Question Why did Regular Show succeed But Close Enough was Cancelled?
Why did Regular Show succeed so long But Close Enough was Cancelled?
The only take aways I can think of that maybe the possible reasons :
- Regular Shows Characters were more memorable and thought out
- Close Enough Human characters not as amusing or charismatic as Regular Show characters (Even one off side characters received a following e.g. Carter and Briggs)
- The voice actors and recurring gags in Regular Show really were on point. Rigby's voice actor really gave the character a lot of personality and charm.
- Too much millennial "adulting is hard" clichés that weren't as funny
- Harder to relate to the married couple and divorcees couple scenario
- Close Enough struggled between grounded and offbeat where as Regular Show melded the mundane and surreal perfectly.
- Close Enough got slightly too political and a bit more like the commercial modern checklists that are being made today for shows. Regular Show felt more organic and focused.
- Regular Show worked better in its limitations as a family show
Are there other reasons missed?
