I've listed this article for peer review because I would like feedback on further developing it into a B-class or potentially GA-class article.

Making a peer review on this...I should have one within a week. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 13:09, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[...]“Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim.”[...] I think you can remove the part about Cartoon Network and just say Adult Swim.
I suggest removing the sentence about it being distributed by Warner Bros, because it is mentioned in the infobox.
In the third paragraph of the lead, I’m a bit confused on what it means by “originality”. What exactly in this context is “original”? Is it the humor/settings/characters/etc?
I think Screen Rant is kind of a poor citation in the premise section. Since the premise does not necessarily need citations, my preference would be just to remove it.
Development, Writing, and Animation sections are acceptable for GA I think.
Philosophy : [...] Rick and Morty has been described as "a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism"[...] You should mention the author here.
Just a little nitpick, but some of the citations could have wikilinks to the articles of their parent outlets, such as Vice Media for VICE citations. Not strictly necessary, but a little helpful.
[...]“Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV. —Morty”[...] This quote is uncited. It could be removed through, since the previous sentence basically explains the point that the quote helps convey.
I suggest you read WP:RECEPTION and take note of some of the tips there. Since this is a very popular show, I think that the reception section can be expanded.
There is a lot of stuff in the other media section that is listed by bullet points. Perhaps this stuff can be merged into paragraphs or split into its own list article?

@FormalDude Those are some of the major things I saw. Some other reviewers are probably a bit more eagle-eyed than me and will notice some other stuff that needs addressing. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 20:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @CollectiveSolidarity! I implemented most of that, though some I'll have to save for later. The word "originality" in the lede means novel or unique and I believe is referring to the premise of the show. ––FormalDude (talk) 03:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Z1720

Comments after a quick skim:

"Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom, while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney's Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time." Needs a citation
The "Ratings" section has lots of small paragraphs, which I think can be merged together for better prose.
First paragraph of the comics section needs a citation at the end.
Per WP:FORBESCON, ref 27 is not considered a reliable source.

Hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thanks! Did everything but the Ratings section, still working on that. ––FormalDude (talk) 07:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
