R&M without him? Lol how? He voices Morty and Rick. Lmfao that his exit won’t affect the show.

Mark it down. Next season will be the last.

Can’t wait for them to go through a portal and end up in a black and white Charlie Chaplin non-speaking dimension.

So what if he's found innocent, or the charges are dropped? Couldn't they just suspend him until it's over? The case is sealed and pretrial isn't for a couple months, do they have some info the public doesn't have?

I thought Adult Swim/CN/Toonami was in trouble before this with everyone going over to streaming, and the leadership change at HBO/Discover. Yikes...

They should just do what they did to Rosanne Barr and just kill off Rick and Morty, re-title the show "The Smiths" and keep the money train going with Jerry, Summer, and Beth.

Would it be stupid like they did with "The Conners"? Sure, but that show is still somehow on the air.

That's what I'm assuming. The shite has to be pretty bad that they drop him all together. Cartoon Network has historically stood behind controversy and controversial content. So I can't image them pulling the cord unless they absolutely had to.

That said, I don't know how they do it without him but with Rick and Morty's popularity they may be able to bring someone in that can voice the characters. I think Harmon can handle the content creation himself.

Roiland, 42, was charged in Orange County, Calif., with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. He pleaded not guilty in 2020 and appeared in court Thursday, Jan. 13, 2023, for a pre-trial hearing.

A trial date has not yet been set. He is due for another pre-trial hearing on April 27.

According to the felony complaint, obtained by Variety, the incident occurred on or around Jan. 19, 2020, against an unnamed Jane Doe who was dating Roiland at the time.


Variety article

I believe there's been some other accusations with approaching minors, but he hasn't been charged with anything like that at this point so I don't know how much is behind that.

I think the timing is interesting. If the initial charges happened in 2020, I can't help but think they probably found out about some really damming evidence at the pre-trial.

What? They literally canceled World Peace after a successful first season because Tim Heidecker ran a smear campaign.
