Changes

'''Rick and Morty''' is a humorous (although sometimes crude) animated TV program that was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, and came out in 2013.<ref>https://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty</ref> The show has created a large and passionate fanbase, which has created shortages of szechaun sauce at McDonald's and started a petition to create a Rick and Morty feature film, and have stampeded to several internet websites to discuss their favorite show, including at Reddit and TV Tropes. Some critics have become fed up with some of the fan's antics <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/on-demand/0/rick-morty-mania-toxic-fans-made-hit-cartoon-hate-movement/</ref>. Some fans believe that the character Rick is a genius who should be idolized and others think he should not. The show is available on Hulu or on DVD, in addition to the first run and rerun live broadcasts.<ref>https://www.hulu.com/series/rick-and-morty-d76d6361-3fbf-4842-8dd7-e05520557280</ref>  The show stars an intelligent yet acerbic grandfather together with his more average grandson, who go on several misadventures together aided by Rick's inventions.<ref>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty</ref> The pair live with other family members, including Jerry Beth and Summer. In addition to the four seasons already out, which will be followed by 60 additional episodes, there have been three televised specials taking place in alternative scenarios, such as an Australian Smith-Sanchez family. Rick and Morty have also lent their talents to the advertising sector, appearing in promotions for such esteemed brands as [[Alien]], [[Wendy's]], [[Pringles]], and the [[Sony]] [[PlayStation]] 5. The show is available in both censored and uncensored versions, depending on the source. During the off season, Mr. Roiland draws the show [[Solar Opposites]]. <ref>https://www.hulu.com/series/solar-opposites-f089664b-1a87-433b-86a5-24e7da5a246a</ref>

The show's crossover with ultraliberal agitpropers [[the Simpson's]] during a couch gag proves that the show is at least accepting of Democratic political ideas, values, and talking points. Expies of Christian megatoons Larry the Tomato and Bob the Cucumber drop by during one episode, to derision over their show's production values and quality. However, when Rick encounters a problem or difficulty, he never asks intergalactic bureaucrats or officials for a handout; he rolls up his sleeves and generates his own solution using his own faculties, leaning on his grandson Morty and other friends for help. The adult oriented content in the show would indicate a socially liberal editorial stance. Some pastors have deemed the show anti-Christian, anti-family, and anti-American <ref>https://www.pluggedin.com/tv-reviews/rick-and-morty/</ref>, contrary to the standing ovations the series has received from agnostic critics.

==Resources for Home-Schoolers==

Home-Schoolers should consult an authority figure, such as a parent or pastor, before watching the program Rick and Morty due to the excessive violence and vulgarities. The works of H G Wells, Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury or William Gibson may be preferable to this particular program, and would have more academic study devoted to them. If you happen to study television as part of your homeschooling studies, a few resources are included. <br>
