CN Debuts Regular Show on Labor Day

Cartoon Network is not sitting back and resting on its laurels this Labor Day weekend, premiering the new animated comedy Regular Show on Sept. 6 at 8:15 p.m. ET/PT.

Created by J.G. Quintel, the series features a voice cast that includes Quintel as Mordecai and High Five Ghost; William Salyers as Rigby; Sam Marin as Benson, Pops and Muscle Man; Mark Hamill as Skips; and Janie Haddad as Margaret.

The network describes the series as follows:

‘A new original animated comedy by Cartoon Network, Regular Show features best friends Mordecai (a six-foot-tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon). The two are groundskeepers at a park owned by Pops, a humanoid-looking lollipop who has spent his entire life there. The job is so deadly dull that the two friends will do anything they can to avoid it. This doesn’t go over well with their boss Benson (an anthropomorphic gumball machine) ‘ but their efforts often result in insane escapades that delight Pops.’

The series is immediately followed by the debut of the new Mad animated series, based on the classic humor magazine.
