      Season 1 – Rocko

      1993 Kids & Family Comedy Animation List
      100% 15 Reviews Tomatometer 77% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Rocko is a wallaby who has moved from his native Australia to the United States. But life in the United States isn't as idyllic as he had hoped it would be, for he is surrounded by annoying neighbors, tons of laundry, and life's issues in general. By Rocko's side to help him over the obstacles and through the challenges life throws at him are his best friend Heffer (a dim-witted bovine), his canine companion Spunky, and his neurotic buddy Filburt.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Rocko's thoroughly Modern Life applies a skeptical eye toward creature comforts and social niceties, making for a highly subversive animated series that comfortably functions as both satirical pop art and a zany entertainment for children.

      Slate Staff Slate Rocko was really a show about how to navigate the adult world; one that could be appreciated by kids for its slapstick humor and absurdity, but had even more to say to young adult. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Ben Travers PopMatters From the catchy opening jingle to the protagonist's triangle-laden polo, Rocko's Modern Life was a remarkably funny, decade-defining cartoon. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Ben Travers indieWire The cult favorite was self-aware, sharp, and introduced the world to impeccable talents like Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Bryan Hickman What Culture It's a testament to the writers and animators that a show that is essentially about suburban angst can be so fun. Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Jack Beresford Screen Rant Rocko's Modern Life was smart too, blending kid-friendly cartoon animation with biting satire, social commentary, and some surprisingly adult humor. Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Hillary Busis Mashable Besides maybe Ren & Stimpy, Rocko was also the show most likely to include jokes that went waaaaay over your head as a kid, making it even more fun to watch as an adult.
