Rocko's Modern Life: Season 1 DVD Review

I remember getting up on Saturday mornings and racing my sister to the living room to watch Saturday morning cartoons. We would turn on Nickelodeon and one show that I remember is Rocko’s Modern Life. Rocko always finds himself in strange situations that are usually brought on by his friends that, for the most part, are clueless to what is going on. I loved watching Rocko’s Modern Life and laughing with my sister. I was sent a copy of Rocko’s Modern Life: Season 1, to review. Its funny because even though it has been years since I have seen these episodes, I can still remember them as if it were yesterday. And I can laugh along with my kids!!! You can own Rocko’s Modern Life: Season 1 on DVD this Tuesday June 21st!!
