It's Anything but. REGULAR SHOW (known as Regular Show in Space during its eighth season) is an American animated sitcom created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network. It ran from September 6, 2010, to January 16, 2017, having 8 seasons and 261 episodes. The series stars Mordecai (a bluejay), Rigby (a raccoon), their co-workers: Skips (a yeti), Pops (a lollipop-shaped man), Muscle Man, Hi-Five Ghost, and their boss Benson (a gumball machine); all of whom work at a local park as groundskeepers. Mordecai and Rigby spend their days slacking-off and trying to avoid work to entertain themselves by any means which leads to surrealistic, extreme, and supernatural misconduct. Many of Regular Show's characters were loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naïve Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM. The former was one of the winners of the 2005 Nicktoons Film Festival and received international attention after being broadcast on Nicktoons Network.
