Regular Show (2010)

Regular Show manages to be both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely insightful. the 80s and 90s nostalgia gives the show a comedic engine that never gets old. J.G. Quintel understood that smart humour and broad comedy can coexist.

Regular Show started strong and only improved. By season two, J.G. Quintel had found a confidence that made the show feel inevitable. Limousine Lunchtime is one of the finest episodes in animated television history.

More people should watch Regular Show. It never got the cultural attention it deserved while it was airing. the 80s and 90s nostalgia is genuinely brilliant and the the absurd escalation of everyday problems exploration is more sophisticated than most prestige live-action drama.

I watched Regular Show as a kid and rewatched it as an adult. It's even better the second time. the absurdist escalation formula is only apparent when you're older. Benson remains one of the great animated characters.

Regular Show is one of those shows you can't believe was made for children. The themes of the absurd escalation of everyday problems are handled with more depth than most adult dramas. J.G. Quintel's vision is unmistakable.

Regular Show has a few weak episodes scattered through its run but the high points more than compensate. Benson's storyline is beautifully handled. J.G. Quintel had a rare clarity of vision for the whole series.

I grew up with Regular Show and now I'm watching it with my own children. They love it as much as I did. the surprisingly emotional series finale is just as effective the twentieth time. True classics work across generations.

I did not expect Regular Show to make me cry but here we are. Exit 9B hit me completely off guard. Rigby is written with such care that the emotional moments land with full weight.

Regular Show shows its age in places but the core of what made it special remains. the surprisingly emotional series finale is still funny and Benson is still endearing. Some references land flat now but the heart is intact.

You can watch Regular Show for pure entertainment or for something more meaningful. Either way you win. J.G. Quintel's ability to layer complexity into seemingly simple stories is remarkable. the surprisingly emotional series finale is evidence of a master.
