Futurama
TV Shows Like Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty is a love letter for all things sci-fi. It frequently tips its cap to iconic series such as Alien, Planet of the Apes, and even Mad Max. Futurama was the king of doing the same thing when it was on the air, taking the versatility of The Simpsons and firing it off into the stars. Fans of Rick and Morty will enjoy the setting, themes, and animation of Futurama, especially the episodes which play around with multiple dimensions and time manipulation. Of course, there’s also a mad scientist in the form of Professor Farnsworth who boasts the same mastery of science as Rick Sanchez, often using it for his own selfish gain.
You can see a lot of similarities between Morty and Fry – frequently placed into situations that are completely out of their depth, armed only with a childlike optimism and a trust in those around them. There’s no doubt that there’s a lot to enjoy here for Rick and Morty fans.
