"A Rickle in Time", alongside the second episode of the second season, "Mortynight Run", leaked online one month before its television premiere.[28] Roiland noted that it was ripped from a press-only site, with subtle audio and animation errors that would be fixed in the final version. On the ethics of watching the leaked episodes, Roiland commented, "I will say this: I don’t think that any fans — or even non-fans — that end up watching it are villainous. [...] I don’t think anyone should beat themselves up too bad for doing it, but it’s more of a bummer that someone else made the decision to put it out into the world before it was ready."[2] Upon its premiere on television, the episode received a 1.1 rating and was watched by a total of 2.12 million people, making it tied as the most watched show on cable that night.[29]
