Rick and Morty is so fucking old now, and it's reputation is so tarnished, people will get sick of it 25 episodes in. Are you fucking kidding me? Is this Dan Harmon's doing? They should have fucking 86ed him and just black balled the whole thing and let it die with some fucking dignity. What are they, fucking Family Guy? I think fucking Family Guy would manage 70 more episodes better than Rick and Morty.

Its a fucking Adult Swim show. Outside of outside syndicated series and the occasional Aqua Teen or Sealab, the shows last for about 3 seasons burn out or wear out their welcome because theyre aboslutely hipster shit for college kids who are in that weird transition phase where theyre still young, impressionable, and love dumb humor, but they think theyre adults even though they love being told what to do, buying the literal flavor of the week -- these shows live hard and die fast. Their audience is literally like 19-22 year olds (even if the market calls it 18-25, the people marketing know what's up).

It's been like 4 years since Rick and Morty started, and theyve spent half of that time in limbo thinking theyre bigger than they are. How much more blood can you squeeze from the stone? 70 fucking episodes is like 5 or 6 more "seasons". Their audience has grown up and moved on, and the outsiders already have a bias of the show. Maybe it's funny but it's no longer the cool thing and it's not cool to like it. You've already wasted it, youll never get your Pickle Rick moment back again. Holy fuck, what a joke, and not the good kind.

I got halfway through the first season before I decided I couldn't watch any more.
Plus the fanbase is shit, and I don't wanna be associated with them.

I am, however, proud to be a Kiwi.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
 
Wonder why they decide to go with 70 episodes which is really way too specific, instead of just announcing a Season 4 and be done. Either of them could calm down fans' worries about the future of Rick & Morty but the former has gone too far.

Still, hope Season 4 brings some improvements compared with Season 3.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Whatever helps you sleep at night. I'm just not looking forward to a show I could once say I loved getting worse than it's setting itself up to get. Getting rid of the diversity hires / forcing them to stop sucking might help, but that isn't gonna happen (fast enough if it does), since they're who brought in the ratings boost for this show.

Because 100 episodes is the ideal number of episodes for syndication. 100 is the magic number a show needs to have to sell to other networks. The minimum required number of episodes for syndication is 65. There are exceptions to the rule including just how popular the show is (like Chappelle's Show) or how cheap it might be to acquire.

Pretty much every original program Adult Swim has ever aired is garbage
