Regular Show Series Talkback!

[The Count]

That was a Labyrinth parody? Only caught the last moments of the ep where Ziggy threatens to crush Mordicai if Rigby doesn't hand over Trampy. Then it segwayed into an episode where the guys are writing a new song to replace "Happy Birthday" to win free cake, free cake (you knew I had to do that) due to the baking cartel upping prices on cake around town. Pretty involved episode, tuned out halfway through though. Meh, I'm just not watching stuff on CN with as much devoted regularity anymore.

It was kind of visual references. None of the creatures except for the can of corn talked. But Ziggy was surrounded by very Muppet looking minions.

Mr. Maellard is the biggest troll in this show. Something tells me that he's in on all the crap he puts our main characters through.

While I did enjoy the episode, I was about to write it off until Mordecai was questioning what's happening with his and Rigby's lives. That was a real Wham line that I hope pays off soon enough. The series has always been a coming of age series, but considering that line in the episode and Muscleman's desire to be something more than the, well, muscle of the group it seems that there's going to be a decent ending point for the series coming soon. Maellard has pretty much dropped not so subtle hints that he really doesn't like any of the employees and would gladly fire them all if they didn't sort of take care of Pops for him. I really think something about him closing the park and firing everyone for realz is eminent. Seems that there's an air of Mordecai feeling the end is coming soon and he needs to have a better life plan and hopes Rigby can join him.

All I'm saying is, by the end of the show, there's going to be something BIG that'll go down with Benson. He's stated multiple times that the park is all he has. That's something I really hope to see pay off before the series ends.

It makes me sad to think that both Regular Show and Adventure Time seem to be coming closer to the end. I can't imagine what life would be like without them, it would feel so weird.

They probably didn't get the screw off that UG got that the final episodes produced would be split into 2 seasons and it's called a "renewal."

AT and RS have been on for a really long time and they'll have to end eventually. AT seems like it still has a lot more story potential left because it keeps going back and forth on continuity heavy and one shot episodes. I'd say Regular Show's ending is naturally coming soon. Maybe not next season or a season after, but I really want to see these characters' story arcs come to their conclusions and hope the series ends on a highly fitting note. This has always been a coming of age series to the point where the first season is awkward to revisit. It's hard to remember that the park employees had it in for Mordo and Rigs when they've become brothers in arms so many times. We saw these characters grow up since the show began and that's what made the show special. Not the weird supernatural stuff coming out of mundane events (though that was their signature), but the fact that we've seen a college and high school dropout at a dead end job grow and change. Childish Rigby gets into a relationship he didn't know he wanted. Mordecai going through his young adulthood and realizing he wants to move on. Muscleman going from the stock bully jock character to one of their closest friends all while getting married. Benson going from buzzkill antagonistic boss to sympathetic trainwreck.

While I don't usually call for a show to end, I think that the near future is a great time to wrap things up and show Rigby and Mordecai in their next level of adulthood, all while the other characters find their place as well.

Plus, a spinoff series about Skips would write itself.

Not to mention Pops hanging out with the guys more often.

I want to see more of Pops being independent and that being his character arc. I love how he's been a very take charge character the past few seasons, and I'd say that his ending would have to be running something himself.

Now there really is some huge crap going down with Mr. Maellard and the park employees as he sticks another dome over the park for some more "testing" and sticks a big red button in the center that they're told not to touch. Benson has an internal conflict about this as he wants to break free of blindly following orders, but the park is all he has so he just rolls with it.

Woah. Really powerful episode here I didn't expect. Rigby has made a breakthrough with his verbally and emotionally abusive father. In fact, they actually showed more of how it cuts Rigby. Even to the extent he even implies that he's ruining Eileen's life just by being romantically involved. Rigby standing up to his father is a perfect closure to some of his character arcs.

Benson and Rigby sympathizing with each other in the Lunch Club episode is made all the more powerful. Both fathers are scarring to their sons there.
