In the wild world of American animated comedies, chaos is always around the corner. Here’s a list of shows you should definitely check out if you’re a fan of Rick and Morty.
Rick and Morty follows the brilliant yet cynical scientist Rick and his gullible grandson Morty on their wild adventures across different dimensions. This show from the US network Adult Swim has captivated millions of fans around the world and reached cult status. But there are other shows out there that could grab your attention just as much. Here are some great alternatives.
Solar Opposites
From the creators of Rick and Morty comes Solar Opposites, a sci-fi comedy about an alien family seeking refuge on Earth after their home planet is destroyed. The aliens can’t quite agree: is Earth great, or is it terrible? The show humorously explores how humanity embodies both extremes.
Koala Man
Koala Man also had one of the Rick and Morty creators involved. The show is about Kevin, an ordinary family man who becomes a self-appointed superhero, keeping law and order – despite having no special powers. His identity isn’t much of a secret, but Kevin is completely dedicated to his mission, even if it sometimes drags his family into his superhero escapades.
Gravity Falls
Not made by the Rick and Morty team, but still offering a similar vibe, Gravity Falls is a mystery-comedy that aired on Disney Channel from 2012 to 2016. It’s aimed more at younger audiences and follows siblings Dipper and Mabel as they visit their grumpy Great Uncle Stan in the mysterious woods of Gravity Falls, where they stumble into increasingly strange and hilarious adventures.
Adventure Time
Adventure Time follows the quirky and surreal adventures of Finn, a 14-year-old boy with a peculiar hat, and his best friend Jake, a magical dog. Together, they explore the fantastical Land of Ooo, having absurd yet exciting adventures. This is a true classic with over 270 episodes across 10 seasons.
Family Guy
If dark humor and political incorrectness are more your thing, Family Guy is a must-watch. Set in the fictional town of Quahog, the show follows the Griffin family – the chaotic Peter, his wife Lois, their children Chris, Meg, baby Stewie, and their talking dog Brian – as they get into all sorts of bizarre and hilarious situations.
