Rick and Morty Card Match Race Battle
Rick and Morty is a popular American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's nighttime Adult Swim programming block. The show follows the misadventures of the cynical and eccentric mad scientist Rick Sanchez, and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith. Together, they split their time between mundane domestic life and mind-bending interdimensional adventures.
Voiced by Roiland, the titular characters are accompanied by the rest of their dysfunctional family, including Chris Parnell as Jerry, Spencer Grammer as Summer, and Sarah Chalke as Beth. The show originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future, created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short film festival co-founded by Harmon.
Critics have praised the show for its originality, creativity, and humor. The fourth season premiered on November 10, 2019, with ten episodes, and a fifth season was confirmed in July 2020 as part of a long-term deal in May 2018 that ordered 70 new episodes over an unspecified number of seasons.
The series revolves around the Smith household, consisting of parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth's father Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. The family lives outside of Seattle, Washington, according to co-creator Justin Roiland. However, the adventures of Rick and Morty span across an infinite number of realities, with the characters traveling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick's flying car.
Rick is portrayed as an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist who shuns societal norms like school, marriage, love, and family. He often embarks on daring adventures with Morty, a kind-hearted but easily distressed 14-year-old boy. Morty's older sister Summer, a more conventional teenager, occasionally joins them on their escapades. Their mother Beth, a horse surgeon, is generally level-headed and assertive, while their father Jerry is simple-minded and insecure, disapproving of Rick's influence over the family.
Overall, "Rick and Morty" offers a unique blend of science fiction, humor, and social commentary, making it a beloved and critically acclaimed series among viewers.
