Best Season of Rocko’s Modern Life

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I got the whole series on DVD as a Christmas present. I’ve been watching it since it debuted and even had the complete series before in the days of tape trading and what have you.

It’s been over 10 years since I watched the whole thing though and I’m going through it chronologicallY. I’m about halfway into season 1.

I never realized how much season 1 was sort of like Seinfeld...if Seinfeld was a cartoon wallaby. Some of the premises are as simple as isn’t going to the DMV annoying? What’s the deal with airplane travel? Can you believe how much trouble it is just to go to the movies?

I really love the whole season and I know some prefer season 1 for the very thinly veiled adult jokes. However they still slip those in as late as season 4. I also like how the later seasons had the characters more established and could come up with more complex stories.

No idea what I’d pick though. Possibly 3 or 4, but it’s tough not to love season 1. Or 2.

Anyway, in case you need help remembering what episodes where in which season, here is Wikipedia to help: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rocko%27s_Modern_Life_episodes

I voted for season 1 because it is just the best. I love those simple plots. I always thought Rocko was a great mixture of the original 3. It had an average every day joe protagonist like Doug, it's plot were about everyday experiences like going to the supermarket, the movies, etc. like early Rugrats, and it was set in a wacky world like Ren and Stimpy. Season 1 best show cased that.

I didn't watch it until the run was finished and they just reran it on weekday mornings for years and years before I went to school. So I'm not sure what episodes go with what seasons. I'd say that's a testament to how good/consistent the show was but.....maybe I need to go back and watch them again? I don't know.
