It's ok not to like Rick and Morty, it's not going to be for everyone. What isn't ok is living in such squalor that your television explodes from fly corpses.

There are goons who work on this show, who can probably give you a better rundown than the drama on that website.

I am pro union on principal but find the TVIV posters in the rick and morty threads, find the ones who work on the show, and ask them to talk about it and give their perspective, as a worker on the show, before you take an article that isnt very fairly representing what happened.

No it didn't. It was just Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Harvey Birdman, Sealab and Aquateen for the first few months because they were just throwing up cheap to produce poo poo with characters they already outright owned. Anime came a few months in to the cycle and ruined it on Saturdays

Ding ding ding! Only anime in it to begin with was Bebop. They started adding the other anime after a few months.

Space Ghost coast to coast was loving awesome. There still hasn't been anything like it since. The revival was a bit iffy but still pretty good.

I like Rick and Morty and they have done some very fun worldbuilding. I think the guy who wrote the stuff on the Instagram account is a goon, too.


Yeah, that was super hosed up and I was really disappointed when I read this. You'd think that coming from the industry, they would care more about the people working for them than the usual rear end in a top hat executive but I guess not. :/

eh the worst thing he did was say 'gently caress THE UNION' while he was mad and then later deleted it :shrug:

an animator for this show popped in the other month (in TVIV i think?) and talked about that exact situation and said the article written about it was completely overblown.

That's good to know, at least. I haven't followed the thread religiously so I didn't see that happen, I had only read the articles.

Adult Swim was preceded by Toonami: Midnight Run, which was all anime. So while Adult Swim started out with only Cowboy Bebop, the concept of a late night programming block for older teens on the Cartoon Network began with all anime.
