Hello Veeky Forums
I've recently commenced watching this wonder of a tv show and I have to say it's really something. Its complex themes and undertones are some of the most advanced and engaging writing I've seen in decades, possibly in all of television history.
The only problem is that even though these themes usually resonate quite well with me sometimes I feel that there are even more subtle layers and undertones to the show that are just going over my head.
What literature can you recommend that would help me get more out of this show? Where do I begin?

>shouldnt you @ this to dan harmon, justin roiland and co on twitter
also be more specific as to what you think might be going over your head, for me whats interesting is what the show doesnt explicitly say, eg why its men that look like ricks father in the colosseum, beyond fatherly approval and things similar

it's not really a literary matter. the heaviest frame of humanist references applied in R&M comes from positivist thinkers, esp. the pro-science movements, and late XIX century philosophers such as Stirner, Schopenhauer etc.
Other than that, the 'subtle layers' come from hard physics, not necessarily academic level physics, but still, physics.

I love TV shows where you can accurately predict what the writers political opinions are on any given issue. That's how you know it's well written.

That's essentially all TV shows, though.
If you meant to say that TV is shit as a medium I agree.

To greater and lesser degrees. Some shows are better than others. I couldn't tell you what the writers of One Punch Man think about welfare reform or taxes.
