Regular Show revolves around two twenty-three-year-old slackers named Mordecai (voiced by J.G. Quintel) and Rigby (voiced by William Salyers), who are a blue jay and raccoon, respectively. The duo live in and have a job at a park (appropriately called The Park). Also working at The Park are Skips (voiced by Mark Hamill), a thousand-year-old yeti who is the wisest member of the group, Muscle Man (voiced by Sam Marin), a crude groundskeeper who constantly spouts "mom" jokes, Benson (voiced by Sam Marin), their uptight and eternally-frustrated boss (who also happens to be a gumball machine), Pops Maellard (voiced by Sam Marin), the jolly, lollipop-shaped son of The Park's owner, and High Fives Ghost (voiced by J.G. Quintel), a quiet ghost with a hand extending from his head. Each episode consists of Mordecai and Rigby starting an ordinary activity, which eventually leads to a supernatural event or the awakening of a bizarre creature.

The Best DVD In The World is probably not the best way to introduce yourself to the show, as it primarily contains episodes from the third season. The episodes chosen are all outstanding, but even a show with a simple premise seems better once you've seen the first few episodes and gotten a feel for the format. Highlights on this disc are "Camping Can Be Cool", "Eggscellent", and the surprisingly poignant "Trucker Hall of Fame".

The answer depends almost entirely on what kind of person you are. If you're concrete and hate it when something combusts for no particular reason, then this is not a show for you. Don't come anywhere near it. However, if you enjoyed quirky shows such as SpongeBob Squarepants, but are ready for something with more of an edge, go out and give Regular Show a try. The humor is somewhat off-beat and derived from the characters, who are all funny in their own right. While they're both slackers, Mordecai is the more conscious, mature one, not to mention slightly geeky and nervous around women, specifically Margaret (voiced by Janie Haddad), a robin who works at the guys' favorite coffee shop. Rigby is easily angered, impulsive, and will do anything to gratify himself. Together, they live to annoy each other, but secretly care for the other's safety. Sam Marin performs quite well as three very different characters, especially Benson, who, when not yelling his lungs out at Mordecai and Rigby, can be quite funny. All together, the characters bounce off one another easily, and are developed as the series progresses.

Another impressive feature of Regular Show is its animation. A lot of thought is invested into portraying the surreal creatures that arrive and depart (usually in a flash of blinding light) at the episode's climax. The backgrounds are beautiful, and when things get weird, the animators subtly warp everyday objects so that even they seem twisted and unfamiliar. Even though a good fourth of every eleven-minute segment is a character running, those scenes are always so well-shot and set to a wonderfully ominous score.

Regular Show is a strange project and, unless your children are in middle school or you have the remote ready, this isn't for the little ones. The characters tend to swear, some of the monsters are ridiculously gruesome, and there will be jokes that might make you spit-take (hopefully, they'll fly right over your children's heads). But, give it some time, and you'll find that Regular Show is not so regular after all.

Regular Show: Best DVD in the World shows that animals don't have to be to scale on DVD courtesy of Warner Home Video. The show has been letterboxed at 1.78:1 and the transfer is enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs. The image is sharp and clear, showing on grain. The colors look good, and the show does an interesting job of blending bright tones with darker colors. The image is never overly dark or clear. The digital transfer does reveal some stuttering of the image and at times it looks like we can see each individual drawing. The DVD carries a Dolby 2.0 audio track which provides clear dialogue and sound effects. The audio is confined to the front and center channels. The mix of the three channels works well, but we don't get much in the way of separate stereo effects. The front channels do produce some OK bass at times.

The only extra on the DVD is "Employee Profiles", where you can go through a list of the main characters and read a short, fairly vague biography on each.
