Easily. I love how he setup the whole castle on a riverbank at that.

Mordecai's logicing out who is a single lady at the supermarket is pretty cool too.

EDIT: Kind of wish that hi-five ghost never spoke though.

hoooo holy god that was brilliant and I usually dislike anything involving muscle man ("your mom" reminds me of annoying 8th graders [yes, i know that's the joke, I just don't find it funny]).

I'd like Pops to have a romantic interest. Hell, I'd watch an hour special involving a romantic Pops story.

I probably laughed the most when she smashed into the ground and obliterated the environment around her with a "BOOAAAAAAM", and then the what the Knight did after. It was just absurd.

I'm surprised they haven't introduced commercials in these 11 minute shows sooner. Think about it, the point of TV is ad revenue. If you can watch an entire episode in between ad breaks, then that means almost no one watches commercials, which is a bad thing for shows. I'm all for ad breaks in proper places, and the death of 15 minute shows if it keeps them on air longer.

I am guessing they split RS to give a 'good' lead-in into that horrid problem solvers show that premiered after. It went straight from RS to Problem Solvers. That line of thinking worked for my 6 year old; as he forced me to sit and watch that drat thing.

After Adventure time, there was a commercial break before Mad, so I had time to flee. No such time was afforded to me for Problem Solvers.

Naked muscleman in the shower was about 13 types of disturbing.

See, that's sort of how I was thinking of it too, but I don't really remember a mall in that show so it's still not quite to me. Back to the Future makes more sense because it's an '80s thing

Problem Solverz probably wasn't the most terrible thing I've ever seen, but I definitely lost interest and left to wash dishes after about 5 minutes or so.

It's certainly one of the uglier shows I've seen in a long, long time--aggressively and fascinatingly so, like it's actually trying to be a parody of an Adult Swim show.

Yeah, even the bumps (or whatever they're called now) between the commercials and the shows had the characters rising slowly out of flashy-blinky manholes.

I did dig when Mordecai and Rigby came out wearing sunglasses, though ;).

My friend described the guy on the left as a "cracked out looking Michael Cera". She's totally right.

Back on topic, I don't think I laughed as hard in a while as I did when Muscleman and Starla kissed and made up. Watched it again and I was still on the floor.

The writing was amazingly boring and bland, though. For such... interesting(?) visuals, the rest of it is so conventional and boring.

I'm interested in seeing how Gumball is going to work out, though, since it has an eclectic style but in a good way.

These commercial breaks really throw off the flow of the episode. Just when the weird poo poo is going down, BAM! five minutes of commercials. Also, I swear there was only like 3 minutes of episode after they got back from commercial.

Yeah, and it's very clear that they weren't designed with that in mind as the cuts are weirdly timed. They did the same to Adventure Time when Regular Show began. I'm guessing (hoping) it only lasts for another two or three weeks, once they have established that Problem Solverz comes on following Regular Show.

That's crazy. There are ads before the show. There are ads over the credits. There are banner ads that come up and obscure the show. How many more ads do you need? :psyduck:

Actual ads from sponsors pay the bills. If they are in between shows no one will watch them. Giving PS an instant lead in is only 50% of the gains there. I just hate it because for two weeks my DVR has chopped off the ending of the show now. :(

Or Problem Solverz gets dumped. Goddamn is that show an eyesore. Robotomy or whatever that show was tons better. It was like a kid-friendly version of Superjail.

Its not supposed to be for ads but more of a way to get people who watch Regular Show to watch Problem Solverz. Since as it is right now Problem Solverz starts right away after Regular Show ends.

Problem Solverz could be the funniest thing since Monty Python and I still wouldn't watch it. The whole design is an offense to the eyes. It makes Aqua Teen Hunger Force look like a Miyazaki film.

It's not just the eyes but the ears. You have one character screaming until his voice is hoarse, and another whose high-pitched whine makes my ears bleed.
