What\u2019s funnier? Bananas or Cheese?*

If you were a Nickelodeon kid of the \u201890s, there\u2019s no doubt \u201cRocko\u2019s Modern Life\u201d will be one of the shows you think of when it comes to Nicktoons of that era. It\u2019s sure a fond memory for me; a show always welcomed on my TV. This Nicktoon features fun, colorful characters for the kids as well as relatable situations for the adults.

Nickelodeon allowed creator Joe Murray to make \u201cRocko\u201d in the way he made his independent films which were mostly for adults. I applaud the fact nothing was dumbed down for us. This was even the first Nick show to address the topic of adoption, something previously taboo to mention in a kids\u2019 show (see episode Who\u2019s for Dinner?<\/em>). Volunteering to be the first to do such a thing took guts! \u201cRocko\u201d also addressed other adult-world topics such as jobs, parking places, the healthcare system, relationships, and other real-world issues unlike other Nicktoons at the time. I also enjoyed the art style. The crooked and wonky background props catch my eye. It\u2019s what made \u201cRocko\u201d \u201cRocko\u201d and the style totally screams \u201cJOE MURRAY!\u201d The style is carried on through his other works and shows. As I started my most recent go-around, seasons 1 and 2 were good. When I started season 3, it\u2019s like the quality of the episodes improved. The drawings became more consistent and the show itself seemed more family-friendly than previous seasons (though they did sneak in a few jokes). I\u2019d say the bar was set at season 4. By then, the show had established itself and it was apparent the voice actors were having fun performing their voices. One or two additional seasons were always welcomed but then there was the 52 episode rule Nick had that the time (curse that 52 episode rule) so the show ended at season 4. After I finished the series, I was hungry for more but all was done. \u201cRocko\u2019s Modern Life\u201d was a show made for a kids\u2019 channel but adults made the majority of the viewership. If the kids had any questions about what they saw, I wonder how the adults addressed their questions. This is a great show that a person can start watching as a kid and continue watching through adulthood. Since I can\u2019t give this show 10 stars, I\u2019ll just settle giving it a perfect 5 stars<\/u><\/strong> instead. This show needed more seasons. So, when\u2019s the movie \u201cStatic Cling\u201d coming out? *What do these phrases have to do with anything? Find out when you watch.
