The keepcase slides vertically into a very cool and uniquely textured cardboard slipcase that makes the set appear to be a family photo album. See the "Easter Egg" portion of this review for more details. Sadly, my reviewing copy was not one of those. It hasn't been announced yet, but 1,000 of these sets feature a hand-stamped, numbered and signed 'Regular Show' collector's card. Both discs are housed in a standard blue two-disc Elite keepcase along with a slip that features an Ultraviolet code for both seasons. The 12-episode first season and the majority of the special features appear on disc one, the 28-episode second season and a few other special features on disc 2. placed this two-season set on two BD-50s. After four seasons and 112 episodes, 40 of which are included in this Blu-ray set, there hasn't been a bad episode to date. If the comedy of 'Regular Show' starts to speak to you as much as it does to me, then you'll immediately want to own this Blu-ray set. Watch the first season before making up your mind. Each episode is around 10-minutes-long and it takes a few episodes to get accustomed to the unique tone and sense of humor. In case it's not your proverbial cup of tea, I recommend watching the first season on Netflix first. If you haven't seen 'Regular Show,' then I strongly encourage you to check it out. Even though not every episode is worthy of a five-star rating, they never fall below three-and-a-half stars. They come face to face with deadly demons, evil monsters, killer cassette tapes, their future selves, alien babies and many other unexpected beings. Mordecai and Rigby are often trapped in alternate dimensions and have to find ways to return to their own. Many of their stories are filled with pop culture references from those decades. It's obvious that the creator and writers of 'Regular Show' are products of the '80s and '90s. His tagline is always uttered by telling Mordecai and Rigby to do a specific task, followed by exclaiming, "… or you're fired!"Īs strange as these characters may sound, the scenarios that they end up in are even more odd. Functioning as the boss of the crew, Benson is always on Mordecai and Rigby's case for screwing around. A large white immortal yeti with the ability to solve almost any problem, Skips' only means of walking is by skipping – hence the name "Skips."Īnd the final of the park's workers is Benson, a grumpy gumball machine with a temper. His character is not only the strangest, but he's shrouded in mystery. Skips is another park caretaker who lives on the grounds, but his residence is a small bungalow. The two of them live in Muscle Man's rundown trailer on park grounds. His sidekick is Hi Five Ghost, a literal ghost (a la Pac Man ghosts) with a hand on the top of his head that's always ready to give a high-five. Muscle Man is an overweight and testosterone-filled greenish-gray alpha male human who tends to squeal (and appears to look) like a pig. Pops is a product of nepotism, as his father owns the park. He's a naïve and disillusioned man who owns a classic convertible that has the ability to fly and uses lollipops as currency. Pops is a six-foot-tall old humanoid lollipop man with a top hat and a strange, high-pitched voice. They live on park grounds in a two-story house with one other co-worker – Pops – which takes us to the awesome secondary characters. The duo work as caretakers of a large park in big city, but spend more time screwing around than actually working. Mordecai is a blue jay, Rigby is a brown raccoon. Our two leads are best friends Mordecai and Rigby. At first, the strange physical forms of the characters threw me off, but if you can learn to just go with it, you'll find them absolutely hilarious. My feelings on the series can be easily summed in one of the character's catch phrases: " Good show! Jolly good show!" Before I knew it, my cable box was full of HD 'Regular Show' – and I couldn't have been more happy. When I went home that night, before writing a single word of the review for the movie that I had just screened, I turned on the television, searched Comcast for 'Regular Show' and set the DVR to record every single episode. The laughs that it conjured in two short minutes brought tears to my eyes. Going to so many screenings, I typically tune out the pre-show and chat with guests and/or other critics – but when they played a 'Regular Show' sizzle reel, my attention was immediately caught. 'Regular Show' first caught my attention when I attended a press screening at a Cinemark theater that played their "First Look" programming while waiting for the movie to start.
