Rick and Morty gets Start Date and Time on Adult Swim!

For YEARS Adult Swim has manned late-night Sunday Nights pretty much by itself with both 12-minute shows like Robot Chicken and 30-minute shows like Venture Bros. and Black Dynamite. Welp, on December 2nd, 2013 Adult Swim tries on Monday Nights because that’s when Rick and Morty gets its premier date.

From Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon comes the new half-hour animated series about a sociopathic scientist who drags his unintelligent grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. An excerpt from a press release obtained from Adult Swim goes into further detail:

After missing for nearly 20 years, Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland) suddenly arrives at his daughter Beth’s (Sarah Chalke) doorstep looking to move in with her and her family. Beth welcomes him with open arms, but her unremarkable husband Jerry (Chris Parnell) isn’t too thrilled about the tearful reunion as Rick’s arrival serves to shake things up quite a bit around the household. Rick converts the garage into his personal laboratory and gets to work on all sorts of dangerous sci-fi gadgets and contraptions. That wouldn’t be so bad if not for the fact that Rick continues to involve his grandchildren Morty (Roiland) and Summer (Spencer Grammer) in his insane adventures.

Created and executive produced by Dan Harmon (Community, Channel 101) and Justin Roiland (House of Cosbys), this half-hour, animated comedy series is produced by Starburns Industries.

So, get locked in kids, Rick and Morty starts December 2nd @ 10:30 pm EST, check your local listings!
