This review is from: Rocko's Modern Life: With Friends Like These [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When Rocko's Modern Life came out in 1993, I was excited. I have to really admit, it remains as one of my favorite cartoons Nickelodeon has aired in the past few years. The humor within it is just plain peachy, with a hint of spice inside from the walaby from Austrailia. One of the things that Rocko can alwasy count on in the way, is his friend Heffer. Although their relationship as friends might seem a little bit strange, the humor is worth the wait in food Heffer eats.

The First Edition of With Friends Like These... reflects Rocko and Heffer getting into some of the strangest scenarios you'd ever expect to see. Take the first cartoon, Bedfellows. In this cartoon, Heffer moves into Rocko's home, after his family rented out his room. As a result, the two friends seem to be the complete opposite of the Odd Couple. It gets a little bit worse when Heffer invites a whole bunch of nudists into Rocko's home, without the walaby's permission. Will it destroy their friendship? You'll have to see and find out.

The second cartoon, No Pain, No Gain... showcases Rocko and Heffer entering a health spa to get their lives and their figures back into shape. But for the two of them, it makes it a little harder, especially when Heffer relaxes a little too much. It makes the two of them lose a little bit more than they bargained for. It even comes worse, when Heffer and Rocko take a one-on-one game of Basketball, and as Heffer makes a slam dunk, he knocks over a wall. On the other side of the wall, were people that were trying to take a shower.

The last episode, The Good, The Bad, and The Wallaby... is one of my favorites. In this cartoon, Rocko and Heffer go to Uncle Gib, Rocko's Uncle of course. Heffer feels an itch of living with cattle, where Rocko tries to learn about the real trade of traits, as he tries to finally be a cowboy. The test come into play a little bit harder, where Rocko has to try to save Heffer from being sold for food to market.

It is just a shame that Nickelodeon has stopped airing these cartoons anymore. No doubt about it, they are still as funny as anything else that should be popular on television right now. Hopefully, the orange network will air another few new ones to the mix.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rocko's Modern Life: With Friends Like These [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This has got to be one of the best cartoons ever! This show should be on the top fifty best cartoons! I can't belive that it has been twelve years and no sign of a DVD release. I think this show had the best theme song: Rocko's Modern Life!!!! Rocko's Modern Life, doo,doo,doo,do,do It has one of my favorites when Heffer stays at Rocko's pad because his family rents out his room. I love it! sighhh I wish here was any hope.Nickelodeon, I want my childhood back!!!
