Firing Line on WOSU

The sort of in depth, rational discussion of issues that I naively believed might come into play with the 24 hour news channels.

I am in love with Margaret Hoover.

Give it a try.

Other than being cartoons about families I see no similarities.

Rick = Stewie, Morty = Chris, traveling through different dimensions and dogs taking over = Road to the Multiverse, randomly killing background/side characters with no concer/reprecusions (the bully in the first episode). It all felt, to me, very much like ground that has already been covered...and done better.

Rick and Morty is dark humor and nihilism. Family Guy is a satire with cutaway gags and the occasional edgy joke because the writers want FTC complaints.

I didn't like season 3 that much but I'd still take it over anything Family Guy's put out. Then again I've never liked Seth MacFarlane's style.

I understand the difference in tone, I just thought the setup felt McFarlane-esque. Granted, I haven't watched anything McFarlane has done in nearly a decade. Maybe that threw my expectations off.

Plus Rick and Morty is funny.

Agree to disagree. Unless it drastically changes after episode 2. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
