List of episodes

The second season of American animated television series Regular Show, created by J. G. Quintel, originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States. Quintel created the series' pilot using characters from his comedy shorts for the canceled anthology series The Cartoonstitute. He developed Regular Show from his own experiences in college. Simultaneously, several of its main characters originated from his animated shorts 2 in the AM PM and The Naïve Man from Lolliland. Following its first season's success, Regular Show was renewed for a second season in 2009. The season ran from November 29, 2010, to August 1, 2011.

Regular Show's second season was storyboarded and written by Quintel, Sean Szeles, Shion Takeuchi, Benton Connor, Calvin Wong, Paul Scarlata, Kat Morris, Mike Roth, John Infantino, Minty Lewis, Henry Yu, and Dennis Messmer. For this season, the writers were Quintel, Roth, Infantino, Michele Cavin, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor while being produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

Development

Concept

Two 23-year-old friends,[1] a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby, are employed as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their boss Benson and their coworker Skips, but the delight of Pops. Their other coworkers, Muscle Man (an overweight green man) and Hi-Five Ghost (a ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head) serve as their rivals.

Production

Many of the characters are loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naive Man From Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM. Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed artists to create pilots with no notes to be optioned as a show possibly. After being green-lit, Quintel recruited several indie comic book artists to compose the show's staff, as their style matched close to what he desired for the series. The season was storyboarded and written by Quintel, Sean Szeles, Shion Takeuchi, Benton Connor, Calvin Wong, Paul Scarlata, Kat Morris, Mike Roth, John Infantino, Minty Lewis, Henry Yu, and Dennis Messmer. For this season, the writers were Quintel, Roth, Infantino, Michele Cavin, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor while being produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

The second season of Regular Show was produced between August 2010 to November 2010. It utilizes double entendres and mild language; Quintel stated that, although the network wanted to step up from the more child-oriented fare, some restrictions came with this switch. [citation needed]
