in 2008, quintel pitched "regular show" for the cartoonstitute project at cartoon network by using a storyboard, with his reasoning that "i don't think me verbally pitching such an odd concept would have made any sense to anyone." in 2009, cartoon network ordered more episodes of "the marvelous misadventures of flapjack" as well as greenlit quintel's project, "regular show". the agreement upon the premise of "regular show" was that the series would be about two park groundskeepers, mordecai (a 6-foot blue jay) and rigby (a hyperactive raccoon), who try to entertain themselves at their jobs while doing anything they can to avoid work and escape their everyday boredom. along with his success at getting approval to develop "regular show," in december 2009, quintel and director john infantino were nominated for an asifa-hollywood annie award in the category of "directing in a television production" for their directing work on the "" episode in season 2 of "the marvelous misadventures of flapjack". however, american animation director and fellow calarts graduate bret haaland subsequently took the director annie award in february 2010 for haaland's work on "the penguins of madagascar – launchtime". nine months after quintel was nominated for an annie award, "regular show" debuted in new york at 8:15 p.m. est on september 6, 2010. in september 2011, while the first season of "regular show" was being aired, quintel was nominated for a primetime emmy award in the outstanding short-format animated program category as executive producer and creator of "regular show". however, his "regular show" series was beat out for the award by the abc animated special, "".

"regular show" was renewed for a third season on november 16, 2010. the first episode of "regular show"'s third season is "stick hockey", ending with the season finale "bad kiss". the season was storyboarded and written by sean szeles, kat morris, benton connor, calvin wong, quintel, ben adams, andres salaff, john infantino, toby jones, hilary florido, mike roth, and madeline queripel while being produced by cartoon network studios. the show is rated tv-pg for rude language, mild sexual innuendo, and suggestive humor/themes, and occasionally tv-pg-v for mild to moderate violence, including comic slapstick, scenes of peril, and non-fatal use of firearms, explosives, and weapons, and visual and verbal references to death and dying. despite not airing on cartoon network's adult swim line-up, it is considered more of a traditional adult animated comedy than a children's cartoon.
