I kinda feel like you are looking too much at "the adventure"-part - and not enough at what ideas that are being explored and what they reference?
Like watching Seinfeld for its acting.

no the show just became a parody of itself and tried to add character development to make it all work. Perfect example is in season 1, the whole wubbalubbadubdub is mocking absurd catch phrases in sitcoms. Pretty easy reference. Easy joke that works.

then the next season he turns himself into a pickle and actually has a catchphrase Im pickle rick! He gets into a fight with some guy named Jaguar? And then he has some big emotional moment with some therapist and his family. It just was stupid senseless action and aimed at people who would buy a pickle Rick t shirt unironically. They probably saw how crazy people went over the McDonalds sauce and said crap we need to market ourselves to these people theyll eat up anything.

season 1 did have many good references. Like I said its a good season. I like the one where he shrinks down for Christmas. But it declines quick
