Just on that point, I remember in an early interview with JG when he was asked how he felt about Regular Show's success (sorry forget which one), he said he and his team were just estatic the show passed its first season. So yeah, I'm guessing at that point there was no plan for the main/supporting characters to go through their own character arcs. From how the series went I'd think at some point they did try to at least give continuity to the main characters' relationships, like Muscle Man would talk about getting along with Mordecai and Rigby better than he had before. But you can also tell they were also sort of doing the whole return to the status quo thing, especially with Benson's boss-employee relationship with Mordecai/Rigby and Mordecai being eternally unlucky in love.
