Hey, Regular Show fans, this is Concernedalien11780. I've been a fan of Regular Show ever since it first aired in 2010. This was mainly because of how I spent much of my preteen and early teen years obsessing over Cartoon Network's programming because of my introverted nature that I had as a result of an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis that, while it's not as socially problematic now as it was back then, I still have. It's part of why I want to write a blog post on all of the Wikia blogs for things I like that allow blog posts to be written on them by users. One of my dreams since my preteen years was to join an online community of people that like something I like, make friends and/or acquaintences on at least one of those websites, and get my name out there in some other way before becoming a cartoon writer/producer/director/animator/voice actor, but I only built up the drive to do so this past spring, and ever since then, I've been writing blog posts on these wikis because I trust wiki communities as good sources of fans and information for things I like and think that they're as good of fan communities as any to be a part of, so I decided to contribute a little to multiple wikis for many things I like and see who is the most positively receptive to things I say. I sometimes disable comments on my posts out of fear that I may incite controversy with some of my opinions on some of the things I like and don't want to read flames and/or diatribes against me and ask that people send me direct messages on my userpage if something I say frustrates them and they want to talk about it, which I understand is a somewhat cowardly way of avoiding criticism and that it would be useful to have open dialogue about some subjects in order for us to better one another, but when you've seen so much bad things on the Internet, even when none of them happen directly to you, it's hard to take even well-intentioned criticism from an almost-total stranger. I don't think I'll have to disable comments on this post considering how Regular Show doesn't have any extremely contentious aspects, with the exception of the debate over whether Margaret or CJ is a better girlfriend for Mordecai, but I don't have any real stake in that, so if you feel like helping out a new guy, sound off in the comments.

Anyway, back to what I should be writing about. I somewhat became adverse to the show for a little while due to conditioning at the theraputic boarding school I went to for 9th and 10th grade that basically guilted students into "outgrowing" anything marketed to kids. Even though it took until a year after transitioning from that theraputic boarding school and getting more serious about my desire to become part of an animation studio to make this happen, I eventually regained my interest in Regular Show because I wanted to remember most of the animated programs I had watched in the past and present to cite as influences on my writing style, which is an extensive list of shows in multiple genres and demographics, Regular Show included.

Now I can appreciate Regular Show for serving as a "bridge show" between Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. There's a reason why it has a bigger following of teens and adults than kids. Kids might like it because it has animals and non-humans doing human things, but the older fans know that it's really about character relationships, subtle-but-not-too-subtle adult jokes, more modern sensibilities than many "real" adult cartoons, and creative animation that prove that the show is anything but "regular". Thanks for the support, and get ready for the movie this fall, dudes. #ooooooohhhhhhh
