My childhood refuses to die. Very good.

 

[sphagnum]

Wonder if Invader Zim has a chance of getting a movie too.

We're in a 90s nostalgia period now. Give it another decade.

 

[Pillville]

Loved this show. It was like a cartoon version of Seinfeld. See Kramer, Jerry, and George above.

 

[MrSaturn99]

WHAT THE WHAT

 

[MulderYuffie]

Please be good! Please be good!

 

[intheinbetween]

I never imagined this could happen!! so pumped for this!!!

 

[Transistor]

I would pay a stupid amount of money for the entire series on Blu-ray

 

[Giganteus]

Oh God, my heart. Really hoping this turns out well. This is one of my all-time favorite TV shows.

 

[harSon]

They're remaking the entire 90s

 

[Nanashrew]

This page is a reminder at how freakin' dirty the show got. And parents let us watch it

And what a great show it was! Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby!

 

[Tom Nook]

WAT?!

Retain the dirty jokes, please.

 

[Galactic Specter]

What's with Nickelodeon digging up their old cartoons all of sudden?

I'm half-expecting a Rocket Power TV Movie about Otto's anti-shoobie nationalist group.

 

[ZarKryn7]

SPUNKY!!!! SPUNKY!!!!

 

[DrForester]

I FEEL LIKE DANCING!

 

[Oh God Why]

Between making a 1000 episodes for Spongebob and the Fairly Odd Parents and reviving their old classic cartoons, just how much have Nickelodeon's new cartoons sucked?

 

[Dishwalla]

The whole thing has been released on DVD, albeit with some edits. Blu Ray seems unlikely.

 

[Astral Dog]

😁

 

[Bluekaveli]

Maybe my grandma and I can watch it together like we always did when I was a kid.

 

[cbrun44]

Yes!!! Can't wait to watch this with my kids. My 5 year old daughter will love this.

There's a lot of money in 90s nostalgia. See: Pokémon Go success and Power Rangers movie being a thing

 

[sibarraz]

I remember when it dawned on me that the clown episode was just one big metaphor for being gay. It was a really weird realization.

Which episode?

 

[Ferrio]

One of my favorite quotes of the series is actually pretty depressing, and stuck with me since it was so outta place in the show:

Rocko: Mean old bugger, I hope I never get old and crotchety.

Old Man: You got a lot to learn there, young fella.

Rocko: Yeah like what? How to be rude and nasty without even trying.

OldMan: Well you are going to old one day junior, if you're lucky. And then you too are going to feel the heartbreak of a prune diet, or lost memories, or the pain and loneliness of losing a loved one. Maybe then you'll understand why old timers aren't always the bright ray of sunshine you find yourself to be eh boy?

Which episode?

Closet Clown, S4E7

Loud House, Harvey Beaks, and TMNT 12 are really really good. Everything else.. not so much.

 

[Jarmel]

Now give me dat Invader Zim.

 

[muteki]

Somebody must have been reading that thread the other day.

 

[Robot Pants]

My dogs are named Rocco and Spunky.
We will all watch together.

 

[Epcott]

Cameo by Lazlo, pleeerase!

 

[N.Domixis]

Cameo by Lazlo, pleeerase!

you mean camp lazlo? These two shows had similar looking characters.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

B-52's theme or bust

 

[Dishwalla]

B-52's theme or bust

Nah, I like the B-52s but first season theme was best theme.

 

[sibarraz]

Same creator

 

[Melkezadek]

OMG

Rocko was the greatest show they had. I'm so fucking excited right now.

 

[Zubz]

Glad to see they recognize Rocko as the best Nicktoon (Hey Arnold's been cold on the table for over a decade; this is their first total nostalgia grab for a Nicktoon). That said, it was episodic; there's no narrative to have. It'd also probably be targeted towards Nick's modern audience like LotHT, so the bite will be gone, too.

Wonder if Invader Zim has a chance of getting a movie too.

It has a comic; even if Zim is 00-level New Tens, it's still not a 90's show. That's all it's getting for now.

 

[TreIII]

TROPICAL PLUMBER, AY~! FLUSH YOUR TROUBLES AWAY~!

 

[Shig]

 

[Ran rp]

It's going to look like shit.

 

[Richie]

It's going to look like shit.

That they go out of their way to specify it's going to be animated OUT of Nick's Studios actually gives me hope they'll give it the treatment needed to really shine, a lá John Dilworth with Courage the Cowardly Dog. I could be reading it wrong though.

 

[Polioliolio]

Now this I'm excited about!

 

[TheSeks]

Ready for the TV-MA version!

Yeah, the only way I could see this working is Nick airing it in the "prime-time" slot of like 10PM for the adults that grew up on it so they don't complain about their kids seeing something like that.

 

[Fitts]

Yes! I hope they have a character who wants to build a wall to keep out sea mammals.

 

[Dishwalla]

They could air it on The Splat, wouldn't have as much reach as Nickelodeon but it would target it's audience more, with all the nostalgic factor the block carries.

 

[TheSeks]

Yes! I hope they have a character who wants to build a wall to keep out sea mammals.

HEY BUDDY, MY CONSTITUENCY IS SEA MAMMALS!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I was never a big fan of Rocko, but it's nice to see Nickelodeon do stuff like this. We've got the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie, Legends of the Hidden Temple movie, this movie, The Splat, talks of Klasky Csupo coming back to reboot Rugrats. They realized that the kids who grew up with this stuff are adults now and are starting to have kids, Nick's been on a downwards spiral for a while now, hopefully this is enough to float them.

 

[sixteen-bit]

shoutouts to 90s nostalgia

 

[The Artisan]

ah, this used to be one of my favorite shows as a kid. nickelodeon has had its fair share of raunchy fucking shows, ren & stimpy being the prime example which i hated.

rocko's modern life danced on the line of raunchiness a lot, but i enjoyed it

 

[daveo42]

Please don't suck.
Please allow all the dirty jokes they can.

Wouldn't be Rocko's Modern Life without it, which worries me greatly about the movie. Not sure if it'll have all the adult humor the original show did or if they'll make this just for adult fans.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I'm glad millennial are now the best.

 

[sensui-tomo]

i just hope that the guy who did heffer's voice can do it again, he tried doing it at a con a few years back and it sounded really really off (but then again i understand that its been almost 15 + years since doing it... and doing spongebob can really hurt the voice)

 

[Renpatsu]

I AM ELATED.
