Rick and Morty Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Rick and Morty is in essence one of the greatest series Adult Swim has ever created, it’s up there along with The Boondocks and Moral Orel and the like. This has got to be one of the greatest Sci-Fi comedies ever written since Futurama’s original airing. It’s intelligent, funny, and raunchy in all the right ways. Over the course of 11 episodes you see these character personalities come out very well, anyone can easily somewhat relate to at least one character and sympathize with many of them if not all of them. If I could describe the series: It’s Back to the Future meets Dr. Who meets Lost in Space meets Peabody’s Improbable History all thrown into a martini blender, and what comes out is a very unusually tasting but still pleasing to the pallet concoction.- JANET CHITWOOD
Rick and Morty is like all the best parts of Futurama, South Park, the Venture Bros, and Family Guy / American Dad all in one cartoon.More philosophically, I think Rick and Morty actually touches on some subtle but very important aspects of the human condition that are overlooked in lots of sci-fi and futurist imaginings. Particularly in the theoretical reality of many sentient and very different races, and the possibility of multi-dimensional interference in our base reality. Someone could probably write a paper on that, but I’m not gonna. Rick hasn’t either, that should tell you something.-BHB.
I caught this show “on demand” because I had been hearing random references to it and figured I would give it a shot. Wow. I watched all the available on-demand episodes and then added the show itself to my DVR. The completely irreverent and supremely dark humor is right up my alley. I wouldn’t call it “smart” humor as quite a bit of it really are fart jokes, but it is definitely not for the d!ck and fart joke crowd either.There wasn’t a single episode in the season that I thought was lacking, which is pretty awesome for a first season. There are jokes that carry over from episode to episode, so it is totally worth it to watch the show from start to finish in order. The viewer is definitely rewarded for being a loyal viewer.- C.J.
