Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a Blue Jay named Mordecai (voiced by Quintel) and a raccoon named Rigby (voiced by William Salyers), both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. Their usual attempts to slack off often lead to surreal misadventures that are either over the top or supernatural. While this happens they will interact with the other main characters of the show: Benson (Sam Marin), Pops (Marin), Muscle Man (Marin), Hi-Five Ghost (Quintel), Skips (Mark Hamill) and Margaret (Janie Haddad-Tompkins).[1]

Many of the characters are loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naive Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM.[2] Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed young artists to create pilots with no notes to possibly be optioned as a show. The project was green-lit and it officially premiered on September 6, 2010. The show is inspired by various British television series and video games. Episodes are produced by the method of storyboarding and hand-drawn animation, which makes the process of creating an episode take roughly nine months. Quintel recruited several indie comic book artists to compose the staff of the show, as their style matched close to what he desired for the series. The show's music is a combination of original music, composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, and licensed songs.

Most episodes of the series are about 11 minutes in duration; pairs of episodes are often telecast to fill a half-hour time slot. The series has completed four seasons (this last one being premiered on October 1, 2012), with the fith still in production, and has aired 116 episodes. Since it's premiere Regular Show has been a ratings success for Cartoon Network. As of May 2013, the show has been seen by approximately 2 to 2.5 million viewers each week. The series has received positive reviews from critics and has developed a following of teens and adults. Regular Show has been nominated for various awards including two Annie Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards, one of which it won for the episode "Eggscellent" (season 3, episode 17).


Premise

The series revolves around the daily life of two 23-year-old friends,[3] Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon, as they work as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their boss Benson, a gumball machine, and their coworker Skips, a yeti, but to the delight of their manager Pops, a man with a lollipop for a head. Other coworkers include Muscle Man (an overweight green man) and Hi-Five Ghost (a ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head) and the intern Thomas (a goat).[4] Mordecai often visits a local coffehouse to talk to the waitress, Margaret (a robin), who he has a crush on.

Creation

J. G. Quintel, creator of the show and voice of Mordecai, based the show off his student films produced at CalArts

Regular Show largely grew out of creator J. G. Quintel's own life and experiences in college. Quintel attended the California Institute of the Arts, and many of the characters on Regular Show are furthermore based on the characters developed for his student films: The Naïve Man from Lolliland (2005) and 2 in the AM PM (2006). Both originated as part of a game called "48-hour films", in which students put words into a hat, pull one word out at midnight and spend a weekend rushing to come up with a film. He attended college with Thurop Van Orman and Pendleton Ward, who would both go on to work at Cartoon Network Studios with Quintel, creating The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Adventure Time, respectively. Quintel concurrently worked on Camp Lazlo and Flapjack while completing his degree, and was later offered to pitch for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute, a planned project showcase shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing,[5] while serving as the creative director for Flapjack.[6]

Quintel went back to the characters from his films and put them together with newer characters to create a pilot.[6] Quintel desired a visual pitch rather than verbal, believing the idea would make very little sense otherwise. He storyboarded the idea for the pilot, and Craig McCracken and Rob Renzetti liked his presentation.[7] Eventually, Regular Show would become one of two series that were green-lit from the project, which was eventually scrapped and never premiered on television.[8] The character of Mordecai embodies Quintel during his college years, specifically at CalArts: "That's that time when you're hanging out with your friends and getting into stupid situations, but you're also taking it seriously enough."[1] The character of Rigby developed randomly when Quintel drew a raccoon hula-hooping on a Post-It. He liked the design and developed the character of Rigby to be a jerk character who is far more irresponsible than his companion.[9]

While preparing for the beginning of the show, Quintel looked for young, indie comic artists to compose the show's storyboard artists, feeling that the style would match closer to that of Regular Show. Quintel looked through blogs and convention panels for the "total package", which he explained as having the ability to both write and draw, something that many independent comic book artists possess, as they often write and draw their comics solely by themselves. In addition, Quintel reached back to CalArts and attended many "open shows" - an eight-hour festival of student animation. Teams of storyboard artists, therefore, can include those who were contacted through their work in comics or those hired with a background in animation.[6] The style and sensibility of the show was a bit difficult to work with in the beginning, as they struggled to create a natural, sitcom-like sound for the series.[7]

Inspiration

Regular Show was inspired by shows like The Simpsons and Beavis and Butt-head, and Quintel credited the stylistic elements of Joe Murray's Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo as working their way into his style.[7] Video games Quintel played as a child, such as Street Fighter, Shadowrun and ToeJam & Earl, inspired the series, as did a large degree of British television. Quintel's interest in British television was spawned by his roommate at CalArts, who was British and introduced him to many shows he had never heard of, such as The League of Gentlemen, The IT Crowd, and The Office. The Mighty Boosh was, in particular, very influential to Quintel, whose sensibilities began to switch after watching them and would later influence the humor in Regular Show.[6]

Production

Writing

The process of writing a script for Regular Show begins with the staff writers finding an idea that they find enjoyable, to generate these ideas the staff plays different types of "writers games" for inspiration.[10] Once an idea approved the premise of the episode is then written and this is passed to the storyboard artists, who create the dialogue.[10] The writers strive to make the conversations feel natural and relatable to the audience, to accomplish this they use examples from their own experiences. The script is then shown to the network executives, who give notes on what should be added or changed from the episode (In most cases they ask the staff to set the language at a tone for kids).[10]

The plot generally begins with a basic and simple problem that the characters must overcome, while the protagonists try to succeed in their task a magical, supernatural or strange element appears and complicates the initial simple problem.[10] The staff decided to follow this structure of adding magical elements into the story so that they could take advantage of the animation, although they do maintain those factors in relation the the central plot of the episode.[10]

The series is rated TV-PG-V.[10] Cartoon Network told Quintel early on that they wanted to "age it up from the TV-Y7 stuff we'd been doing in the past." This direction led the crew to push things as far as possible in said rating. Thanks to this the show's humor is often adult oriented with innuendos, drug and alcohol references, amongst other things. One of the reasons the staff decided to use adult humor is because they wanted to cater for both the younger and adult audiences at the same time. The writers will generally make these jokes more subtle. The show also makes use of sub-textual adult humor which they achieve with music. One of the program's storyboard artist, Calvin Wong, has stated that he enjoys the limitations set by writing for the show since the adult oriented jokes that are approved are more satisfying.[9]

The plots of the episodes are influenced by the writers and Quintel's personal experience, such as performing prank calls or accepting an eating challenge from a restaurant. The show makes use of references from the 1980s, such as using music and electronics from that era (cellphones, video games), these is because many factors from the decade left a positive impact on Quintel.[10] The show also makes references to modern social trends such as viral internet videos.

Voice cast

The voice acting of the series is relatively low-key, and the intention was to make the majority of the characters sound natural and conversational.[1] Quintel desired to make the show listenable and given contrast to most other cartoons, which often take a zany route and are difficult for adults to listen. The main cast consists of voice acting veterans Mark Hamill (who portrays Skips) and Roger Craig Smith (who plays Thomas). In addition, William Salyers plays the voice of Rigby, Janie Haddad portrays Margaret and Quintel's former CalArts classmate Sam Marin voices Benson, Pops and Muscle Man.[1] Quintel himself portrays Mordecai and Hi-Five Ghost.[1] Members of the staff have also voiced several characters throughout the series, these include: Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Andress Salaff and Matt Price. The Regular Show cast records their lines together in group recordings as opposed to different recording sessions with each voice actor. This is to record more natural sounding dialogue among the characters. The series regularly employs guest voice actors and actresses for recurring characters, these guests include Steve Blum, Courtenay Taylor, David Ogden Stiers and Robin Atkin Downes.

Animation

Each episode of Regular Show typically takes about nine months to complete. Quintel and his team of about 35 develop each episode at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California.[11][12] The script is ilustrated in rough hand-drawn images, known as storyboards.[13] The storyboard is then animated and is mixed with the corresponding dialogue to create the animatic, which is then sent to be approved by the network. The show's artists put together the assets (backgrounds, character designs, props) to send to Saerom Animation in South Korea, where the more challenging aspects of the episode are performed. When finished the episode is sent back to California. Music and sound effects are created and the final episode is mixed and completed. The process allows for dozens of episodes to be worked on at different stages of production.

Although more modern animation has switched to tablet/screen hybrids such as the Cintiq, Regular Show has been described as "far more low-fi", and is animated traditionally by hand using digital ink and paint. Although Cintiqs were optioned to be used for the program, Quintel felt more comfortable working on paper, feeling it to be more organic and more representative of each artist's individual style. Board artist Calvin Wong has described "the tools of the trade as being pencils, pens, white out and occasionally light boxes and electric erasers."[6]

Music

Musician, Mark Mothersbaugh, works as the main composer of the show.

In the show's opening there is no set theme song as Regular Show doesn't posses one, instead, at the beginning of each episode a blurred sound can be heard followed by the ticking of a clock, which is heard over the title cards (which list the creator of the series, the episode name, the storyboard artist who worked on the episode and the creative director. The main composer of the series is one of the founding members of the band Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh. As Quintel was developing the pilot he considered asking Mothersbaugh to create the music for the show so the episode's animatic was sent to to him along with a request for him to join the staff and crew.

Regular Show will occasionally make use of licensed songs. The usage of these began with Quintel and the staff writers started recording the animatics with copyrighted songs for the montage scenes. The network executives watched the animatic and asked the crew if the wanted to use some of the songs for the actual episodes.[1] Quintel has stated that which songs appear on the show depends on if they fit well with the scene, if they sound good and if they are affordable, he also stated that one of the reasons he enjoys using the songs in the episodes is that it might make an adult viewer remember it or make a younger viewer appreciate older music (Most of the music that is used is generally from the 1980s).[1] Some of the songs that have been used include "You're the Best Around", "Mississippi Queen", among others.[1]

The show also produces their own original songs which are used on the episodes. These will generally be composed by Mothersbaugh and written by one of the staff's storyboard artists.[1] An example of this would be the song "Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)" which was penned by the staff member Sean Szeles, said song appeared in the episode "This Is My Jam" (season 2, episode 13).[1]

Episodes

Most episodes of Regular Show last 11 minutes in duration; episodes are usually paired together to fill a half-hour program time slot. The series has completed four seasons and has aired 116 episodes throughout said seasons. The first season began on September 6, 2010, with the episode "The Power" and ended on November 22, 2010, with "Mordecai and the Rigbys".[14] The second season began on November 29, 2010, with "Ello Gov'nor" and ended on August 1, 2011, with "Karaoke Video".[15] The third season premiered on September 19, 2011, with the episode "Stick Hockey" and concluded on September 3, 2012, with "Bad Kiss".[16] The fourth season premiered on October 1, 2012, with the 30-minute episode "Exit 9B" and concluded on August 12, 2013 with "Steak Me Amadeus".[17] The fifth season is currently in production.[18]

Reception

Critical reception

"What I like best about Regular Show is that in the midst of a gaggle of memorable regular characters, zany recurring minor characters and a fantastical animation style, it still manages to create motifs for its condensed themes."

Kevin McFarland, The A.V Club

Regular Show has generally recived postive reviews from critics. A reviewer from IGN, R.L. Shaffer, called the show zany, absurd, bizarre and hilarious. He praised the show's writing, saying that it included "snappy dialogue, odd characters and lever stories - each more irrelevant than the last - Regular Show never ceases to tickle the funny bone. He concluded his opinion of the show by affirming that the show is "a pretty awesome pice of refreshing of-the-wall comedy" and that it's "humorously animated, brazenly silly and almost always funny".

DVD Talk's Neil Lumbrad described the show as "offbeat sense of humor with a lot of randomness that makes it's title both peculiar and hilarious" and compared it to the original Looney Tunes shorts and other "classic" cartoons that Cartoon Network has produced (in this case he was referring to The Powerpuff Girls", "Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo). He complimented the show's comedy style by writing that the network has found "animated gold with Regular Show, which is too offbeat and unique to be called regular" and that it's "comedic animated gem worthy of being discovered for years to come. Lumbrad ended his review by recommending the show and calling it "one truly awesome cartoon with a lot of good humor to enjoy.

The A.V Club's critic, Alasdair Wilkins, stated that compared to Cartoon Network's other animated comedy, Adventure Time, he doesn't consider the series to be funny, instead describing it as "more pleasingly weird". He has noted that the plots of the episodes can occasionally be too complex to explore completely in the show's standard 11 minute per episode format, and has also lamented that the usual story setup can make some storys feel structurally the same as others. Wilkins has noted that he considers that the show is at it's best when it focuses on the jokes, the character moments and inventive was to use animation. Kevin McFarland, also of The A.V Club, has stated thay he considers the series a thrill to watch; he complemented the the animation style, the characters and the use of motifs. [25]
