In case you weren’t aware, Rick and Morty had its humble beginnings from a beautiful thing called Channel 101. 

Channel 101 is the indie TV institution created by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab that still runs to this day with its own self-sustaining creative community. It’s also the place where Harmon met his Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland.
