New Season Start?
http://www.wsj.com/articles/adult-swim-how-to-run-a-creative-hothouse-1426199501?mod=trending_now_3 Its widely praised first run last year, airing at 10:30 p.m., will be followed by a new season this summer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.85.167.18 (talk) 14:59, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Improvisation
From what I understand as a fan of this show, a lot of the non-story dialogue and jokes are improvised. This can be seen in the episode Rixty Minutes, where the commercials and advertisements were completely improvised in the recording booth. I recall reading this same article a while back and the article went into this in the writing or development section, it even mentioned a specific show-creation technique involving this sort of improv by name. What happened to that? There's no mention of this in the article anymore. Is that not a valuable piece of information about the creation and development of this show? 24.119.53.187 (talk) 21:34, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Recent leak
So, apparently two episodes of the upcoming season have been leaked online; as per this article. Once there is more info and credible sources to be used, they'll be added, as was the case with Game of Thrones this year. ProKro (talk) 16:46, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

YouTube source
First of all, don't get me wrong I really like idea of using reliable YouTube videos as sources, but the last time I checked it was against WP:SOURCE, I wouldn't remove it myself as I genuinely support it, but I simply wouldn't be so frivolous to add these to an article.

Citation Relevancy April 3, 2017
After reading this article, it appears as if all the facts have proper citations that work when you click them. The article is neutral, there isn't any cheerleading or dispute about the show. The sources come from a wide variety of news sources, and they are up to date, there aren't any old or irrlevant ones. There are not viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented. This article is fairly boring to write about for this reason. As much as I love "Rick and Morty" there isn't a lot to critique on its citations or variability. This is good though, however, because it means that this is a strong Wikipedia article, and that I can use this as a good example of how to properly cite information. I don't think that any changes need to be made as of right now. I was really impressed that they even had updates from season 3 up already, as it premiered only on Saturday, April 1, 2017, which was two days ago.

Redundant wording
"The series is inspired by British-style storytelling, as opposed to traditional American "family TV" stories."

"Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series, such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who."

These are redundant, shouldn't one or the other lines be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morty C-137 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Citation needed?
'''The following statement is not found in the citation provided. Can anyone provide a citation for this? Otherwise it should be removed.'''

''The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future created by Roiland for film festival Channel 101. Adult Swim approached Harmon for television show ideas, and he and Roiland developed the program based on the short, replacing the characters of Doc with Rick and Marty with Morty''

Misleading Rotten Tomatoes scores
The 100% score from Rotten Tomatoes is misleading and fails to provide adequate context.

Normally articles mention the number of reviews used to create Rotten Tomatoes scores, to give some context. In the case of Rick and Morty Season 1 there were only 5 critics. Rotten Tomatoes requires more reviews than this before they make any claim of critical consensus, and it is misleading to emphasize the high score without any mention of the unusually low number of critics to create the score. Season 2 and Season 3 also do not have enough reviews for Rotten Tomatoes to claim any consensus. This is a low bar and Rick and Morty hasn't passed it, and it means that Rotten Tomatoes fails to provide a good overview in this case.

The way the scores are currently presented is lacking adequate context, it gives undue weight, and implies wider critical acclaim that the sources really show. (It is clear R&M is very popular, but not that it is widely popular yet.) I would suggest putting Metacritic first, since that is where the specific text "universal acclaim" actually comes from, and I would put the Rotten Tomatoes score in a separate sentence, with the score and some context such as at least the number of reviews it is based on, or some mention that this number is considered "no consensus" by RT, but the repetition of the text universal acclaim beside the Rotten Tomatoes score and the Metacritic score is misleading. -- 109.78.254.37 (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 November 2017
Hi, I'm not a regular editor so I may need some help with the formality of this request. In the philosophy section, I don't see how the second sentence before the comma, "The show most frequently adopts an existentialist perspective," is supported by its source. The source article headline does use "Existential" in a descriptive way, but the article body uses a form of that word only once, and to highlight how the show "counters" it. There is also a Sartre parallel at the end of the article that's been on and off the wiki page that similarly uses existentialism as a foil to the philosophy of Rik and Morty. Can we cut this part of the sentence or add a "citation needed" tag? Thanks 174.216.24.55 (talk) 01:32, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Philosophy section
In this edit, added in good faith a section analyzing philosophical themes. While I can certainly appreciate the work that went into the creation of the section, I don't understand why we're focusing on what random viewers have to say about the series. Any such critique or analysis should be coming from reliable published sources, professional critics, and the like. Sources like this and this seem frivolous to me. Everybody on the intertubes has an opinion, but that doesn't mean that Wikipedia is the right venue for their thoughts. I think the section should be seriously recalibrated, or cut. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:36, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello there. I want to say that 8-bit Philosophy alone is a very respected YouTube channel, just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean it isn't reliable. At the risk of straying from the matter at hand, I want to say I'm getting a little frustrated by this type of challenges from experienced Wikipedians to new editors. I'm very new at Wikipedia (less than 300 edits), and I've already had content I contributed removed a couple of times already. But other times the content doesn't even have sources and it stays on the page. For instance just yesterday I made a +2,500 edit to the page "Receptive field" without adding a single reference and it stayed there. In this case, the philosophy in Rick and Morty, you can see that this is not at all original research. You may question my choice of sources, but let's be reasonable for a minute; this is philosophy, it's often quite ambiguous, I mean just look at the page about consciousness and all the different theories, it's mostly one argument after another, and it's purely discourse, not that many references. This isn't science, not that it shouldn't be well sourced (which I think my contribution is), but I think if this page was for instance about the Earth's atmosphere then yeah anything anybody says has to be double-checked, but again this is philosophy. Also, Rick and Morty isn't gonna be featured in plato.stanford.edu any time soon, these sources are the best there is, and they're good (especially two of the videos I linked).
 * I guess I want to sum it all up by saying this:, if you're the only one who thinks this section should be done away with, please don't delete it just yet. themidget17 &#124; babble 01:41, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Another thing, if you've watched the show, I'm pretty sure you've palpated the existentialism in there yourself. I mean it's pretty conspicuous. Wubba lubba dub dub, bye  themidget17 &#124; babble 01:47, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with, I came here just to say I thought the section should be cut. The problem is that there clearly isn't enough content to warrant an entire section in this case. Consequently the section reads like an uninspired high school student trying to pad out an essay to the required length. The line about the "reminders of the insignificance of the Earth" just seems like trying to find any detail in the show that could possibly be called "philosophical" to bulk out the section. What I would recommend is cutting the "Philosophy" section and replacing it with a more general "Themes" or "Style" section, like what you get on many other Wikipedia articles for TV shows. There should be enough material for a couple of paragraphs, in which the philosophical aspects can be mentioned in passing. Gaiacarra (talk) 00:13, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * There clearly is enough content to warrant a special section, which is probably why it has stayed there since it was added. You find more and more articles online talking about this aspect of the show each day. Also, a reviewer writing about the GA nomination said that editors should simply add more references to the section as these articles start appearing, but did not recommend deleting it. Please don't take my word for it, see the GA review fr yourself! I'll add, on a personal note, that criticizing the section's writing style while having yourself no more than 300 edits (less than 100 to mainspace!) has a certain self-righteous air to it, least from my standing point. themidget17 &#124; babble 05:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This conversation is likely to devolve quickly if we're going to start slinging barbs at each other. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right . Apologies to for being less than civil. I guess we'll simply have to see what the community decides about. It won't do anybody or the wiki any good to discuss this between the two of us just for the hell of it.  themidget17 &#124; babble 18:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The comments about the writing style were relevant because they're symptomatic of what I think is the problem with the section, which is that it doesn't have enough content. The section reads awkwardly *because* I think it's trying to stretch two sentences of information to section-length. I definitely think folding the information here into a general "Themes" section (which is standard enough practice on Wiki articles about TV shows) is the best way forward here. Gaiacarra (talk) 11:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Rick isn't portrayed as being all that good of an influence on Morty so perhaps the show is anti-existentialist. In episode 1 Rick says God doesn't exist and to be consistent with atheism he would also have to think that life is an accident (or else to be an atheist you would have to think that the world always existed; which the Big Bang theory disproves) so Morty's Sartre quote could have come about from hanging around with Rick too much. 86.45.226.161 (talk) 23:13, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

"In episode 1 Rick says God doesn't exist and to be consistent with atheism he would also have to think that life is an accident (or else to be an atheist you would have to think that the world always existed; which the Big Bang theory disproves)" This is not true; to be consistent with atheism you just have to not believe in God: A-theism. 155.192.180.10 (talk) 10:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

The section has been rewritten and renamed to "Themes and analysis". What's next?
In the last months i have made some changes to the section, but there is still room for improvements. I think we need to first say a few words about the main characters, before the paragraph with Harmon's analysis; the philosophies mentioned in the last sentence should be reworked into the main flow; and we also need to quote some critical reviews. -- Radiphus  17:10, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Cancellation?
According to this and some other websites, 'Rick and Morty' has not been renewed for a fourth season. Some even say "cancellation". Dan Harmon himself has also confirmed that the show hasn't been renewed. I'm not going to do any editing, because I think it should be discussed first. Dpm12 (talk) 02:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It is known that the show has not been renewed for a fourth season, but it has not been officially canceled yet. Creator Dan Harmon and writer Ryan Ridley have said that the show will probably return for a fourth season (see Rick and Morty). All we can do is wait until October 1, 2018 (one year after the conclusion of the show's third season) and if no news arrive, regarding the future of the show, we will simply update the Infobox television parameter "last aired" in accordance with the template's documentation, which states In some cases the fate of a program might be uncertain, for example if there are no announcements that a show has been renewed. If such a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months, "present" can be changed to the date the last episode aired, using . This does not imply the series has been cancelled, rather that the program "last aired" on that date. -- Radiphus  15:52, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Bushworld Adventures
For April Fools 2018, Australian animator Michael Cusack known for his animated series, Damo and Darren was asked by Adult Swim to create a ten minute Ricky and Morty episode in the style of his animation and comedy, titled Bushworld Adventures. The episode has Rick and Morty searching for a cube in the Australian outback, coming across Australian versions of the Rick and Morty cast. The cast are stylized as Australian stereotypes referred to by most Australians as bogans. The episode was streamed live on the Adult Swim website and is currently available for public viewing.

70 Episode Order
AS of 10th of May Justin Roiland announced a 70 episode order. The exact episode unit per season size is yet to be confirmed. Previously every main season of Rick and Morty has been 10 episodes.

 * Regarding Netflix claiming that the 70 eps equate to 7 seasons, the only source there is their twitter, no one else has said this, so we should not consider this tweet a confirmation of # of seasons. --M asem (t) 18:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree. I believe it was a joke. -- Radiphus  19:27, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Basing the content on your personal opinions is textbook WP:OR. There is a verified source that states seven seasons; basing the article content on what you think is a joke, with nothing to back it up, is not how Wikipedia works. It is irrelevant if Netflix are the original broadcasters or not, the source is verified. --  Alex TW 04:59, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not how it works, and why we try to avoid social media sources. There are two authorative soruces here: Adult Swim and Justin Roland/Dan Harmon. Roland/Harmon's not said anything, and Adult Swim has not told anyone else how many seasons, but only use the language "years to come". . Netflix may have post-broadcast streaming rights, but they are not authoritative here and the fact no other RS has picked up on Netflix's 7 years likely means they know it's a wild stab given past seasons have been 10 eps. --M asem (t) 05:38, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This is not original research. Per WP:CONTEXTMATTERS, the reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content. -- Radiphus  06:37, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

The Fandom
This show has a massive fanbase and gained a lot of attention last year and I think that there should be a section dedicated to that.


 * I don't know if there needs to be something about the fanbase in general or not, but there should definitely be something about the McDonald's szechuan sauce thing. That got a pretty significant amount of media coverage and I'm kind of shocked that there's nothing about it here whatsoever. Alphius (talk) 08:24, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In the main article of a series, it is expected to include content that relates to the series as a whole. As an isolated incident, the szechuan sauce fiasco should be mentioned in the episode article or the season article (i have written about it there). It could also be mentioned in the parent article, but only among other examples that highlight a common behavior. At this point, there is not much to say about the subject, and i believe that it would be best for now to not mention something like that here, in order to avoid generalizations. Radiphus (talk) 08:53, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm...I still think it should probably be at least mentioned in the main article (even the "to-do list" in the talk page header above says that information about how the show has impacted society should be added), but I didn't realize there was already a longer write-up on the season page. And that write-up looks pretty good to me. (I'll undo my own edits here for now.) Alphius (talk) 09:01, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

House of Cosbys
I feel it should be mentioned in the article that Roiland created The Real Adventures of Doc and Mharti in response to a cease and desist letter from Bill Cosby’s lawyers after his Channel 101 show House of Cosbys. Bob3458 (talk) 09:57, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Bob3458 Couple of things... first do you have any research/evidence that can be used as references to what you have stated about Bill Cosby and Justin Roiland? If not then no it can't be included, anything you post on Wikipedia has to have concrete references to collaborate anything that you post.

Coincides with the interpretation how exactly?
In the video games subsection one item starts:
 * Pocket Mortys is a Pokémon parody game set in the "Rick and Morty Rickstaverse",[99] released on iOS and Android as a free-to-play game from Adult Swim Games, released early on January 13, 2016.[100] Coinciding with the many-worlds interpretation, the game follows versions of Rick and Morty that belong to an alternate timeline, rather than the duo followed in the show.

Given the linked to Many Worlds Interpretation was put down at some time before 1957, I don't see how a 2016 work can coincide with it, unless that's an American usage of the term I'm not au fait with. Assuming the link is valid, and the Many Worlds Interpretation doesn't have a more unique definition in this context, I'd suggest that a better present participle might be 'Using', but I'm not a fan of the series, so I'm not quite sure.

I see that wiktionary on it's definition of 'coincide' has the example if ideas coinciding meaning they are similar, but I'd argue that an animated series usage of the concept is significantly less complete than a physicists use so I'd argue they aren't really coincident in that way either, but as I say I'm not a fan, and have never actually seen a whole episode (I think it's only just started being broadcast where I am). 78.144.38.114 (talk) 21:31, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit on Rick and Morty article
For your information I undid your edits removing Harmonious Claptrap and Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions! Harmonious Claptrap is Dan Harmon's production company and Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions! is Justin Roiland's production company (along with Green Portal Productions which Roiland also owns). Harmon and Roiland are the co-creators and co-executive producers of Rick and Morty and these companies are directly run by them, they are NOT (repeat NOT sub-contractors). In the future please check your information before you make any more erroneous edits. Thank you. YborCityJohn (talk) 05:59, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, YborCityJohn. Harmon and Royland created these companies to provide their services. Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions! and Harmonious Claptrap is sub-contractors hired to perform production work, e.g. directing and writing. The show is owned by WarnerMedia (Adult Swim, Williams Street), so it is the general contractor . According to Template: Infobox television, "sub-contractors hired to perform production work, e.g. animation houses, special effects studios, post-production facilities etc. should not be included here, as this may create confusion about the nation(s) of origin. Instead, use sourced prose in the article's Production section to explain these details." I don’t know anything about Green Portal Productions, so I did not remove it.

 * Uh I'm not going to argue with you about this but Harmonious Claptrap, Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions! and Green Portal Productions they are the co-producers and co-owners of Rick and Morty and not subcontractors. YborCityJohn (talk) 17:52, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * YborCityJohn, they are not co-owners. See closing credits: "©2019 The Cartoon Network, Inc. A WarnerMedia Company. All Rights Reserved." Aoito (talk) 00:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The Cartoon Network, Inc. is the copyright owner but under their contract with TCNI both Harmon and Roiland in addition to receiving their salaries for producing the show they also own a piece of the show in which they receive money from residues, advertising revenue and DVD and digital distribution, so yeah they are co-owners. I've been working in public relations and other executive positions in the entertainment industry for 30 years and I am personally knowledgeable on how these kind of things are structured. The same situation stands for Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David who both own a large chunk of Seinfeld and as a result make hundreds of millions of dollars in syndication and distribution agreements.

For the reason that the word “domestically” for all readers of the English language article does not equal “in the United States,” please change:

==International broadcast==

The show is available to watch on Netflix in a number of countries outside the United States, including Australia, while the first three seasons are available to stream domestically on Hulu.

to:

==International broadcast==

The show is available to watch on Netflix in a number of countries, including Australia, while the first three seasons are available to stream in the United States only on Hulu. Videsque (talk) 20:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Multiverse
In the paragraph that describes that rick is from dimension C-137, you could have gone into a little more detail about the premise that there are infinite ricks and could have also mentioned the citadel. --BenjiPolk2112 (talk) 03:04, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Themes and Analysis
I'm not sure if discussing the common breaks in the fourth-wall belong in a theme section. It kind of seems like a random fact out of place, even though it is important to point it out. It would probably be a more effective part of a whole analysis section of the article because there's one paragraph about theme and then one for analysis its just this one fact.--BenjiPolk2112 (talk) 03:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
