I’m late to the party, but am loving the show. Rick is the dark counterpart of Doctor Who and the stories are all amazing. ---

[quote=“Santos\_L\_Halper, post:547, topic:679380”] Cartoon Network’s announced the release date for season 4: November 2019. [/QUOTE] Just over two years since the last episode. Isn’t that six months longer than Mr. PoopyButthole promised? (Or maybe that was the ‘end of season 2’ promise, come to think of it.) ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Just over two years since the last episode. Isn’t that six months longer than Mr. PoopyButthole promised? (Or maybe that was the ‘end of season 2’ promise, come to think of it.) If we take the criteria of last episode to first episode _really_ aired (rather than third series april fool exception, so episode 2 of that season), then we have: Season 1-2 = 1 year 3 months Season 2-3 = 1 year 9 months Season 3-4 = 2 years 1 month I’d take episode 1 to episode 1 (real, so 2.2), then its Season 1-2 = 1 year 7 months Season 2-3 = 2 years Season 3-4 = 2 years 3 months ---

I’ve watched every episode from seasons 1-3 so many times I can recite every one of them, verbatim, by heart (though I can’t always burp on command as necessary ;)). Gettin’ antsy here! ---
