the Sungrasso<\/a>. Maybe I’ll film it on my camera so I can share it with you. It’s SO<\/strong> awesome. Read about the musical references here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Painstakingly transcribed, here are the first few minutes of the show:<\/p>\n

[Somewhere over the Bermuda Triangle, 1969]<\/p>\n

{Major Tom’s spaceship hurtles towards the earth}<\/p>\n

Major Tom: I can’t keep it together, Doctor Venture. I’m sorry about the TVC-15. <\/p>\n

{Jonas Venture stands on the deck of his ship}<\/p>\n

Jonas Venture: Tom, I’m not worried about that tin can. I’m worried about you! <\/p>\n

MT: I’ve got a message for the Action Man. <\/p>\n

{Venture looks across the deck towards the Action Man}<\/p>\n

JV: He’s listening, Tom. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

MT: I’m happy, hope you’re happy too. I’ve loved all I’ve needed love.<\/p>\n

{Action Man cries}<\/p>\n

JV: Don’t talk like that, Tom. You’re gonna make it. Fight it!<\/p>\n

{Tom lets go of the controls and visibly relaxes.}<\/p>\n

MT: I’m feeling very still. I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her very much. <\/p>\n

{Venture looking more and more upset}<\/p>\n

JV: She knows!<\/p>\n

JV: Ground control to Major Tom. Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong! Can you hear me, Major Tom? Major Tom!<\/p>\n

{Major Tom’s ship crashes into the ocean.}<\/p>\n

AM: Ashes… to ashes. <\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was inspired to dress up as The Action Man<\/a> for Halloween one year, but I thought it was just too random for even most of the hardcore fandom to get. <\/p>\n

Here’s what David Bowie<\/a> looks like on The Venture Bros<\/a>. <\/p>\n
