'''Rick and Morty''' is an award winning, humorous (although sometimes crude, or seldomly not crude) animated TV program that was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, is produced by the organizations Williams Street, Harmonious Claptrap, Starburns Industries, Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions, Rick and Morty LLC, and Green Portal Productions, and came out in 2013.<ref>https://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty</ref> Science fiction elements of the show include time travel, inter-dimensional travel, alien planets, extraterrestrials, Meeseeks boxes (which generate a creature that will perform the desired task and then disappear), intelligence boxes, inter-dimensional cable, gene splicing, and more. Many of these elements conflict with Christian teachings, such as inter-dimensional travel; none of the extra dimensions featured in the show, such as Buttworld, are featured in the Genesis creation account featured in the Bible. The show could be understood as a parable warning of the dangers of modern science (evolution, relativity, quantum mechanics, string theory, multiverse, etc), as all of the fantastic gadgets and adventures Rick plans often make the Smith household, and the world, worse places. Rick rarely if ever takes responsibility for his own actions. Although Rick is exceptionally intelligent, he lacks wisdom and ethics, and is a poor role model for children, teenagers, and adults for that matter. An earlier show, The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, created by Justin Roiland, loosely inspired by characters from Back to the Future, served as a precursor to this one; it ran for four episodes on Channel 101, founded by Dan Harmon (beware, the show is MUCH more vulgar than Rick and Morty). 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. Viewers have continued to proclaim the news about the show to their friends from the rooftops, which increases the audience of the show, raising the rates to advertise on the show, making it more likely for more episodes to be ordered. Some critics have become fed up with some of the fan's antics, including members of the show's own staff <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/on-demand/0/rick-morty-mania-toxic-fans-made-hit-cartoon-hate-movement/</ref>. It is an opinion of many fans that the show is too politically correct. Some fans believe that the character Rick is a genius who should be idolized and others think he should not. A particularly vocal portion of the fandom believes that a viewer must possess a considerable intellect and a deep grasp of theoretical physics, world philosophy and science fiction literature, and believe that anyone who dislikes the show is simply not intelligent enough; the Rick and Morty fanbase has a significant disagreement with the Futurama fanbase over which show is more intelligent. Fans of the show come from all over the political spectrum, although a particularly vocal portion are techno-libertarians.  Some animation experts have called Rick and Morty the most influential animated show since [[The Simpsons]] first aired. The show is available on the leftist streaming service Hulu (which is available at three separate plans, with Classic at $5.99 a month, No Ads at $11.99 a month, or Hulu + Live TV at $54.99 a month, There are many other shows in addition to films on the service)  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, not to mention several other miscellaneous oddities. R&M has also inspired [[comic book]]s, [[Dungeons and Dragons]] roleplaying game supplements, video games, a [[pinball]] table, DLC for other video games as well as licensed Monopoly and Clue games. Rick andd 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, helping to entrench that console's grip over the higher end video gaming industry (the only home PlayStation console that failed to outsell its competitors was the Playstation 3); these segments are quite similar in format to the regular show, except much shorter and more constrained in subject matter. 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> There has been no word as of yet whether the characters Korvo, Terry, Jesse, Yumyulak, the Pupae or any other Solar Opposites character will appear on Rick and Morty; this would be relatively easy to fit in the story given the nature of the setting, but rights issues or the opinion of the writers may intervene.

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(the Springfield Republican Party made its headquarters in a gothic castle, with accompanying ominous lighting and thunder. Before The Simpsons aired in 1989, Republicans had won the last 4 out of 5 Presidential Elections; since then Republicans have won the popular presidential vote only once.) Expies of Christian megatoons Larry the Tomato and Bob the Cucumber (they of the hit video series [[Veggietales]]) drop by during one episode, to derision over their show's production values and quality. The portmanteau character Abrodolph Lincoler, combining the first Republican President of the United States with one of the most infamous far left dictators in history, will not endear the show to conservatives either.  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. Rick will not stop at anything to guarantee his and his family's safety during an adventure. 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. The [[Parents Television Council]] has criticized the show for its adult content; its home channel was found to have the most mature content out of the sample, which included several television networks, and was accused of marketing adult animation to children <ref>https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/parents-television-council-sink-adult-swim-article-1.1605975</ref>. Christian conservative right-wing Republicans who display interest in the show may be better served by the comparatively more family friendly show [[Futurama]] or [[The Simpsons]] instead.
