"President Curtis" – Rick and Morty's First Spinoff Premieres July 26 on Adult Swim

So when I heard President Curtis was getting his own spinoff show (the first official Rick and Morty spinoff, at that) I got excited because I figured it would just be a lot more of that kind of deeply nerdy humor aimed at history buffs. Fortunately, that’s pretty much exactly what the show is and, as a character, President Curtis works totally independently of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. Created by Rick and Morty director Wes Archer and writer Tom Kauffman (who both helped create the originally-unnamed president), President Curtis premieres on Adult Swim on July 26, kicking off a 10-episode first season, and while the show does have a few shortcomings, its strengths are far greater than its weaknesses.
