It is considered to be an action/adventure series with comedy-drama elements. It has been renewed for a seventh and eighth season to consist of ten episodes each.

In 2018, it was cancelled after 7 seasons.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Awesome and memorable theme song.
 * 2) Great animation, especially for a show that aired on Adult Swim, which normally had shows with low-budget animation at the time.
 * 3) It's one the rarest parody TV shows you see on TV.
 * 4) Great and awesome action scenes.
 * 5) It has clever comedy and pop culture references, even referencing some obscure heroes, like Green Hornet. And some Hanna Barbera Cartoons like Jonny Quest and Scoooby-Doo.
 * 6) Great voice acting, like with Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, and Stephen Ratazzi as Dr. Orpheus.
 * 7) Many likable and relatable characters, such as Rusty Venture, his sons Hank and Dean, the Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend/Dr. Mrs. the Monarch, Henchman 21 & 24, Dr. Orpheus, Brock Samson, among others.
 * 8) The 1 hour specials are always a huge blast.
 * 9) Lots of continuity and character development (Which is rare for most Adult Swim shows).
 * 10) Many emotional moments, like the death of 24 and 21 becoming emotionally devastated by it.
 * 11) The series will be given an straight to DVD movie coming TBA!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The opening is cut short in later seasons, with some exceptions.
 * 2) The show has been on extremely long hiatuses.
 * 3) While Season 1 is still good and there's some great episodes (such as "Eeney Meeney, Miney Nagic", "Ghosts of Sargasso" "Tag-Sale You're It!" and the finale of the season, "Return to Spider-Skull Island") it's mostly hit and miss with the pacing feeling a bit slow and not as good as Seasons 2-7.
 * 4) Rusty can be unlikable sometimes.
 * 5) The title of the show can confuse new audiences. Despite the title, intro, and posters promoting Hank and Dean as the main characters, the shows main character is actually Rusty, making the title slightly misleading.
 * 6) Despite having been renewed for an eighth season, the show was unexpectedly cancelled after season seven and ended the show on a cliffhanger. Luckily, However, a movie is in development and will act as the true finale to the show.
