Ricks voice


that voice with all the burping and grunts. Does it stay like that through the rest of the series?

reply

It does ease up some later, but that quality is always there. It drove me nuts at first, too. But the story is so good, now I rarely even notice anymore.

"He's just an old guy who loves pranks." "Sure sounds like God."

Thank you for the reply. I'm still not quite sure if i want to continue to watch the show though.

I wasn't either, initially. I remained on the fence a long time, four or five episodes I think. Normally I'd drop a show much faster than that, but the creativity of the storytelling here kept me coming back in spite of the elements that griped my ass.

Then there was an episode that changed everything... but you can't skip ahead, it won't have the same impact. Now this is one of the few shows that I regularly re-watch multiple times.

"Grover's a Muppet's name, Brian."

i might give it another try in the future. outside of that horrendous voice, i thought there was nothing wrong with the show, i think its pretty neat.

I recommend Episode 9 of Season 2.

To me that was the initial thing that hooked me. I remember thinking "wait so this guy is a scientific genius inventor but balls to the wall hammered all the time? It's genius! It's stupid! It's both!

It's iconic

It was episode 6 of season 1 that kept you in it wasn't it?

I was always more distracted by the fact he has a young man's voice when he's supposed to be an old man. There is a huge difference, our voices change a huge amount as we age. It weirds me out when he refers to Beth, an adult woman, as his daughter or calls her 'sweety' - didn't sit right with me at first, though I did get used to it (although I don't really think of him as an old man throughout the show).
