* Synopsis

* Let’s sum it up like this: the family gets bored of their regular television. Rick decides the thing to do is craft a new cable box, using crystallized xanthanite, to show the Smith family how many other types of shows are out there. After they catch a reality where Jerry is a movie star, Beth, Jerry, and Summer force Rick to make goggles that let them see through their other realities’ eyes.Rick and Morty continue watching TV

Summer uses the goggles and finds out that the only realities she exist are in the ones where she wasn’t aborted and wants to run away. She doesn’t cause Morty stops her.

Jerry and Beth almost get a divorce but don’t because even in alternate realities they end up together.

Rick and Morty continue watching amazing tv.

* Rixty Minutes was the first episode of Television to premiere on Instagram. Obnoxious marketing decision or brilliant obnoxious marketing decision? Did any of you take the time to watch it in 15second increments? Did you wait until the television premiere?

* Obligatory: What’s your favorite sketch & Why? What’s your least favorite sketch & why?

Bryan mentioned that the original story for Ball Fondlers involved Ninja-Turtles characters who had to fondle each other’s balls to charge up their super powers. Are you happy with how it turned out? How does that make you feel inside?

* Follow-up If you could see a spin-off series based on one of the interdimensional TV sketches, which one do you think would have the most potential as an independent series?

* Give me your best example of something on youtube/the internet-at-large that would be at home on the Interdimensional TV Guide List. Ya know, some real /r/deepintoyoutube / r/interdimensionalcable shit.
