Regular Show is an animated comedy that aired on Cartoon Network. Regular Show follows two friends Mordecai (a six-foot blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon) who are both employeed as groundskeepers at the local park. However their regular attempts to slack off turn into surreal, extreme, and sometimes supernatural misadventures.
Most of the characters on the show are loosely based on two short films J.G. Quintel made in college. Both films are titled 2 in the AM PM and The Naive Man from Lolliland. Quintel had then pitched the show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed young artists to create pilots with no notes. Since the premiere, it became a ratings success for Cartoon Network.
As of May 2013, the show was watched by over 2 to 2.5 million viewers every week, received positive reviews from critics and developed a following for teenagers and adults. This led to being nominated for several awards, including two Annie Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.
