The one exception was the third season premiere, but that can be easily attributed to the fact that it premiered with no advance notice and people only found out about it through word-of-mouth and social media. Each episode’s first airing has attracted more than a million viewers, which is very good for a basic cable program that’s airing after 11:00 pm on a Sunday. The first season of the show averaged over 1.5 million viewers for each newly aired episode.

Harmon and Roiland put together an additional scene with Morty being more assertive and the network gave them both the thumbs up. Adult Swim did like the idea but was hesitant to allow Roiland to do the voices of both main characters since they felt Morty was very underdeveloped. When Harmon was approached to create a series for Adult Swim, he consulted with Roiland for ideas on an animated show and repeatedly brought up the Doc and Mharti characters being expanded into their own show. One of Roiland’s creations was an animated short called “The Adventures of Doc and Mharti,” which starred parody versions of Doc Brown and Marty McFly from “Back to the Future.” The short got a very positive reaction from audiences and Roiland would make several more. The origin of the show started when Roiland met Harmon through “Channel 101,” a monthly, non-profit exhibition of short programming that Harmon had been a co-founder of. Rick’s abrupt return into the life of his daughter, Beth ( Sarah Chalke), after having been absent for over 20 years, rocks the foundation of the entire family including Beth’s emotionally needy husband, Jerry ( Chris Parnell), and their status-seeking daughter, Summer ( Spencer Grammer). Rick is constantly going on adventures through galaxies and alternate realities and bringing Morty along for the ride. The show (created by Roiland and Dan Harmon) centers around the two title characters: Rick Sanchez, a severely alcoholic mad-scientist who doesn’t believe in most conventional wisdom, and Morty Smith, Rick’s emotional and not-so-bright grandson (both voiced by Roiland).
