Production

Regular Show‍'s sixth season was storyboarded and written by Calvin Wong, Ryan Pequin, Benton Connor, Sarah Oleksyk (who moved on to become a storyboard director for Sanjay and Craig), Madeline Queripel, Minty Lewis, Toby Jones and Owen Dennis, plus newcomer Casey Crowe. Mike Roth was supervising producer until "Gamers Never Say Die" and Sean Szeles, who was supervising director, became a supervising producer as of "Eileen Flat Screen", though "The White Elephant Gift Exchange" was aired out of order. Szeles previously acted as supervising director earlier in the season alongside John Infantino, who once again became the sole supervising director for the rest of the season. From the episode "Eileen Flat Screen" onwards, Paula Spence was credited as supervising art director during this season. This was the last season where Roth worked on before he worked on the movie and left the show to other projects. The writers for this season were Quintel, Roth, Infantino, Szeles, Michele Cavin, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor.

Development

The series was renewed for a sixth season by Cartoon Network on October 29, 2013. A fourth "Terror Tales of the Park" aired on October 29, 2014, as part of this season, and J. G. Quintel announced that Season 6 would contain more half-hour specials, and even a wedding involving Muscle Man and his girlfriend Starla. This season was originally planned to have 40 episodes, but was cut to 31 to accommodate for the new film based on the series, and season seven contained 39 episodes.[4]
