Regular Show TV Series, the Complete 1st & 2nd Season now on Blu-ray!
Two groundskeepers, Mordecai (a 6-foot tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon) are best friends who spend their days trying to entertain to entertain themselves by any means necessary, much to the displeasure of Benson (their boss – a gumball machine) and to the delight of Pops (an older, lollipop-headed gentleman).
Their everyday pursuits often lead to things spiraling out of control and into the surreal: they open portals to other dimensions, summon demons via an 80s arcade game, and accidentally use choreographed dance moves to send co-workers to the moon. All in a typical days work on ‘Regular Show’.
Includes 36 episodes. Voice cast includes Mark Hamill, Sam Marin and creator J.G. Quintel.

Regular Show Reviews
“quirky animated series from creator J.G. Quintel that, along with Adventure Time, [puts] the network back on the map – the series follows the adventures and misadventures of two best friends and park groundskeepers Mordecai, a blue jay and Rigby, a raccoon. The pair’s only motivation seems to be their relentless pursuit of avoiding work at all costs, so much so that it often leads to extreme and fantastical outcomes…Cartoon Network continues the trend of surreal and inventive animation with a wry and at times cynical sense of humor..an enjoyable and fun series” blu-raydefinition.com
“Regular Show is one of Cartoon Network's most zany and original animated series in years. It's something that harkens back to the Cartoon-Cartoon days of the network, and the greatest years the network had with shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo. The comedy style seems to be a bit of a blend between Adult Swim productions (with humor that seems aimed at a slightly older audience) and traditional Cartoon Network shows. This is a great series for audiences of all age, but it will be most enjoyed by twenty to thirty-something people who still love cartoons.” DVD Talk
“..Imagine my surprise when I pop in this DVD and find out I’ve been missing out on what might possibly be one of the funniest shows currently airing on Cartoon Network. The humor is surprisingly adult and hilarious and the characters are odd enough to be likeable as well as humorous simply due to their appearance. The series follows two animal friends who work at a park and continually screw up the jobs they are expected to perform and complete. The animation is fun, the goofy adventures amusing and is overall a surprisingly well done series.” screen-connections.com
“..It is created by J.G. Quintel (“The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack”, “Camp Lazlo”), who also voices the lead character Mordecai on the show. This guy is a complete genius. This show is not only funny, it is also ridiculously clever and sharp. There is not one episode that passes that I am not dying laughing at some point…If you are a fan of other Cartoon Network shows like “Adventure Time”, I highly recommend this series.” mediamikes.com
