Does anyone remember the cartoon, Rocko's Modern Life
God that show was funny, one of the best shows on nickelodeon along with Ren and Stimpy.

1. didn't the B-52's do the theme song? Or maybe just Kate.

2. Yes.
It was a prototype Spongebob.

The environment opera episode is one of the best musical animations ever.

25. There's Nick Toons and Nick Gas (which I don't have)
I loved Nick Arcade when I was a Kid. Someone should make a channel that shows cartoons from the 80's and early 90's.

9. I loved that show.
I was in my early twenties when it was out, but I still loved it. I think it had a broad age range appeal, even if it was primarily for older kids. But, then, I never fully grew up, so I don't know :)

13. It has social commentary
I realized when I watched it with my three year old brother today. Conglomo, you know the corporation is obviously symbolic of something. Come to think of it, Filbert reminds me of Woody Allen a little, at least the parodies of Allen Ive seen.

10. My kids and I LOVED
that show! My son used to give me shit because I always called it "Rocko's Modern World". I used to get it confused with "Real World" which started around the same time. Rocko had a better show, hands down! Even my kids would probably agree now...

Great show! :D

23. That show was funny as hell. I miss it! It was pretty short lived if
I recall, though.

26. Filbert, Heffer, and Rocko, and his dog Spunky...
that was the greatest cartoon show in the world.
