Rick and Morty | Season 9 Official Trailer | adult swim

I think almost every season has more solid-good episodes than not, but 4 & 5 just really stink with multiple pretty questionable storylines, but 7 & 8 were kind of a good return to form. Still not great, but not a bad show to throw on that's kinda fun.

1-3 for me is all bangers. 4-6 was a mix of serviceable, solid, and a few bangers sprinkled in. Theres maybe 2-3 episodes in that entire run that I would skip but even still respect them. 7-8 though? Theres multiple episodes per season that I feel are complete trash. But also still solid episodes mixed in and the bangers are still just as good as the rest of the bangers imo, so theres still a lot left for me to want to watch.

Feels like that has been the case for the entire show. Though a few of the early ones I’m not as big on as some and I like the dragon and thanksgiving episodes while a lot of people don’t.

I'd say seasons 4-5 were a low point. That was the aftermath of Roiland being banished to his home studio. There was some chaos. It got better since then. I really liked 7-9 in particular.

Season 3 was great. Season 4 was heavily mixed. Season 5 completely lost the spirt of the show and was mostly awful, culminating in the infamous incest baby episode, but there’s flashes of classic Rick and Morty. Seasons after that turned into a terrible sitcom completely divorced from anything that ever made the show good. The jokes are insanely lazy and formulaic with random sci-fi action sprinkled in.

I'm definitely waiting for the whole season to come out and binge it in one booze-filled weekend. BRAAAP!

Yeah but apparently he had been checked out for multiple seasons and was just doing the voices by the time he was canned

For good reason

What are you talking about? Season 5 and 6 were great

I find myself rewatching the later seasons more often than the first couple. Mainly because I like how the characters are developed and their dynamics have changed by then. Seems I’m in the minority on that though.

This is my comfort/background show, I’ve casually watched through it probably 4-5 times. The only episode I consistently skip is the Numbericons episode.

Heh, even Season three was entertaining.

I thought season 7 was better than 8, excluding the first episode, but the voices were a bit better in season 8

I remember we had a Rick and Morty social at my uni back in 2015 when it felt like it hadn't quite hit the mainstream yet It really felt like this cool underground show which seems silly in hindsight haha

The Schezwan sauce was 8 years ago at this point. Time isn't funny.

I saw Deadmau5 perform under his alias Testpilot during the peak of the sauce hype, and he had bought a jug of the Szechuan Sauce for $15,000 and brought it to the venue and bought McNuggets for everyone in attendance so everyone could have some of the sauce.

I was working at McDonald's while I was in college when that all happened. I was clocking off *right* as that episode had dropped & we started randomly getting phone calls about it. I remember making myself a burger right after clocking out for the night & the other shift leader answering the phone & asking me if I knew anything about a "Szechuan" sauce. I shook my head & thought nothing of it and left work. Got home, took a shower, played some video games, then when my roommate got home, we watched that episode. As soon as it got to that part of the episode, my heart dropped lmfao. I legit shot out of my seat & yelled "Oh my god No!" my roommate had no idea why I was freaking out about it hahaha. I shot a message to my coworker & asked if he'd been getting any more phone calls. He responded like "It won't f****** stop ringing. I don't know what's going on!" I got to break the news to him about it lol. The next few weeks at work were fun. The worst was when McDonald's announced that a *very* limited run of like only 20 sauces would be released to certain stores. Our store was like one of maybe 5 in my state to be "confirmed" to be getting some. We had to disconnect our phone that morning because people were calling us from *hours* away. Like 10+ hours. My shift was over that day at 10am, so before lunch started & I remember the line of people outside stretched around our building. The worst part: we never even got the sauces. Not until the big roll out a few months later.

> 11 years old this year 13. It premiered in 2013.

... oh my god.

I was 11 when I first watched it. Wild.

At least eleven, surely.

That copypasta about needing to be smart to enjoy Rick and Morty applies to Futurama so much better.

It's because seasons 1-3 follow the exact same format. Without getting into spoilers, each of those seasons has eight "stand-alone" episodes that you can pretty much watch on their own out of any order. One episode is an anthology episode, and one episode is a plot-arc episode, but it won't be immediately apparent at first. After season 3 things start to untangle a bit and you start seeing more plot-arc episodes (continuity) episodes, "meta" episodes, and recurring secondary characters.

It’s so much better than futurama 

> 3 and 4 are still great overall Nobody can agree. People routinely shit on 4 and 5 in particular.

It has been consistent. Every season has had some bangers and some duds. That's consistency. And the great eps, while being rare, have been really good imo I think season 8 was the best in a while overall and a return to form imo. Even tho 4-7 still had its moments.

You're correct. As many other commenters have mentioned Season 1 through 3 was one banger after another. Must see TV. It took a plunge after Season 3.

Season 7 had the spaghetti and fear hole episodes though

Do Adult Swim shows ever go to syndication? I feel like all their original shows never end up leaving the channel.
