4.0 out of 5 stars Mecha-Madness, April 29, 2003

This review is from: Rocko's Modern Life: Machine Madness [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For Rocko's Modern Life, it has always remained as one of my favorite cartoons in the history of Nickelodeon. Still, many people still think of the wallaby as a memory. Nevertheless, the cartoon still is something I always tune towards on video for a little taste of joy and humor. Joe Murray created one of the zaniest characters ever in animation, and this video shows no lies what so ever.

The video: Machine Madness, consists of three cartoons from the 1993 debut season of Rocko's Modern Life. There is just so much joy and humor within each and every single cartoon. The first episode, Suck-O-Matic, Rocko buys a new vacumm from an ad he saw on television. Unfortunately, it isn't as easily good-looking as it seems, nor is it nice. Soon as he'd expect it, the machine would have a mind of its own.

Unbalanced Load is the second cartoon. In this one, Rocko and his dog Spunky go to the laundromat to clean a whole lot of clothes. Ironically, while he is doing his clothes, a strange group of characters try to get his lucky shirt, and destroy it. That isn't all, Rocko also has to deal with a washer that actually hops away with his clothes.

The final cartoon Trash-O-Madness, showcases Rocko and Spunky trying to gather up all the garbage they can actually find, without trying to get near a bully dog. Unfortunately, Rocko doesn't realize that he actually puts Spunky within the trash comapctor, and when he notices, the bully dog tries to swallow Spunky whole. Thankfully, he got Spunky out. Either that, or there wouldn't be anymore cartoons.

It is just a shame that they don't make any newer episodes of this zany cartoon, or have any of them hit the video department. Still, it is just an amazing display of joy and heartache. I laughed pretty hard, that I almost snorted milk out of my nose when I first saw this cartoon. Still, Rocko's Modern Life will always remain a hit in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Show..., March 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rocko's Modern Life: Machine Madness [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Rocko has been taken off of Nickelodeon's schedule and rarely, even if ever, comes on at 5:30 am, now. The utter stupidity of Spongebob has kicked Rocko out. Rocko's Modern Life is the best TV show (animated) to be roduced in a long time. I am one of the shows biggest fans. If you ever have the opportunity to get a video of Rocko, do it. All of the videos available on Amazon are top quality, considering the show was top-quality.
