It feels like just yesterday we were containing our excitement about this wallaby returning to home video. Today, we get to re-live it. ROCKO’S MODERN LIFE: SEASON TWO is now out on a two-disc DVD, and it’s about bloomin’ time.
ROCKO’S MODERN LIFE was the fourth cartoon Nickelodeon ever did. It followed the life of Rocko, a wallaby who was adjusting to his new life in O-Town, America, after moving from Australia. The episodes were chopped full of parodies and satire. It was also directed by SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS creator Stephen Hillenburg, and it featured Spongebob’s voice, Tom Kenney, as Rocko’s best friend, Heffer Wolfe.
The DVD features all 13 episodes from the second season, including the one where Rocko has to get his appendix removed. Yes, this cartoon touched on appendicitis and made it funny. It was that good.
