Forsome reason, it seems to me that Season 1 had the biggest changes, and well being the first season of the show, it would make sense to start with that. Really the only thing I know right now is that some uncensored episodes (not sure which or anything) can be found on the Slack Pack DVD, but I have not been able to find this anywhere to confirm. Even then there has got to be better quality, like HDTV or something, right?
I just inspected a few episodes on HBO Max and they all seem to be uncensored except for the first two episodes and Terror Tails of the Park uses its re-arranged version rather than the original version that first aired (I actually never got why this one was done)
These alterations are found on The Complete First and Second Seasons set. However, the original unaltered version of The Power can be found on the Regular Show: Slack Pack release. Unfortunately, the unaltered version of Meat Your Maker has not been released on DVD or Blu-ray."

Yes I am, for some reason in the re-arranged version they put the first two segments as a single episode and then put the third as an entirely separate episode (interestingly enough put as the episode before the re-edited other two segments), ruining the ending of it, also the intro was changed to accommodate for this
Regular Show (known as Regular Show in Space during its eighth and final season)[3] is an American animated sitcom created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network. It ran from September 6, 2010, to January 16, 2017, over the course of eight seasons and 244 episodes.[4][5][6] The series follows the daily lives of two 23-year old friends, Mordecai (a blue jay) and Rigby (a raccoon), who work at a local park as groundskeepers. Their coworkers are Skips (an immortal yeti), Muscle Man (a green-skinned overweight man), and Hi-Five Ghost (a ghost). Other characters include Pops (a lollipop-shaped man), and the duo's boss Benson (a gumball machine). The duo spend their days slacking off and avoiding work to entertain themselves by any means, which leads to surrealistic, extreme, and supernatural misconduct.[7]
Many of Regular Show's characters were loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Nave Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM.[8] The former was one of the winners of the 2005 Nicktoons Film Festival and received international attention after being broadcast on Nicktoons Network.[9] Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed young artists to create pilots with no notes, which would possibly be optioned as shows. The series premiered on September 6, 2010, on Cartoon Network.
Regular Show largely grew out of creator J. G. Quintel's life and experiences in college.[15] Quintel attended the California Institute of the Arts, and many of the characters on Regular Show are based on the characters developed for his student films The Nave Man from Lolliland (2005) and 2 in the AM PM (2006). Both originated as part of the 48-Hour Film Project, in which students put words into a hat, pulled out one word at midnight and spent a weekend developing ideas for a film. Quintel attended college with Thurop Van Orman and Pendleton Ward, who both went on to work at Cartoon Network Studios with Quintel; Van Orman created The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Ward created Adventure Time. Quintel concurrently worked on Camp Lazlo and as creative director on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack while completing his degree. He was later invited to pitch for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute, a project to showcase short films created without the interference of network executives and focus testing.[16][17]
Episodes are produced using storyboarding and hand-drawn animation, and each episode takes roughly nine months to create. Quintel recruited several independent comic book artists to draw the show's animated elements; their style matched closely with Quintel's ideas for the series. The show's soundtrack comprises original music composed by Mark Mothersbaugh as well as licensed songs. While preparing for the beginning of the show, Quintel looked for young, independent comic artists to comprise the show's storyboard artists; he thought that the style would closely match that of Regular Show. He looked through blogs and convention panels for the "total package", which he said was the ability to write and draw, something that many independent comic book artists possess. In addition, Quintel attended many open shows at CalArts, an eight-hour festival of student animation.[17] The style and sensibility of Regular Show was difficult to work with in the beginning; the artists struggled to create a natural, sitcom-like sound for the series.[18]
The plots of Regular Show episodes generally begin with a basic problem that the characters must overcome. While the protagonists work on their task, a magical, supernatural or strange element appears and complicates the initially simple problem.[7] The writers decided to follow this narrative structure to take advantage of the animation.[7]
The series is rated TV-PG-V.[7] Cartoon Network told Quintel early on that they wanted to "age it up from the TV-Y7 stuff we'd been doing in the past". This direction led the crew to use adult-oriented humor with innuendos and drug and alcohol references. One of the program's storyboard artists, Calvin Wong, said he enjoys the limitations set by writing for the show since the adult-oriented jokes that are approved are satisfying.[20][failed verification]
The plots of the episodes were influenced by Quintel's and the writers' personal experiences, such as performing prank telephone calls or accepting an eating challenge from a restaurant. The show often references 1980s culture, using music and electronic devices from that era because many factors from the decade left a positive influence on Quintel.[7] The show also makes references to modern social trends such as viral internet videos.[7]
The voice acting of the series is relatively low-key, and the intention was to make most of the characters sound natural and conversational.[7] Quintel wanted to make the show listenable and given contrast to most other cartoons, which often are difficult for adults to listen to. The main cast consists of voice acting veterans Mark Hamill, who portrays Skips, and Roger Craig Smith, who plays Thomas. William Salyers plays the voice of Rigby; Janie Haddad portrays Margaret; Quintel's former CalArts classmate Sam Marin voices Benson, Pops and Muscle Man;[7] and Quintel portrays Mordecai and Hi-Five Ghost.[7] Members of the production staff have voiced several characters throughout the series, including Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Andress Salaff, and Matt Price. The Regular Show cast recorded their lines together in group as opposed to individual recording sessions for each actor; this helped make the show's dialogue sound natural. The series regularly used guest voice actors for recurring characters, such as Steven Blum, Courtenay Taylor, David Ogden Stiers, Robin Atkin Downes, Jeff Bennett, Jennifer Hale, David Kaye, Fred Tatasciore, Matthew Yang King, and Julian Holloway.
Although most modern animation had switched to hybrid methods such as the Cintiq, Regular Show was described as "far more low-fi" and was animated traditionally by hand using paper, which was then digitally composited and painted with digital ink and paint. Although Cintiqs were initially optioned to be used for the program, Quintel stated that he felt more comfortable working on paper, considering it to be more organic and more representative of each artist's individual style. Board artist Calvin Wong said, "the tools of the trade as being pencils, pens, white-out and occasionally lightboxes and electric erasers".[17]
Regular Show has no regular theme music; instead, at the beginning of each episode, a blurred sound (provided by Quintel) followed by a ticking clock is heard over the title cards.[citation needed] The main composer of the series is Mark Mothersbaugh, one of the founding members of the band Devo. As Quintel was developing the pilot, he considered asking Mothersbaugh to create the music for the show. The episode's animatic was sent to Mothersbaugh, along with a request for him to join the show's staff and crew.
The show also produced original songs that were used in episodes, which were generally composed by Mothersbaugh and written by one of the staff's storyboard artists.[7] "Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)" was written by staff member Sean Szeles and appeared in the episode "This Is My Jam" (season 2, episode 13).[7]
Most episodes of Regular Show last 11 minutes; episodes are usually paired together to fill a half-hour program slot. 244 episodes in eight seasons have been completed and broadcast. The first season premiered on September 6, 2010, with the episode "The Power" and ended on November 22, 2010, with "Mordecai and the Rigbys".[24] The second season premiered on November 29, 2010, with the episode "Ello Gov'nor" and ended on August 1, 2011, with "Karaoke Video".[25] The third season premiered on September 19, 2011, with the episode "Stick Hockey" and concluded on September 3, 2012, with "Bad Kiss".[26] The fourth season premiered on October 1, 2012, with the half-hour episode "Exit 9B" and concluded on August 12, 2013, with "Steak Me Amadeus".[27] The fifth season premiered on September 2, 2013, with the episodes "Laundry Woes" and "Silver Dude" and concluded on August 14, 2014, with "Real Date".[28][29] The sixth season premiered on October 9, 2014, with the episode "Maxin' and Relaxin'"[30] and ended on June 25, 2015, with "Dumped at the Altar".[31] The seventh season premiered with the episode "Dumptown U.S.A." on June 26, 2015,[32] and ended with the half-hour episode "Rigby's Graduation Day Special" on June 30, 2016. The eighth and final season, titled Regular Show in Space, premiered on September 26, 2016, with the episode "One Space Day at a Time" and ended on January 16, 2017, with "A Regular Epic Final Battle".[33]
