Rocko's...NOT so Modern life...

So for most of us you might recall Rocko's Modern life. If not....I'm sure you can find reruns somewhere! Yet in any event Rocko's Modern Life focused on Rocko, a Wallaby from Australia who moves to O-Town. Obviously a fictional town. There he becomes friends with a cow...named Heffer, which looking back is really funny because a Heffer is a FEMALE cow, not a Male Steer...And he becomes friends with a turtle named Filburt who is basically afraid of darn near everything.

Rocko moves to O-Town with his dog Spunky, who like Gary the snail in Spongebob Squarepants gets into all sorts of trouble but is there when they need them.

Joe Murray - was the creator of Rocko and Spongebob Squarepants. The show first aired in 1993 and ran until 1996 on Nickelodeon. I liked this show when I was a kid. Granted some of the stuff was sort of Ren and Stimpy-ish in that it did have some crude humor and I probably didn't get HALF of what was being implied or said in the show.

The show was really about Rocko trying to navigate his new life in America and trying to make friends, hold down a job and how to deal with people who come into his life.










I looked this up and I was so brought back to watching this in front of the tv as a kid!
