Regular
Show
is a pretty funny Cartoon Network animated show with creativity and
off beat humor that's fun for kids and adults. The animation is
nothing spectacular, much akin to an average animated show that you
would see on Nickelodeon in the 1990s (back when they were actually
cool). It's not quite as off the wall or innovative as Adventure
Time
but offers up some good humor that either hits or misses. If you are
a fan of easy to watch cartoon programming that isn't very heavy then
this may be a good show for you to check out! It reminded me of Ren
and Stimpy
but without the gross out humor and definitely draws inspiration from
Rocco's
Modern Life
with crafting a bizarre alternate reality as random animals are
characters in adult-like roles (and clothes).
This
edition is all about Rigby who is a 23-year-old sassy raccoon that
you learn to both love and hate. Rigby is very arrogant, impulsive,
impatient and immature at all times, giving him the personality of a
child. He is pretty good at listening to his gut (as seen in the
first episode Bank
Shot)
and has a bit of brotherly envy for Don (who is the taller, more
handsome Raccoon). All of the supporting characters in the show are
random animals and creatures are all creatively portrayed. The
soundtrack is frantic and almost video-game like and all in all the
show could best be described as offbeat, making it perfect for Adult
Swim
fans.

The
sound and picture on the disc are standard for DVD and could
definitely benefit to a Blu-ray release. Some of the lines around
the characters in high definition have almost a white halo - style
effect that Blu-ray seems to take away and make the colors more
clear. At any rate, the image is standard definition anamorphic 16.9
(1.85:1 television broadcast) and the sound is a lossy Dolby Digital
2.0 Stereo track. English SDH is also on the disc for the deaf and
hard of hearing.
Total
running time for all of the episodes on the disc is 176 minutes.
There
are no additional extras on the disc.
