    Yeah…

    R&M is never going to be the same.

    It’s not just his voice, it’s his humour, his timing, his ability to improvise, he basically IS the entire show.

    Trying to make a copy of a show like this is completely pointless.

    Best to move on and create something new.

    Also, weren’t his charges dismissed?

      Justin’s humor was unique but was really dry when he was in his own. The other writers really brought his voice to life, IMHO. On that note, I think he was only a writer on one or two episodes of R&M.

        Yeah I think if you only have to watch Solar Opposites to see that… his writing touch isn’t really crucial to R&M! Good riddance! Someone else can make their mark with the voice acting!

      Allegedly Roiland hasn’t been very involved in the creative process of the show since season 2. He just mostly showed up to the record booth (like Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane).

      Dan Harmon (the other co-creator and) and the remaining writting team were responsible for it.

      Do you sit in the writer’s room? What information do you have that contradicts what actual writers and actors on the show have said about Roiland’s (lack of) involvement in later seasons?

      The article said they were under contract to make 10 seasons worth. Maybe they think it’s easier to just ride out the contract than break it.
