OK so this is one of cartoon networks most popular current series along side "Adventure Time". It revolves around the surreal adventures of Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai is a naked, anthropomorphic blue Jay, and Rigby is a short raccoon. Other characters include Pops, a gentleman figure with a giant head, Muscle Man, who is a green fat Guy who always makes fun of his mom, Benson, their boss who is a gum ball machine, and skips who is a skipping snow man Guy. Other characters include high five ghost and the newly added Thomas. Basically episodes revolve around Mordecai and Rigby slacking off and unleashing some super natural entity. That is basically how all the episodes play out.
Another thing to note is its PG rating. I find this show to be a little over the top for a kids network. I was watching this show at 12:00 on a Saturday and they said stuff like "breasts" and "suck it". They've also got away with saying "pissed off" several times. Now I don't have a problem with edgy kids shows, but saying stuff like that is going too far. There have been kids shows in the past that have crossed the line like: Courage The Cowardly Dog, Rocko's Modern Life, and Ren and Stimpy, but this show has some pretty vulgar language that I wouldn't want any kids hearing. This show is also pretty violent, there was a full out gun fight between the FBI and robots. Yes this show is bad, but the other cartoons I listed are just as guilty. Example: in Courage people died, and dark imagery was common(violin girl anyone?) Rocko got away with the word "Hell" and had more intense sexual innuendo than any cartoon I've seen, and Ren and Stimpy was pretty much a gross out fest. But anyway I wouldn't let little kids watch Regular Show
And now why I think its overrated: well people say this show is really funny and original, but to me I've seen this before. To me it looks like a toned down beavis and butthead mixed with Rocko's Modern Life, which might sound cool, but it doesn't really work. I find the characters bland and annoying. I hate it when Mordecai and Rugby yell "oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh" it really ticks me off. Also the animation seems cheap, and the characters look ugly to me. Also the plots seem weak and have tons of plot holes. Prime example sugar rush, in that episode pops eats like ten donuts then gets telported to another dimension, everyone else take one bite of donut and follows him. How come pops had to eat ten to teleport, but everyone else eats just one bite and can teleport? Also this show is treated like a saving grace, but I just don't see it. The show seems kind of bland and unoriginal. Although I will give it credit, its watchable. Everyother modern cartoon make me want to hit myself in head with a hammer. I absolutely HATE Adventure Time, I find Regular Show much more enjoyable. Overall, this is an OK show that highly overrated, I mean 8.6? Come on! Rocko, courage and Ren and stimpy all have lower than 8.6, and their 10000x better than regular show. I would give regular show a 6.0/10, its alright but nothing amazing or 8.6 worthy
