I had no idea that today was the anniversary until creator JG Quintel posted it on his Twitter feed. Regular Show was one of the funniest things Cartoon Network had made in a while; something focused on the plight of Millenials being underemployed because there never was any success doing it before with Generation X (see Mission Hill). The first time I saw it was on the break room TV at work. I was like, OK, there’s a bluejay and a raccoon drinking coffee, trying to impress red bird waitress. That was a good joke. Well, I need to get back to work and see if I can watch a full episode another time.
Regular Show rarely disappointed and I’m glad Cartoon Network let it run until there was a good point for the story to wrap up. Now I can stream the whole thing without annoying commercials on HBO Max.
Quintel’s new yet delayed effort is on HBO Max too. Close Enough. Sadly, only JG’s voice returned with this cast. Maybe “Rigby,” Mark Hamill and “Eileen” will show up in a second season if AT&T deems it so. I’ve gotten through about half of the run. I hope to have a review in the next couple weeks.
