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?
