Regular Show is a super fun animated TV show that won an Emmy Award! It was created by a talented person named J.G. Quintel. The show first aired on September 6, 2010, and its final episode was on December 29, 2017. The last season was even called Regular Show in Space, which sounds pretty cool!

The series is all about two best friends, Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai is a 23-year-old blue jay, and Rigby is a 23-year-old brown raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a park, and their adventures are anything but regular!

Regular Show is generally rated TV-PG, which means it's usually fine for kids with some parental guidance. A few episodes were rated TV-Y7-FV, meaning they were for kids aged 7 and up with fantasy violence. The show was made for viewers aged 10 to 18. It sometimes had mild language and topics that were more for teens.

In 2012, Regular Show won a big award called an Emmy for "Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program." It was also nominated for the same award in 2011, showing how popular and well-made it was!

What's the Show About?

The story of Regular Show follows the daily lives of Mordecai, the blue jay, and Rigby, the raccoon. They are best friends who work as groundskeepers at a local park. Their boss, Benson, is a gumball machine who often gets angry because Mordecai and Rigby are always finding ways to avoid work.

Even though they are supposed to be working, Mordecai and Rigby often get into crazy, surreal, and sometimes magical adventures. These adventures usually start from something simple, like trying to get a video game or avoiding a chore. They often need help from their friends and co-workers to solve the wild problems they create.
