Today, we look at when (or if) you folks believe that Regular Show “jumped the shark.”
This is “Just Can’t Jump It,” a feature where we examine shows that launched in 2006 or later and whether they “jumped the shark.” Jumped the shark means that the show had a specific point in time where, in retrospect, you realize that show was going downhill from there. Not every show DOES jump the shark. Some shows just remain good all the way through. And some shows are terrible all the way through. What we’re looking for are moments where a show that you otherwise enjoyed hit a point where it took a noticeable nose dive after that time and if so, what moment was that?
Regular Show was a long-running animated series about Mordechai and Rigby (an anthropomorphic blue jay and squirrel) who both worked at a park together and their attempts to avoid doing work lead to sometimes very bizarre results.
So first…DID IT JUMP THE SHARK? I don’t think it did.
WHEN DID IT JUMP THE SHARK While I don’t think that it did, I know that a number of fans think it jumped the shark with its literally out of this world final season. Let me know if you agree!
Let me know what you think in the comments or on social media!

I don’t think it did. I liked the last season in Space. It was just more of the same weird stuff… but IN SPACE! Plus… that ending
The show didn’t, but Mordecai jumped the shark the moment he kissed Margaret at the Christmas party in front of his friends and girlfriend.
His character development never recovered after that.
Great call. He really never did, did he?
