different strokes i guess? really really disliked this one; "family guy" comparisons felt painfully appropriate.

I liked it, but for those who don't, is it really fair to blame this on Harmon? I mean, the improvised "alien TV" thing is basically a half-hour version of the "alien news" gag from House of Cosbys...

aw rick is still watching ball fondlers when summer comes back.is it me or in just about every other episode the dad has something happen that makes him feel good about himself, feel competent/relevant, only to crushingly return hto his more usual mediocrity. apple ad campaign being a major success in the alien's virtual reality, he's some kind of survival hero protecting his daughter and wife, this time he's a big celebrity on pluto etc.also the opening & closing bits of butter robot wondeing about his purpose and summer & rick montage killed me.

the butter robot opening just slayed me. "what is my purpose?" "you pass the butter" "oh my goddddddd" "welcome to the team, pal."

so we're only three episodes in, but this show is kind of consistently good now somehow. They dropped the Family Guy style cultural dada and are focusing on two or three clever ideas per ep and then engaging in adventure time style world building / character development. Hope they stay the course.

Yeah first three eps have been great, and the first episode might be my favorite thing they've done so far. The show's way better when it sticks to crazy ideas instead of pop culture refs. Futurama's the same way. They also need to cut back on the sentimental moments, they always feel thrown in and unearned. That's one thing Futurama did way better.

New season has hit it out the park every episode.I don't find the emotional/sentimental bits unearned at all; character is v much at the heart of this show, it's never just wacky adventures in space (tho it's that as well)

after my effusive praise upthread, shwifty felt like a comedown. its one of the weakest episodes of this or last season. I don't believe Rick would care too much about saving the world, morty's story didn't really add anything and the organised religion satire was route one of a kind that this show doesn't usually sink to. i wouldn't mind all this if the episode made me laugh but it missed that goal as well for me. it all felt a bit community s6. after 4 episodes of unadulterated joy they're due a coaster i suppose.

the one where they're just watching random TV tapped into something preternaturally funny for me. I could just watch that forever.

Didn't feel the last episode. I read the story "Microcosmic God" last year (also the inspiration of that Simpsons episode and that South Park episode). I think its ending hinted at recursively small worlds as well. It also has a creator who intentionally wiped out major portions of the micro population to have them evolve -- far darker than having them exercise to run a car battery. The show's B-plot was T2 kneecap shooting taken to a comedic extreme and I liked it.

anyway this episode was weak. nothing as inspired as the door commercial that keeps on going from the first infinite tv.

the episodes focused on dick jokes and non-sequiturs are nowhere near as good as the ones that are myth building based

I thought both TV eps were kind of weak but I did appreciate the alien How It's Made. nailed the voiceover style and the background music so perfectly
(in the 1st one I liked the extended fake doors ad, and the ~emotional twist~ was strangely affecting the first time, but it didn't stand up to a 2nd viewing. also I always appreciate a moment of Belly nostalgia obv)
― a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 24 September 2015 11:03 (eight years ago) link
I love the alien names in this show. Shrimpy Pibbles, St. Gloopy Noops hospital, Andy Daly's character a while back being called Krombopulos Michael...just all of it.
