Poll Is it safe to say Rick and Morty is the best new TV show? (7 votes)

Yes 86%
No 14%

I just finished watching the series as it is right now and Jesus H Christ, when is season 2 coming out? The show is absolutely awesome and incredibly creative with its premises. I can't really think of a TV show that is as creative or cleverly written as Rick and Morty (not a recent one at least). It's almost like the Seinfeld of Sci Fi TV. They can do whatever they want with it without ever making it seem like it's too ridiculous (although it gets pretty ridiculous it never feels out of place.

So the question is simple. Is Rick and Morty the best new (as in released last year) TV show? Also, bonus questions. What are your favorite episodes, characters,etc.?

Oh and Rixty Minutes was my favorite episode by far. The fact that those TV skits were improv made it even more golden. The laughing at the end of "two brothers" was just amazing. "I'm ants in my eyes! Johnson"

Lawnmower Dog, Rock Potion 9, Close rick-counters of the Ricked Kind, and Ricksy Business were favs of my as well.

I met Dan Harmon the other day. It was magical. He was so wasted.

I feel torn because the show is absolutely amazing, but so are The Returned and Top of the Lake (granted that is more a mini-series).

Rick and Morty is definitely the best comedy to come along in some time. It means a lot when I say I already hold this show up next to Archer when taking about my fav comedy shows of all-time.

Rixty Minutes is easily the best episode as well. The whole meta-ness of the episode combined with the flat-out hilarity it provides makes it one of the best episodes of ANY comedy show. I consider it to be legendary status along with episodes such as Archer's "Placebo Effect" (AKA RAMPAAAGGGEEE!!!).

Other top episodes are M-Night Shaym-Aliens!, Something Ricked This Way Comes, and Rick Potion (which has the most amazingly dark ending EVER!).

Absolutely cannot WAIT for season 2 as well. If it is anywhere near as good as season 1 this show in general will deserve legendary status.

No, it's pretty dumb. 2 episodes in a row with a joke made about Morty fantasizing about his classmate's tits...in a cartoon. Ugh
