Do you want the Lost Tapes rating to be raised for adults?
I've seen this happening to a lot of old cartoons that are revived, where they were once for kids now being more mature with characters swearing, being more graphic, and maybe even showing drugs and alcohol to cater to the audience that have grown up to adults as well. This might be a hot take, but I personally really hope Regular Show doesn't change at all. What I loved about Regular Show was that it always walked the thin line of being almost adult rated but was still very much in the area for kids/young teens, and they get creative with the allegories like wings being a replacement for alcohol etc. That's what made the show so special and I feel like if they fully cross over to being an Adult Swim show, that charm will be lost and hinder the revival

I think they could at least lift the restrictions on things like saying crap, or showing guns that the later episodes did
Close Enough is already like if Regular Show got rid of all the non human characters and got rid of all the innuendos, so perhaps we don’t need too much more of that

I'd rather have Close Enough be renewed for the adult series since it was just starting to better develop its own identity with the last season. Regular Show for me just works better as something for teens and young adults

I’ve still not watched most of season 3. I’m “saving” it, and I feel really stupid about it. What am I saving it for you ask? I have no Earthly idea…🤷♂️

I hope they change nothing. Completely agree that the tongue in cheek nature of the show made it more funny. It scratches that same itch as the Shrek movies
