Earlier this year, Rick and Morty Season Three episode “Pickle Rick” won an Emmy for “Outstanding Animated Program” and for good reason. Granted, the ratings for Emmys continue to dwindle every year and their importance will probably me meaningless over the course of the next decade, BUT, for now, let’s pretend it matters. For all intents and purposes, “Pickle Rick” was an excellent episode. It was well-written and should be a standard bearer for the course of the next several years in terms of animated excellence joining the likes of BoJack Horseman’s “Fish Out Of Water” and numerous episodes of The Simpsons i.e. “Mr. Plow”, “Homer at the Bat”, and countless others.
