I could not disagree more with the prior review. I find this show to be intelligent, pointed and (most importantly) hilarious. It pushes the bounds of traditional comedy, taking mundane situations and turning them into surreal adventures that actually challenge the notions of traditional story telling. The animation is crisp and playful with a certain joy that is hard to describe. And the odd universe it creates is one I am dying to live in. While the two main characters and their closest associates are all creatures/animals of various sorts, the rest of the world is recognizably human. This adds a mood of "outsider" to the adventures that makes them all the more clearly satire and farce.
It is, I will agree, pretty raw stuff. There are jokes about sex and drinking and on and on. Some of the imagery is damn scary. So, okay, it isn't for kids. So what? Why should it be?

One of Cartoon Network's more creative endeavors, Regular Show is anything but. Using 80s soundtracking and trippy segments, RS captures some great moments. Definitely not for little ones. Teens will love it and adults will love it more.
Regular show is a show about a blue jay and a raccoon. The show is weird, funny, and sometimes one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. The only this holding this show back from a 10/10 is that some of the laters seasons episodes can get quite unfunny and the plot can get a little bad. The Halloween episodes and the Christmas ones are some of the best!
This show NEEDS to come back, ended too soon! The creator has another series in the works, but that's been for awhile now. What we really want is Regular Show back on the air, maybe change the location or something, but bring it back!
Regular Show is a fitting title for a program that takes ordinary chores, such as preparing hot dogs, setting up chairs or cleaning a rain gutter and exaggerating the consequences of not performing said chores correctly. The main characters are a couple of slackers in their twenties who live only for the moment, even if that means getting fired. They constantly get into trouble due to their irresponsibility, but always manage to end up on top through some hilarious twist.

Regular Show is rated PG, not G, not Y7. Every time I read a negative review for this show, someone is whining about how Cartoon Network should feel ashamed for making such a vulgar children's program. Newsflash, just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it's for kids. Family Guy has already proved that. There is a warning ahead of time that underage viewers require parental guidance, PG. Personally, I'd say it's about as raunchy as Ren and Stimpy or Rocko's Modern Life and Rocko was very, very raunchy, hence the deletion of certain scenes during re-runs. And who can forget Chokey Chicken, hm? If you're a grown up, give it a chance. If you're a grown up with kids who wanna watch it, consider their age and go from there. And if you do end up loving this show, you'll be telling "my mom" jokes in no time.
Can I get an "OOOOHH!" from everybody else who is addicted to this show? And remember to raise your right arm while you do it.
