I have tried BoJack on two separate occasions, never grabbed me. I love Will Arnet, and that type of comedy (Arrested Development) is right in my wheelhouse.
I'll give it another try.

Arnet is awesome, but he couldn't save Lego Batman. Don't know what they were smoking when they cooked that one up. But that is a hugely ripe fruit for Rick and Morty to parody.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Justin Roiland did an interesting prank call to Joel Osteen's Mega Church
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I couldn't believe how they retaliated against Roiland; it's like they were punking him instead.

That was gold.

I loved this latest episode. Every horrible memory removed from Morty's head, replayed anthology-style instead of the traditional Interdimensional Cable episodes that are the eighth episode of every season. Whether by Morty's request or because Rick did something he didn't want Morty remembering, each of them completely classic.

It's on youtube, go watch it already. I could barely contain myself wanting to wake up as early as possible Monday morning and catch it before going to work.

I've tried watching it a couple of times but really can't get into it.

That's a shame. Even I found it kind of hard to believe it's got 100% approval ratings on RottenTomatoes and such from critics for both first and second seasons, since it's not for everybody, but even if it's not your cup of tea, it's really well-put-together.
