List of Regular Show episodes

The seventh season of the American animated comedy television series Regular Show, created by J. G. Quintel, originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States. Quintel originally created the series' pilot using characters from his comedy shorts for the cancelled anthology series The Cartoonstitute. He developed Regular Show from his own experiences in college, while several of its main characters originated from his animated shorts The Naïve Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM. He himself voice acts one of the main characters in the show, "Mordecai", a blue bird. The series was renewed for a seventh season at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International on July 25, 2014. The previous season contained 31 episodes in order to accommodate for the film and this season will contain the normal 40 episodes from the previous seasons.[1][2]

The first episode, "Dumptown U.S.A." aired on June 26, 2015 as a "season seven preview," while the season officially premiered on August 6, 2015.[3]

The seventh season aired the show's 200th episode "Struck by Lightning" on September 17, 2015.

Development

Production

The series was officially renewed for a seventh season on July 25, 2014 at the San Diego Comic-Con International event. Regular Show and Adventure Time are the first Cartoon Network series to be renewed for a seventh season. Toby Jones announced on June 21, 2015 that the previous season would only contain 31 episodes because of the production of the upcoming movie and that season seven will have 40 episodes, making "Dumptown U.S.A." the season premiere, with the rest of the season officially beginning later in the year. The staff writers of this season are Quintel, Matt Price, Michele Cavin, Gina Ippolito and Sean Szeles, with Price as story editor. The writer and storyboard artists are Benton Connor, Calvin Wong, Madeline Queripel, Casey Crowe, Toby Jones, Owen Dennis, Minty Lewis, Ryan Pequin, and newcomers Sam Spina and Alex Cline. It is the last season for Wong as writer/storyboard artist, as his last episode was "Win That Prize" and became supervising director as of the episode "Benson's Pig". It is also the last season for Jones as writer/storyboard artist, leaving the show to become supervising director for shorts from the Cartoon Network game "OK KO!". Szeles is supervising producer and Ryan Slater is producer.

During a press interview by Bubbleblabber, Quintel confirmed that during the season a special, "wintery-themed" episode will air later in the year and that the season seven finale will be a big half-hour special, something that changes the course of the series.[4]
