a Regular Show reboot officially in development, that perfect ending risks being tarnished. However, if the rumors of the show being set before the series' ending are true, Regular Show's finale will remain as a perfect ending.

Moving the story backward would be a smart move for the franchise, as the possibilities are endless. Regular Show was at its best when its story took on an anthology approach, allowing each episode to be its own event. Creating more random adventures without ruining the original show's ending paves the way for popular side characters to return. They can also make sequel episodes, furthering past storylines without damaging the original. Futurama's recent reboot was able to make sequel episodes to some success, showing that Regular Show's reboot can do the same. If that happens, a particular character should be brought back for more stories.

The New Regular Show Should Bring Back Thomas

Despite Being A Late Addition, Thomas is A Beloved Character

First introduced in Regular Show season 4, Thomas begins his story as an intern for the parks crew. After two seasons in that role, it is revealed that Thomas is actually an undercover Russian spy, setting the stage for season 6's "The Real Thomas" special. In the end, Thomas double-crosses the Russian government, saves his friends, and goes into hiding. Thomas makes a few brief appearances in the rest of the show, ending up in Canada selling spy movies. Throughout his character's existence, Thomas became an integral part of the park crew's dynamic, and bringing him back is a must.

Despite mainly being a punching bag for High Five Ghost and Muscle Man, Thomas' addition to the show changed the group's dynamic for the better, adding a new element after three seasons. A lot of the time, Thomas was relegated to the background, mostly just following the group around on their adventures. His presence gave the group a unified "enemy" that they could all blame, with him having a trend of asking questions at the wrong time. His secret Russian spy background changed everything for him, making him one of the show's most interesting characters.

Thomas Had The Wildest Character Arc In Regular Show

Thomas Being A Secret Russian Spy Changed Him For The Better

"The Real Thomas" put Thomas front and center for the first time, finally moving his character from a bullying victim to the one running the show. In one of the more emotional moments of the series, Thomas' struggle with choosing between his country and his friends gave him one of the best moments in Regular Show. After going on the run, his story ended with him in Canada, unexpectedly concluding his arc. Every twist and turn with Thomas felt unexpected, making him one of the most unique characters the parks crew interacted with.

Since he was mainly used as a background character, Thomas' character change was one of the most unexpected moments of the show.

Regular Show had numerous weird episodes and stories, allowing Thomas' arc to feel normal in the context of the show. From Pops having an evil brother to Skips having to arm-wrestle Death for his immortal soul, every character was given unique stories that felt like they came out of left field. Since he was mainly used as a background character, Thomas' character change was one of the most unexpected moments of the show. With the reboot taking place in the past, Thomas can come back and have more adventures with the crew at any point, potentially with a bigger role.

Regular Show’s Reboot Is The Perfect Opportunity To Revisit Minor Characters

Beloved Characters Like The Baby Ducks Can Shine Again

As the stars of one of Regular Show's most bizarre, yet perfect, episodes, the Baby Ducks provided both humor and great stories. In addition, their robot fights with the geese gave the series some of its best action moments. By leaning into the weirdness, Regular Show found a lot of success, and bringing back more minor characters in the new show can continue those unique stories. Characters such as Death, Party Horse, and Techmo can add another piece to their stories, bringing more crazy adventures with them.

A Regular Show prequel could also answer questions the original show left unanswered. Skip's past gets fleshed out a bit throughout the show, but a lot of his backstory remains a mystery. Meanwhile, High Five Ghost's origin story is the biggest mystery in all of Regular Show and the reboot could dive further into his backstory. The possibilities are endless, paving the way for the reboot to go wherever it wants. Since the perfect ending will remain in place, Regular Show and its prequel can coexist without one tarnishing the other.
