As a kid growing up in the '90s, "Rocko's Modern Life" was the staple of a healthy TV diet for me. Nickelodeon had a series of cartoons at the time, aptly dubbed Nicktoons, that will remain synonymous with my adolescence. "Rocko's Modern Life" is one with which I particularly remember being completely enthralled. Looking back at it after a 15-year hiatus, I would lump the show in with the same brilliance exhibited by Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip. That is to say, I am able to enjoy the show just as much today as I did when I was a kid, only in completely different facets. In 1993, anything in the same animated vein as "Ren and Stimpy" was right up my alley, and "Rocko's Modern Life" had that overall look perfected.
