The Resume

    (September 18, 1993-November 24, 1996)
    On Nickelodeon
    Created by Joe Murray
    Characters include Rocko (wallaby), Heffer (steer), Filburt (turtle), Spunky (dog) and the Bigheads (toads)

Why Rocko's Modern Life might be annoying:

    The show was marketed for a young audience, but it contained a lot of adult-related humor.
    The writers liked to add hidden sexual jokes to the show, like naming a restaurant in the show Chokey Chicken (choking the chicken).
    Other such sexual subjects include Mrs. Bighead trying to seduce Rocko and Spunky falling in love (and having sex with) a mop.
    It came out at about the same time as Ren & Stimpy and was overshadowed by Ren & Stimpy's fame.

Why Rocko's Modern Life might not be annoying:

    The show was never commercialized.
    It was a great show because everyone could relate their lives to it.
    Most of the episodes were about everyday tasks such as seeing the eye doctor and going to the grocery store.
    The show is considered by many as the 'original SpongeBob SquarePants,' as many of its writers currently write for SpongeBob.
    Some fans think it was a good thing that it lasted so short, or else it would end up like other shows such as Rugrats and lose its touch.
    The show's Christmas episode got played in many independent channels after its release.
    Many older Nickelodeon fans consider it one of the best, if not THE best, original Nick cartoon.
    It tends to remind the show's fans of how Nickelodeon is currently downhill, considering its lack of humor and their tendency to take off good shows and keep bad ones on.
