Rockos

Rockos refers to a fictional animated television series created by Joe Murray. The show originally aired on Nickelodeon from 1993 to 1996 and later on CBS. It centers on the life of Rocko, a wallaby who emigrated from Australia to the United States. The series is known for its surreal humor, adult-oriented jokes, and social commentary disguised within its often bizarre storylines.

The main characters include Rocko, his loyal but dim-witted dog Spunky, his neurotic best friend Heffer Wolfe, and his ex-girlfriend, the ambitious and greedy Filburt. Their adventures often involve navigating everyday life in their quirky town of O-Town, dealing with jobs, relationships, and the general absurdities of their world. The show frequently parodied popular culture and tackled mature themes such as consumerism, environmentalism, and media saturation.

Rockos was praised for its innovative animation style, distinctive voice acting, and its ability to appeal to both children and adults. Despite its relatively short original run, the series has maintained a cult following and is often remembered as a distinctive and influential program from the 1990s Nickelodeon era. A revival series, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, was released on Netflix in 2019, continuing the characters' stories in a modern context.
