The show revolves around the chemical pair of the depressed, alcoholic, sociopathic scientist Rick Sanchez and his anxious grandson Morty as they adventure to insanely dangerous alien planets and alternate dimensions. Meanwhile, they also have to contend with some serious family drama from Morty\u2019s holier-than-thou mother, insecure father, and angsty-teen older sister.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of now, the first five seasons of Rick and Morty have gained massive attention in the realm of contemporary pop culture due to its cast of unforgettable characters and excentric storyline.

The family consists of the bumbling blue-collar worker Peter, the stay-at-home mother Lois, and their three kids; their regularly-ridiculed teenage daughter Meg, their unintelligent teenage son Chris, and their evil, super-genius infant named Stewie. They also have an anthropomorphic, English-speaking dog with arguably more intelligence than \u2158 of his human owners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The well-loved sitcom is <strong>already greenlit for its 21st season <\/strong>with seemingly no sign of stopping soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Are you eager to cut the cord with traditional cable TV services to take your entertainment experience to the next level? <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/\"><strong><em>RiverTV<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> is the first Canadian live TV and on-demand streaming provider to hit the market with thousands of hours of popular and original programming!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-bob-s-burgers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_bobs_burgers\"><\/span>3.

All this has led some people to call it one of the best animated TV shows ever made. The animated sitcom revolves around the lives of a burger restaurant owner Bob Belcher, his wife Linda, and their three children, Tina, Gene, and Louise. The show centers around a wide range of shenanigans that impact the family\u2019s day-to-day life- usually caused by the three kids- and the family\u2019s efforts to make their business beat out the local pizzeria owned by their obnoxious neighbor Jimmy Pesto.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show has already racked up an impressive twelve seasons with <strong>a thirteenth on the way, alongside a <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7466442\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>full-length movie<\/strong><\/a> set to release on May 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/hgtv-canada-and-food-network-canada-now-part-of-rivertv-core-package\/\"><strong>HGTV Canada and Food Network Canada Now Part of RiverTV Core Package<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-blade-runner-black-lotus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_blade_runner_black_lotus\"><\/span>4. Blade Runner: Black Lotus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an anime fan- or just a fan of the Blade Runner movies in general- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt9359796\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Blade Runner: Black Lotus<\/strong><\/a><strong> should definitely be on your list of shows to try out this year. <\/strong>The story centers around a young woman, Elle, who wakes up with no memories of her past but carries an arsenal of deadly combat skills. The only clues to her unknown past are a strange device and a tattoo of a black lotus on her shoulder. To piece together her lost identity, she starts hunting down those responsible for the abuse she and many others have suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, <strong>the show only has a single, thirteen-episode season<\/strong> that hasn\u2019t been renewed, and there\u2019s been no confirmation on whether another season will enter the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-king-of-the-hill\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_king_of_the_hill\"><\/span>5. King of the Hill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This last show may surprise those who know that it was canceled after its thirteenth season more than a decade ago in 2010 due to a decline in ratings. Despite that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0118375\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>King of the Hill<\/strong><\/a><strong> is still a top-rated and highly watched show on Adult Swim that appeals to many audience members. <\/strong>The show centers around the straight-laced propane salesman Hank Hill, his wife Peggy, and their son Bobby in the fictional small town of Arlen, Texas, alongside a memorable cast of close friends and family. Though it\u2019s been off the air for several years, the show is still a fan favorite, and reruns are often aired on Adult Swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/canadian-cord-cutters-love-streaming-live-television-on-rivertv\/\"><strong>Canadian Cord Cutters Love Streaming Live Television \u2013 On RiverTV!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-270x152.jpg 270w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn-740x417.jpg 740w, https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/couple-sitting-on-a-couch-eating-popcorn.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"want-to-watch-these-shows-get-rivertv-today-to-start-streaming\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"want_to_watch_these_shows_get_rivertv_today_to_start_streaming\"><\/span>Want to Watch These Shows?
