REGULAR SHOW
Regular Show is an Emmy-winning Cartoon Network animated sitcom by J.G. Quintel, following blue jay Mordecai & raccoon Rigby as park groundskeepers whose mundane jobs turn into surreal, sci-fi adventures, airing from 2010-2017 (8 seasons), known for its 80s pop culture, simple art, and appeal to teens/adults despite mild language.
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH REGULAR SHOW?
You should watch Regular Show because it’s the only cartoon brave enough to start with “two dudes working a normal park job” and end with cosmic beings, time travel, interdimensional wars, and a raccoon who absolutely refuses to take responsibility.
One minute they’re arguing about who has to clean the bathroom, the next minute the fate of reality depends on a cursed VHS tape or a keyboard solo so powerful it summons lightning. It teaches important life lessons like:
-
never trust talking food,
-
never accept dares from your coworker,
-
and everything can be solved with rock music… or made way worse by it.
Also, the show grows up with you. It starts as pure chaos, then suddenly you’re like, “wait… why is this raccoon’s character development hitting harder than my taxes?” 😭
In short:
Regular Show is what happens when a cartoon says “what if we made adulthood relatable… but extremely unhinged.” And honestly? That’s beautiful.
