I love that the second Pops mentioned his car's "special gears" I knew the car would fly.

Also I need Mordecai's confident face for an avatar so bad.

oF ME GETTING HURT,


That... wasn't the best episode, to be honest. I kind of like that Margaret and Eileen have reached the point where they can support a plot like this, but the plot itself felt really conventional - ironically, like a regular show! Even the few minutes of flying around in flying cars wasn't very interesting and felt like a token concession to the show's formula.

On the one hand I really did enjoy the resolution and was kind of glad that they could even do a resolution like that now, but on the other it was oddly predictable, so I guess I just don't know about this episode.

I've been slowly warming up to this show. There seem to be a lot of George Costanza/Larry David type badly-thought-out ideas that start off each episode

Going through the entire series as they play on CN. Does every single episode have something supernatural/outlandish happen?

Also, I immensely enjoyed the Zombocalypse episode because the moment the video store guy mentioned "foreign bootleg with extra footage" I knew which movie they were joking about.

Typically, yes. Some are less supernatural than others though.

Evil Dead 2 back in the days of VHS. For a long time only the Japanese VHS release had the alternate unhappy ending and getting your hands on a bootleg copy of it was sort of a big deal for cult film nerds back then. It was the first time I learned that international releases might have different cuts of a movie.

I didn't know there was alternate cuts of that movie! I remember Army of Darkness having an alternate ending and stuff. I am intrigued!

Edit: Googling makes me think you meant Army of Darkness instead of Evil Dead 2. :(

Finally Happening! A DVD set is coming out!

While it is not a complete season 1 or 2, it is a start! It is coming out on April 3, 2012, and is called 'Regular Show- Slack Pack'. Here's the link to the info (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Regular-Slack-Pack/16302).

Regular Show - The First 2 Seasons are Represented on DVD in the 'Slack Pack'

12 episodes come to stores during the first week of April

Cartoon Network Redefines "Regular" by debuting its hit animated comedy series Regular Show on DVD with the Launch of Regular Show Slack Pack. The Emmy nominated hit comedy (Outstanding Animated Program) has been part of the popular Monday night line up on Cartoon Network along with the hit show Adventure Time. Regular Show features Mordecai and Rigby, two groundskeepers at a park whose attempts to escape their everyday boredom take them to fantastical extremes. The job is so deadly dull that the two friends will do anything they can to avoid it. Regular Show Slack pack features 12 episodes from seasons 1 and 2.

The Cartoon Network has announced that the Regular Show - Slack Pack DVD is coming to stores on April 3rd. This single-disc title running 143 minutes has 12 episodes:

The Power
Just Set Up The Chairs
Death Punchies
Grilled Cheese Deluxe
Mordecai And The Rigby's
Rage Against The TV
This is My Jam
The Night Owl
Over The Top
Prank Callers
Brain Eraser
A Bunch Of Baby Ducks

Also included is a Rah-ha Ring Tone, and it's all priced at $14.97 SRP.

At amazon.com right now, it is priced much lower (like ten bucks and change). Go forth and order, and maybe a true season set could be in our future!

I hate it. I don't want a random grab-bag of episodes; I have that on my DVR. Give me full seasons, in an orderly fashion, or nothing at all.

CN does this. They did it with Adventure Time, and that's going to get the season releases still. They're just getting what money they can now while they put stuff together. Regular Show's looking to be successful enough to get the same treatment, eventually. Then again, I'm still waiting on a decent Flapjack release. :sigh:

Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends only has seasons 1 and 2. I don't know if there's some legal thing keeping it from being released, but that's something I've been wanting for a while. Just a quick look at Wikipedia shows me it won seven emmy's. C'mon! It's award winning!

I'd buy this show and that one, for sure though. They're both lots of fun.

I think it's because CN/Time-Warner just expect parents to buy these as babysitters. Ignore adult animation fans and parents who actually enjoy the same shows as their kids, they're all chomos and perverts. Their money is tainted.

Yet somehow Johnny Test has full season releases. Probably because the show is so ugly they can compress the poo poo out of the video and not lose a lot of detail.

So I'm going through the episodes as they get recorded on my DVR. So far the funniest is either the Basketball episode or Stick Hockey.

I don't know how well received iTunes is around here, but you can buy all available episodes (organized by season) for about $43 through the iTunes store, as well as get the rest of this season's episodes for free. They're decent quality and the value is there - you can buy all 16 episodes from the first season for $10 instead of buying a DVD of eight random episodes for $10~15. There is one caveat though: episodes are released in two-episode blocks (meaning that there's a 22-minute "episode" that contains two separate episodes of the show), so you can't freely pick between all the episodes. They also get released every two episodes instead of every one so that does delay episodes a bit, but it hasn't bothered me too much and may work for you as well.

Does iTunes keep an archive of this stuff so I can make a decision to buy all the complete season later or something? I'm guessing Flapjack isn't on there. I don't have iTunes installed.

Yes it does, it's all tied one account, unfortunately they don't offer Regular Show in HD, but all three seasons of Flapjack are on there, also not in HD. :(

I haven't noticed so much; the quality of the episodes are great even in so-called SD. They look great when I play them on my computer or my iPhone - same for Adventure Time. I can't say the same for Flapjack though, since I haven't seen any episodes that they have on iTunes.

One thing you should be aware of - if you don't know already - is to buy the episodes per SEASON (on the top of the window) instead of per EPISODE (listed in the body of the window). The single-episode price is marked up ridiculously high (around 150%~200%), so you'll end up spending a whole lot more than you normally would.
