He's a grandpa. An extremely eccentric one sure, but he cares for his family (...in some weird capacity I guess), except maybe his son in law.

I'm pretty sure Rick cares about his family. When he saw that Morty had had a rough time with King Jellybean, he immediately decided that Morty's adventure had to succeed. And after they left (I like to think more time passed for them than we saw from the adventure dimension), once Rick found out what really happened, he created another portal and killed that Jellybean prick. And Rick loving with the Devil seemed half Bugs Bunny and half being protective of Summer -- he didn't think she should be working for the Devil, but he's not just going to say he's worried about her when he can beat the guy and run him off instead.

I'm especially glad that Jerry hasn't really come out on top. Except for in Rick Potion #9, I guess; but that doesn't count, because we don't watch that dimension any more. For some reason, I love seeing him get abused.

I think Archer kind of shot itself in the foot with that awesome montage of "stuff that's going to happen" (only half of which actually did) in the first episode. Also, it seemed to lean pretty hard on a small number of jokes. Also also, adding a baby is never good news. :(

If it surprises you that the main writer for Rick, an sociopath atheist libertarian who literally constantly goes off on political rants, exclusively gets the last word and is constantly portrayed as "too correct for his own good" has less then rosy feelings for labour politics, I don't know what to tell you. Rick literally elects to burn his business to the ground instead of filing employer paperwork.

Roiland may be a prick, but Rick hates paperwork because it's boring, not because he's trying to screw his employees.

I really hate that this is acceptable to people. I saw a lot of it in the game industry, from testers to developers, people are treated as meat puppets with an unyielding wave of new recruits who will do anything to land their "dream job". When you can ship one of the largest games in history, then face massive lay offs, there is something wrong with the industry as a whole. So I full support and encourage people to stand up for their rights and I'm glad you guys are getting this resolved and can get back to work making the best cartoon on TV.

The part that bothers me is that people in charge will say "well, that's just the way it's done", as if that makes it all okay. :rant:

For those of you who don't watch Gravity Falls, Justin Roiland voiced a time traveler who appeared in the backgrounds of episodes for months before his episode aired, and whose episode had split-second glimpses to scenes from episodes from the rest of the season. They're really into dropping weird little hints.

I've never seen that show, but that's really cool. I love that kind of thing.

Saying Too Many Cooks is one joke is like saying The Beatles were one note because they wrote a bunch of songs about love. You can approach a subject from different angles and it's not the video's fault you don't understand nuance.

I agree, Too Many Cooks is just like the Beatles; overrated and uninteresting.

I might have it wrong, but I'm going off of someone I know who worked on the first season when it was non-union and my own talks with the union last month. There are probably people closer to the current circumstances than I am so I'll defer to them.

Not too aware of the controversy about people blaming Harmon for it, but would not be surprised if people decided he was the bad guy for dumbass reasons. I wouldn't think that as writer/creator he has final say or even any control over the contracts the artists sign, but considering he's a public figure it's probably that people just use him as a symbol for the show.

It may not be fair, but you can't point out and shame the companies or the businessmen who are actually responsible for the screwing. So people have to try to exert pressure through the public figures who might actually care about angry people and have some ability to feel shame.

So if they avoid mentioning "in" things, they're irrelevant, and if they do so they're "desperate"? If desperation makes things as funny as the Rick & Morty couch gag, then all shows should be that desperate. That was great.

Generally, if something can be described as "a national treasure", that means it's past the time that thing was really culturally relevant.
