Like Community, an episode sets up a familiar story and then goes sideways to resolve it in an original way. I'll admit I can't grasp fandom - if I enjoy a series I will watch and if I don't I will immediately abandon it. But that might be because of my age. Back when TOS was on daily in the after school slot and I was in high school I certainly was a fan. I can't look at Rick and Morty the same way. I never thought about identifying with Rick. He starts out the series as an abusive sociopath and develops a bit of empathy as the season progresses. He also makes decisions and acts with no regard for consequences and I find that horrifying in a role model. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
