13 Years Later, Dan Harmon’s Most Influential Sitcom Is Aging Like Fine Wine

Comments

1. Junewex: can't say i see the family sitcom angle anymore after all they've put through those characters
2. Zoe: I'm more disappointed by how few shows are still trying to capture its offbeat spark
3. Mirage Shard: Harmon's always been milking this 'existential crisis' angle for all it's worth
4. Brunov: i'm still surprised how many people forget that at its core it's just a show about a weird family and their wild adventures - not that the sci-fi elements don't make it
5. Adeyeminoel: dan harmon's greatest genius is that he never lets the complexity get in the way of how it feels like a goofy cartoon, you know?
6. Luna: Dan Harmon's got a gift for not being afraid to get weird, but at its core Rick and Morty does still feel like family sitcom territory - just with a whole lot
7. Ruby: I mean what even is Harmon's secret to still making it feel like your goofy uncle's basement at 3am on TV
8. Lucas Larsen: danny devito still steals every scene though
9. Mirage Shard: surprised people are just noticing the family sitcom part now I always thought that was what made Rick and Morty so subversive in a weird way
10. Static Drift: still can't get over how they sneakily dropped existential dread into family dinner conversations
11. Diego: i'm surprised more people aren't talking about how dan harmon's obsession with sci-fi hasn't changed the core of rick and morty - it's still a family show
12. Ava: Dan Harmon must be pretty proud to see his dark corners get a seal of approval as "family sitcoms" now, huh?
13. Dane: somehow that show still manages to surprise me, keeps it real
14. Liam: I get that people love Rick and Morty for its dark humor, but it still feels like a kid's show to me, weirdly
15. Ravi: Dan Harmon's got a real knack for getting under people's skin though
16. Sanakarim: loving how Dan Harmon just let it get weird, it adds character lol
17. Jonasm: reminded me of the subtle nuance in Justin Roiland's writing this season on Morty's character development
18. Rayanmarsh: hard to believe it's been 13 years - still no one else touches the multiverse like Harmon does
