From Regular Show
creator J.G. Quintel comes a new series Close Enough. Using the same animation
style as the Cartoon Network show, this new series features a couple trying to
raise a child in the same apartment as their divorced friends. The overall tone
of Close Enough seems very similar to the first show from Quintel, a
series that featured best friends Mortdecai and Rigby as they tried to skip out
on work at a park. Their adventures took chaotic, wild, and supernatural turns
when trying to avoid menial jobs. The series had a strong cult following up
until the movie finale in January of 2017.
Releasing on HBO Max on
July 9th, Close Enough is poised to deliver a more adult show than was available on Cartoon Network. However despite the content limitations associated
with airing a series on a children’s network, Regular Show pushed the
envelope through strongly implied adult content throughout the series. From
the trailer it looks as if Close Enough is going to try and go even further.
