00:08Regular show was peak entertainment when I was growing up every 2010s.
00:12Not everyone was a fan of its wacky, nonsensical storytelling,
00:15but for some reason, it always had me coming back every week.
00:20I mean, who wouldn't want to see Mordecai and Rigby summon Satan
00:24to get out of breaking the leaves and somehow being allowed to keep her jobs?
00:30When Regular Show ended in 2017, people were overwhelmingly satisfied with how it ended.
00:36After Pops sacrifices himself to save a park from his evil brother Anti-Pops,
00:41the final scene takes place 25 years later with the remaining cast living better and successful lives.
00:49So seeing as how the original series ended on a very strong note,
00:53did it really make sense to reboot it?
00:56Is there room for more episodes?
00:59Well, according to series creator J.G. Quintel, there is room for new stories,
01:04so in 2024, it has been announced that a new Regular Show series would be developed.
01:11Known as Regular Show of the Lost Tapes,
01:14this new series takes place before the events of the original show's eighth season.
01:19The first half of the first episode has Pops looking for a replacement for his damaged memory tape.
01:25when he discovers a box of additional memories, hence the subtitle, The Lost Tapes.
01:30I like how the first 11-minute segment serves as a bit of a segue between the events after the
01:37finale of the original with Pops in the afterlife
01:39and the events of a new show which take place before the original's finale.
01:46I also like how these new episodes are updated to make fun of concepts that became popular after 2017,
01:54while still keeping Regular Show's charm intact.
01:57This week, there have been episodes where they could turn concepts,
02:01as simple as fusion dining and boba tea,
02:05into a surreal but exciting plotline
02:08that would make my middle school brain very happy.
02:12One of the top criticisms against this new series
02:15is that it's very identical to the original series,
02:18but personally,
02:19it's what makes this show one of the best reboots.
02:22The original formula worked,
02:24why fix it?
02:25The story is just as absurd and surreal as the original series,
02:29and the humor is just the same.
02:31It's better for a reboot to continue the formula that worked well in the original
02:36than to stray away from the formula and put the reputation of a franchise at risk.
02:42And besides,
02:43the series premiered just this week,
02:46and this is the first Regular Show series in almost a decade.
02:50With J.G. Quintel and its original crew returning,
02:54the show is in very good hands,
02:56and I can't wait to see what new ideas they come up with nearly 10 years later.
03:01What do you think of Regular Show Bloss Tapes?
03:03Do you think it's a worthy continuation of Regular Show?
03:06Or do you think it falls a bit short?
