Prior to this second season disc set coming to my mailbox, I don't think I could have fully recounted to you the plots of any of the episodes.but somehow something stayed there in my head, telling me it was a great show (as opposed to the Looney Tunes stuff I grew up on and adored―those are completely burned into my brain). I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Rocko's Modern Life since it originally aired back in the mid-90s (when my eldest daughter and son were just little kids), but I was surprised at how fond were my vague memories of the show. Rocko's neighbor, however, Ed Bighead (voice talent of Charlie Adler), of Conglom-O Corporation ("We Own You") is no friend of Rocko's, and every chance he gets, he tries to sabotage any good times Rocko manages to eke out of his complicated modern life―with Ed's loud-mouthed, pushy wife, Bev (Adler) wishing she could be the cause of some of those "good times" for the cute, cuddly Rocko. Lawrence), a psychosomatic hypochondriac who's constantly nauseated, is as equally adept as Heffer in getting Rocko into trouble. Even though he's relatively quiet compared to the garrulous Heffer, Rocko's other friend, Filburt Turtle (voice talent of Mr. Dim-witted, gluttonous steer Heffer Wolfe (voice talent of Tom Kenny) is Rocko's best friend, but his almost zero impulse control wreaks havoc on Rocko's staid existence. However, his comfort zone is continually challenged by the intrusion of his wacky neighbors and friends.
Soft-spoken 20-year-old Australian wallaby émigré Rocko (voice talent of Carlos Alazraqui) just wants to putter around his house, take care of his relatively brainless dog, Spunky (Alazraqui), run a jackhammer in his backyard for fun, and work as a clerk at Kind of a Lot o' Comics. A personal favorite when it originally aired, Rocko's Modern Life still plays well today, nearly twenty years later (yikes!), so fans and newcomers should find this collection to their liking. Consistently amusing second season from one of the best toons of Nickelodeon's "golden age." Nickelodeon and Shout! Factory keep the fun going with Rocko's Modern Life: Season Two, a two-disc, 13-episode (although it really works out to 23 short toons) collection that should please fans.who aren't too upset about some of these still being edited (at least that's how I understand it).
