Why did I NOT see this show back when I was a kid? Seriously!!!
Well, to tell the truth, I lived in Ireland for nine years WITHOUT Sky...so most of the awesome stuff never really aired much on RTE 1 or 2, the only channels we had for our crappy TV set.
Also, I never EVER heard of it at the time...the only Nick shows I knew were Doug, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold! yet....no Rocko...
But only just last year, I discovered it thanks to YouTube and one of the dudes here on Cool Ape. And giving it a search on Wiki, I still wasn't sure if I was to check it out or not. Was it worth checking out?
Yes, Joe Murray is terrific, he really is, the characters, the storyline, the voicework, everything was just brilliant, after a few watches, I got slightly hooked on the show. I can't believe i never saw it when I was young, it's a wonderful show.
Of course, like all the masterpieces of the 90s, it was cancelled...
How many of you remember this show? Or at least watched it?

I remember it ocasionally coming on TV kind of off-and-on around... maybe 5, 6 years ago or so...don't remember watching too much of it back then since I wasn't really much into Nicktoons, mostly Rugrats and Thornberries putting me off of it cos they were so ugly animated and kind of boring to me at the time.... That and I was more busy gaming then watching TV around that time, haha... =P But I've started getting into it more recently, and it's a fantastically funny show =)

But Rocko...just wow, Chokey Chicken LMFAO...jesus christ...

The cartoon was pretty low brow to me because it was only on the Nickoldeon channel, and I was a kid that grew up on CITV :B which was free. I occasionly saw Rocko on Channel 4 but it was only on around school time making me think it was more for adults then kids

But that's why when we're adults, we can look back and think...I LOVE THIS SHOW still hahaaa... Here's one example

"Turn the page, wash your hands!"
Just one of those shows that was just too good to be gone. I remember when my sister and I used to sit there in the living room watching it to death, it's just that funny.
If I was to choose any favourite character, I'd say probably Filbert or Heffer.

Reminder, once you get hooked, DON'T overdo it...I mean it, you lose your self esteem very quickly =P
