Most staff writers at Rick and Morti have started writing about a different TV show. Cody Ziglar, a writer for Season 7, who spoke with /film in an interview with Zoom, wrote about shows as "Robot Chicken" and "Che-Hulk" before writing about Revival of 2023 Futurama. It was in the set of Futurama writers where he heard some David H. Cohen, the co-creator of Futurama, who began his start to the Simpsons. As Ziglar explained:

"Futurama" is even more beautiful (than 'Rick and Morti'), because the show lasted for so long. 20 plus years, outdoors. But David would always tell this funny anecdote. David would always come to the show, and always tell this funny anecdote about how, how they have this. Staff) have not yet reached so far, but we could tell versions of the same story. "

It is the anecdote that most checks, depending on what you think is "the same story". There are many episodes of the "Simpsons" where Sidashow Bob escapes from prison and tries to kill Bart, for example, but you can claim that the dynamics change enough every time to get rid of this rule. After all, of all the episodes of Sishu Bob in the series, surprisingly little turn around Bob, trying to kill Bart Specifically.

Perhaps the clearest example of this "Simpsons" rule was with Homer's mother, Mona (Glenn Clos). She was there for the first story "Homer unites with his mother" at "Simpson's Mother" of Season 7. The show repeats much of the same narrative shot in the 15th "Mother's Karja", next to the part where Mona should return to the run. The 19th Mona Lis-A season begins as another sequel to Mother Simpson, but comes with Mona's early twist diesCutting off the possibility of more stories "Mona Returns" the stories from that point forward.

It is a testimony to how creative the "Simpsons" that, even after 36 seasons of the series, is difficult to find any clear examples of the show breaking this rule. Remembering one -off characters (such as Murphy or Lurlin Lumpin bleeding) return only for larger stories one or twice before the show decides that they have done enough with them. Even the types of episodes that you think the show has done a million times before (like the classic template "Homer and Marge facing a marriage crisis") vary sufficiently in scope and tone that rarely think they tell the same story.

"Rick and Morti" has fewer episodes under the belt so far, which means that there is less danger of repeating too much. Even yet, the unwillingness of writers to rethink the same concepts is shown through the treatment of the show for his episodes of anthology. Once both season 1 and 2 are characterized by interdimensional cable premise, fans have realized that this will be equivalent to the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror show. But writers "Rick and Morti" turned things on and made their episode of the season 3 anthology as a deleted clip show, What would you do again in season 7.

In Season 4, Rick and Morti made Ultra-Meta Concept for its Anthology Specialthat repeated in the 6th season. Forget the rule not to pass three episodes - "Rick and Morti" seems to not want to rethink the same premise at this point more than twice. It is a bit disappointing for fans who still find that interdimensional cable is one of the funniest concepts of the series, but I give the writing staff props to show a certain restriction.

Futurama, despite most episodes, is in a similar ship as "Rick and Morti". It definitely has its own episodes of sequel, such as the floating strainers who attack the Earth in two separate exits, but it seemed to be pleased to break the premise after the second or third rehearsal.

Asked about the difference between writing for "Futurama" reviving and writing for "Rick and Morti" Season 7, Cody Zijar offered its download:

"There is still a lot of independence of" Rick and Morti ", where you will only leave and write a script. I enjoy it. "

It is an approach that you can definitely feel when you watch the two series. Futurama's rebirth has a constant tone every week; Some episodes are better than others, but it never feels like an idea of ​​the story coming out of nowhere, nor is jokes ever surprised by viewers too much with their style or range.

Meanwhile, there are many episodes "Rick and Morti" that feel like their own special work, for better or worse. Season 7 episodes Like "a scared free" And "raising the numbers: the film" have different writers and you can feel that through their many different tones and styles. As Zigarar said, "you really have to see what makes that writer happy, or what makes their sense of humor."
