Lord 2013 -- Regular Show fans, say it with us:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! On July 16, 2013,
your patience will finally pay off as Cartoon Network releases
the much-anticipated Regular Show: The Complete First & Second
Seasons on DVD…and on Blu-ray™. Jam-packed with all 40 11-minute
episodes from the series’ first and second seasons – yes, that’s
440 minutes of your favorite, hilarious episodes! – the release
marks the first time the Emmy® Award-winning animated series
created by J.G. Quintel and produced by Cartoon Network Studios
will be available as a full season set and the show’s first
Blu-ray release. If that’s not enough of a draw, both the DVD
and Blu-ray will also include more than two hours of bonus
features, highlighted by: audio commentary for every single
episode from Quintel and the show’s storyboard artists; the
unaired pilot episode from the series and an animatic for it; a
video of Quintel pitching the series’ first episode, “The Power”
complete with animatic; an interview with Quintel about the
series; and his student short, “The Naïve Man from Lolliland,”
plus so much more. The three-disc DVD release will come with a
suggested retail price of $36.94, while the two-disc Blu-ray
release will be $39.98.
“Regular Show fans have been waiting for a full season set since
our first episodic release, and now, we’re excited to release
not only a ridiculously-loaded DVD release for its first two
seasons, but to also offer it in high-def format on Blu-ray,”
said Erik Resnick, vice president of home entertainment, Cartoon
Network Enterprises. “J.G. and the show team have worked so hard
to create fantastic bonus features – and we hope fans can take
some time to fully enjoy all of them before asking us when
season three will be available.”
Regular Show is a breakout television series featured in the
Monday night comedy block on Cartoon Network, which also
includes Adventure Time. The series stars two best friends and
slacker park groundskeepers, Mordecai and Rigby, who also happen
to be a blue jay and a raccoon. Their attempts to escape their
everyday boredom take them to fantastical extremes, much to the
chagrin of their boss Benson (an anthropomorphic gumball
machine). Other characters in the show include Pops (a
lollipop), Skips (a yeti), Muscle Man (a muscle man) and many
others.
Since its debut on Cartoon Network in September 2010, Regular
Show continues to thrive with ratings results that are anything
but regular. It was the #1-ranked show for all of 2012 on Monday
nights among boys 6-14, boys 6-11 and kids 9-14, according to
Nielsen Media Research data. It is currently in its fourth
season, with new episodes debuting on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT,
and replays throughout the week.
Additionally, the Regular Show consumer products program
continues to grow and create excitement for fans of all ages,
led by a master toyline from Jazwares currently available
exclusively at Toys”R”Us retailers nationwide and full line of
apparel and accessories for both kids and adults available
across specialty and mid-tier retailers nationwide.
Regular Show: The Complete First & Second Seasons joins the
show’s episodic DVD catalog, Regular Show Slack Pack, Regular
Show: The Best DVD In The World.* At This Moment In Time and the
recently released Regular Show: Party Pack. Cartoon Network will
support its release with a marketing campaign that includes
television advertising on Cartoon Network, as well as a
comprehensive online campaign featured on CartoonNetwork.com and
a wide range of other kid-targeted websites.
