Three-Four seasons ago, I would have never thought that they would have made an awesome episode like 'The Real Thomas'. The way the stories are written are changing, which can be good or bad, considering what types of stories you'd like to see. Some recent episodes have even given me the nostalgia of some of the humour from the first two seasons, while others are pretty unexpected, to say the least. I don't think it is winding down, I think it is developing in various ways, so that it may continue to last. It's like The Simpsons in a way. They are on the 26th season right now. Some say that that is past its time, but there are still some nice stories to tell. ( Bart's new friend, for example/reference ). But let's look at that show for a moment for comparison with this time issue. The first few seasons of the Simpsons are classics, with simple and touching stories. The seasons around 8-12 are written in a  way that fit with the character development made. After those seasons, the later seasons of the series started mixing old and new brands of humor and storytelling, while they also had competition from mcfarland and recently, bob's burgers. In the seasons following the movie, there has been a dramatic shift in the approach, as there are new audiences that are just getting involved with the show. For continuity, The simpsons used Sideshow Bob and other characters/plots throughout the run so far. Little things like that keep it together. Back to Regular Show. They are entering newer seasons, so the writing style is going to reflect that in a way. There are new storyboard artists on Regular show DEBUTING their FIRST soryboarded episodes for the series. For example, Casey Crowe is a new storyboarder, and his first episode ( co-written with Calvin Wong) was Mordecai and Rigby Down Under. New writers are coming in, and some may be leaving as well. I'm sure that they want this show to continue as long as possible, but also, they are making sure that things feel conclusive if the show were to cease production soon. The writers are adding continuity to please/ keep interest of the older fans ( and new fans), while they are continuing with episodes like 'Lift with your back' in order to please the new fans who are coming to the show. They might add too much continuity, but that is for us to decide for ourselves; though, as committed fans already, continuity is of no issue. They added CJ for about the same reason as the things I've mentioned above. They introduced her as a one-episode girl early in the series, but now that the show has gaind momentum, and new fans are arriving, they added her back in so that new fans have a love interest to see Mordecai fall in love with (Like how we saw mordecai and margret for the first few seasons), while old fans recognize her from earlier on. They balance the new fans with the old fans in a successful way, in my opinion. The same goes for the writing styles and the plot direction. Maybe I'm not explaining it well enough... All I'm saying is, it may appear to be getting old for some, and that's fine, it's your opinion. However it may be getting even better to others. I want to see all roads taken with this show. And like how The Simpsons continues to change and develop, while still referenceing the old/ keeping continuity and character traits in mind, Regular show seems to be doing something similar. Again, I love the way things are done for Regular show, and I love the people who work hard to entertain us. So sit back and enjoy and stop fighting about the love triangle you have no control about, and support the show. I want season 8, but we will have to see. If it ended tomorrow, I'd be dissapointed, but I still love that they were able to deliver everything that they did do far. I'm looking forward to the show until the very end. I don't care who Mordecai is with, as long as he's happy it's fine. (I like CJ though) (also, I do like Rigleen). Anyways. Stay calm and watch. PLEASE WATCH. This show depends on RATINGS!!! .. ... That's it, I guess....PS: Let's go season 6&7! Let's hope for season 8! Not just the ratings, but the amount of viewers as well
