The TVI Take

J.G. Quintel's Cartoon Network series about two anthropomorphic park groundskeepers, Mordecai the blue jay and Rigby the raccoon.

The structural commitment to absurdist park-attendant comedy with sustained adult cultural-reference fluency (1980s synthwave, arcade-game iconography, post-rock score) is what gave the property its dual kids-and-adults audience. Cult adult-animation work disguised as Cartoon Network programming.
