“Regular Show,” the Cartoon Network stoner-buddy-comedy-for-kids recently came to a satisfying end, leaving many people wondering where it’s creator JG Quintel would head next. Being that Regular Show’s audience was (in a big way) supported by people older than the usual Cartoon Network demographic, it made sense to most that JG would move to a more straight forward adult-oriented environment.

And that’s exactly what happened when TBS announced it had given the green light to Quientel’s new show “Close Enough,” which is billed as “a surreal take on transitioning from twentysomething to thirtysomething.” The show features a married couple learning to deal with parenthood, and the tribulations of having to be responsible. They also said something about “stripper clowns.”

Check out the trailer for the show below:

The style of the animation is almost the exact same as Regular Show – minus the animals – and with Quientel’s voice on the cast, it’s hard not to imagine Mordecai filling in for Close Enough‘s main character.

Quientel even said at one point, that the two shows take place in the same universe.

This is incredibly interesting, heres why:

The animated short that predated but also inspired the creation of Regular Show for Cartoon Network was called “2 In The Am Pm” and features two dudes working in a gas station who ingest LSD and begin to turn into different animals. One of the dudes (the one Quientel voices) turns into the Mordecai character.

There has always been a popular fan theory that essentially suggests that the entire Regular Show universe is actually just these two dudes from the short, high on acid. But when you consider that the character from Quientel’s brand new series looks and sounds exactly like that same guy, and apparently lives in the same universe as Regular Show…

Maybe they were right all along.

Maybe “Close Enough” is just the story of those same characters growing up, sobering up, and acting like real, semi-functioning humans.
