KIKI! ! ! YOU'RE BACK! ! !

*Tackle glomp*

Where in the world have ya been, Kiki-Kramer?

 

[CensoredAlso]

Yeah I remember you doing that, Kiki! Hi, btw! Hehe

I also remember the Big Head's son who made it big in show business and refused to work at his father's company Conglomo, lol. Man, I haven't thought of that in ages!

Mr. Bighead (seeing that his son kept the company doughnut):: You...you kept it! You do care about Conglomo!

Son: No, I don't care about Conglomo...I care about you...

Even on a crazy show like Rocko, that was touching.

And just in case nobody was aware, Ralph Bighead was voiced by the show's creator, Joe Murray.

Yeah! Camp Lazlo is like a watered down not as funny Rocko

I give Joe credit for getting back most of the voice actors (At least Carlos and Tom) but he really should have got back the writers too. It's not that I hate Lazlo. It just could be much, much funnier. Plus, I'm getting bored with people doing bad Indian accents (the elephant) for cheap laughs. But I do like the character designs. That's about it.

Ok, I know that everybody is wondering where the heck the Rocko's Modern Life DVDs are? In fact, what about the other Nicktoons on DVD? Where are they at? I mean, other than Spongebob, and the occasional best-of episodes of Rugrats, and some of their newer shows, there aren't ANY Nicktoons on DVD.

Other than Ren and Stimpy, all the DVD's have been of current shows, like Avatar and Fairly Oddparents. And even then, the Avatar box sets are basically just collected volumes of the regular single disk DVD's. FOP is not in Box set form. Spongebob and Ren and Stimpy were the only box set collected season by season disks. Unless you count Invaider Zim, which was handled by another company, sublicensed from Nick.

I used to LOVE that show, it's a great show. My friend and I still quote one of the episodes when Filbert and Rocko are pretending to be married and their fighting and they answer the door to the INS agent and they go "What in the Hellllo?" *sigh* They don't make shows like that anymore.

They won't let them. There are some soubversive things if you look really, really hard for them. I think the major problem is that networks just don't give animators, cartoonists, etc. the chance to make these cartoons for the multiple problems I ranted about a million times already. So, in the event of scrambling for ratings, they always seem to get quick fix, terrible ideas (My Gym Partner's a Monkey and Squirrel Boy for example- though Squirrel Boy was created by Everrett Peck, and I do want to see one episode eventually), instead of long term successful TV shows. And I think the quality of the work drastically suffers.

The only cartoon I could think of that is anywhere close to Rocko is Family Guy and that's a half-hour show. I looked on TVshowsonDVD.com and they have Rocko ranked 25th in unreleased DVDs that people want. 99% of em want a season set. So, what does THAT tell you. There were only 50-something episodes. Salute Your Shorts was in the top 10 and there were only 20-something episodes of that. Just make a fricken complete series DVD. I'm sure that the cast can provide extras and commentarty. A where are they now featurette would be AWESOME.

It wasn't Cow and Chicken that had puppeteers, it was the other Cartoon Network show, Sheep in the Big City. It was created by Sesame Street cartoonist, Mo Willems and he had a few Sesame Street cast members do voices on that series like Ruth Buzzi, Joey Mazzarino, James Godwin, Fran Brill, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, and one time Jerry Nelson.

Yeah, I meant that one. And it makes sense that they would all be on a Mo Willems cartoon as he is a former writer, and current director and animator for Sesame Street. And Mrs. Buzzi still does shorts of his on SS, too.

The show kinda inspired me to start a fanfic about Rocko traveling to Nigeria.

Okay, Mr. Bighead gets an e-mail (Some of you may see where this is going) promising millions if he helps a Nigerian woman smuggle her money out of the country. He buys into the scheme but discovers that he has to fly to Nigeria to meet the woman and finish the deal. He has work to do so he is desperate for a way out. He finds Rocko and decides to convince him to act as his proxy as to help a "damsel in distress" (in other words the motivations of Mr. Bighead and Rocko are different) - What neither of them know is in fact an organize crime ring posing as a poor Nigerian woman is seeking to defraud Mr. Bighead of his money.

So this story would be a setup for a kind of cat and mouse game between the scammers, Mr. Bighead, Rocko, and Sheila (the lady from Wallaby on Wheels - she has a chance encounter with Rocko at Atlanta Airport and is trying to find out why he is going to Nigeria)

If this setup sounds crazy, it sure is crazy and I think it could fit the universe well.
