Rigleen

**Rigleen** refers to the relationship between Rigby and Eileen in Regular Show which has largely been very underrated to the point of which many people forget about it despite how good their relationship was (and really is objectively one of the greatest ever relationships in cartoon history), but due to how underrated it was, people just seem to overlook it in general.

## What Caused it to be Underrated

One of (if not) the biggest cause to their relationship being very underrated is the fact that it was pretty much overshadowed by Mordecai's relationship and love life, of which there were several episodes of such. Because of how much more of a "main" character Mordecai was compared to Rigby, naturally that would lead to people focusing on his relationship issues more.

Another cause of Rigby and Eileen's relationship being largely underrated is that it never actually officially became "canon" until the end of season 6. At which point, it was already a little too late, as the earlier episodes are really what people most associate with Regular Show. The thing that took so long for their relationship to be revealed is Eileen not wanting to shove their happiness down Mordecai's throat, and had it not been for Rigby partially implying that he was in a relationship in the season 6 finale, their relationship would have most likely never been revealed.

The timing of which their relationship was revealed was also pretty bad, as in season 7 the Park had to deal with a dome, which would then be lifted off to space in season 8. While it's true that Eileen became more of a major character in season 8, unfortunately there were little to no episodes or even moments focusing on her relationship with Rigby, causing it to be more and more underrated.

## Consequence

As mentioned earlier, because of how much of a "main" character Mordecai was (well compared to Rigby anyway), and how Mordecai's relationship and love life dominated the majority of the show going back to the first season all the way to the sixth season (and even bleeding through the seventh season a bit), that's the relationship that the general public seem to focus on the most with Rigby's relationship and love life being forgotten about by the public, despite how good it is (and how much better it is compared to a huge majority of relationships you see in TV in general).

So as a result, whenever you see people talking about relationships in cartoons, they seem to very heavily criticize Regular Show, with the criticism focusing purely on Mordecai, with Rigby being completely forgotten about. An example of such can be found in this comment on YouTube, where someone mentions that Regular Show sucks at relationships, and it isn't until someone brings up Rigby's relationship in the replies to that comment that the OP realises that, OH WAIT, turns out Regular Show DOESN'T suck at relationships.

Really, you can just see this mentality wherever you go, that because of how much of a main focus that Mordecai's relationship and love life was, that people tend to say that Regular Show just sucks at relationships in general, while at the same time completely forgetting about Rigby's relationship and love life, which is very much unfair to the show completely.

There is one video where Eileen thankfully got at least some recognition, but even then you can still see people in the comment section of the video disagreeing with Eileen taking the #1 spot, although to be fair those are the people who have most likely never even watched Regular Show (or at least episodes focusing on Eileen), but what's not fair is those same groups of people having no plans of giving Regular Show a chance. Which furthers the unfair mentality.
