Been pretty quiet at Swim lately, outside of some “Eagleheart” and the (final)? “Greatest Event in Television History.” So, how DID Swim’s newest cartoon series “Rick and Morty” do on Monday nights? According to Vulture.com, it’s been hitting pretty big everywhere!
His Adult Swim animated series is turning into something of a juggernaut with young men: Last night’s episode jumped up to a 1.5 rating with guys under 35, putting it ahead of FX’s Archer (1.4 in that demo) and everythingthat aired on the Big Four broadcast networks (save for How I Met Your Mother and 2 Broke Girls). R&M even outdrew last Thursday’s episode of Community among men under 35 (his NBC comedy notched a 1.0 in the dude demo).
So there you have it. Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s animated masterpiece fared better than both “Archer” and Harmon’s own “Community.” Vulture also predicts that Season Two will be in the works. We say: Bring it on!
