RELATED: 18 Things You Never Knew About Rocko's Modern Life This nostalgic revisiting of Rocko and friends has given the original show some new life while providing exposure to new, younger audiences for the first time. But thanks to the recent release of the one-off TV special known as Static Cling - released on Netflix in 2019 - fans were reminded of its wacky sense of humor and unique charm. This colorful series, which starred an uptight wallaby, tended to fade into obscurity following its brief run from '93-'96. Kenny described the show's impact in an interview, saying, "Rocko's Modern Life was just one of those shows that were the first break for a lot of people who went on to do other stuff in the business.For several years, the zany Nickelodeon cartoon known as Rocko's Modern Lifewas somewhat forgotten outside of diehard fans of the network, as well as some early 90's-era kids and teens. The show was the fourth Nicktoon to premiere. In addition, Murray picked many newcomer voice actors, such as Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui, who have gone on to become very popular. The show's animation stylistically features crooked architecture. The network gave the staff a large amount of creative freedom, the writers targeting both children and adults. Joe Murray initially created the title character for an unpublished comic book series in the late 1980s, and later reluctantly pitched the series to Nickelodeon, who were looking for edgier cartoonists for their new Nicktoons block.
The show is laden with adult humor, including double entendres, innuendos, and satirical social commentary. The show explores his American life as well as the lives of his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog, Spunky. Rocko's Modern Life is based around the surreal, parodic adventures of an anthropomorphic, Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko, and his new life in the city of O-Town. The show aired for four seasons between 19 on Nickelodeon. Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated series created by Joe Murray.
