8 Bad Pilots Of Good TV Shows

2. Rick And Morty

The Office Pilot
Adult Swim

After watching the Pilot of Rick and Morty, I thought I would be fine if I never heard the name "Morty" again. I have not counted myself, but legend has it that they say "Morty" over 100 times over the course of the 22 minute episode. The show introduces Rick and Morty mid-adventure, effectively shoving you head first into their antics. There's no easing into the weirdness of the show, and it comes across as obnoxious.

However, for fans who stuck with the show after that first episode, the obnoxiousness becomes a central part of its charm. It works once you've gotten used to it and fallen in love with the characters and their wacky adventures. That said, pushing that angle in the first episode feels too a-*burp*-rupt.
