Synopsis

Focuses on a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving common life experiences that become adventures in the babies' imaginations. Adults in the series are almost always unaware of what the children are up to; however, this only provides more room for the babies to explore and discover their surroundings.

Felix Saenz Rugrats was one of those cartoons I grew up watching as a kid. Before SpongeBob, Nickelodeon had this show which last for 14 years and it was successful. It was one of the original Nicktoons to be produced. The series follow a group of babies going on adventures by themselves without their parents knowing. As a show itself, its not perfect. I loved the earlier seasons the most especially before the 1998 movie. Come season 6, the quality did became lesser, but it was still good. Seasons 7-9, however, are really boring to watch, since there's recycled stories, and uninspiring writing. It can get repetitive in general, in which most of it have to involved the babies doing something, Angelica try to stop whatever they're doing, etc. Animation wise, it is trippy and art style is unique at the time that it was never on-model. Writing was at its peak during seasons 2-3. Early episodes have its bump, but still had its charm. Seasons 4-6 while weaker in writing still had its Rugrats feel for the most part., even if the latter does become to feel tired. Once you get to the post-Paris movie seasons, the writing fell apart and you'll be disinterested for 70% of the time. The characters are likable for the most part unless we're talking about Angelica and maybe her parents. Voice acting can be obnoxious at times, but they still pull it off during emotional moments. IMO, it's still one of Klasky Csupo's magnum opus. I only recommend seasons 1-6 though and the first movies are classic (avoid the crossover movie with The Wild Thornberrys).
Lee Eisenberg "Rugrats" is the sort of thing that you might find entertaining when you're nine years old, but not afterwards. It seems like the shows on Nickelodeon were just long commercials. If I had children, I most certainly would not let them watch any of these. This story of babies and how they interpret things gets old pretty quickly. The animated shows that remained watchable over the years - Rocky & Bullwinkle, The Flintstones, The Simpsons, South Park - did so because they were and are clever. Not so with "Rugrats", "Ren and Stimpy" or "Doug". If I ever have to sit through this again, I'll want to then watch an Ingmar Bergman movie to wash the stupidity out of my head.
tanqianpeng I definitely recommend the early episodes of this series to younger kids, as it shows how the world is like in a baby's mind. Sometimes, it can also appeal to older audiences as well. The adults, are pretty realistic, and I could tell that they are trying to care for their kids. It also showed how the simplest of the ideas can be turned into the best of things. It was a pretty charming series in the early 90s, and I could understand many of the characters well. But, why is it not a full 10? The movie introduced a Great Gazoo named Dil, who was the main focus of some episodes although he did not do anything useful. 2/10 for that. Soon, everything was all about babysitting Dil. He killed the whole show, Kimi added the final nail into the coffin, and the less said about Taffy the better. Regardless, the early seasons do deserve the gems, and I recommend episodes from there. Do not watch the Dil seasons and All Grown Up, as they are abysmal enough to reduce my satisfaction with the series.
GravityLoudHouseLover1 Hello Today I'm reviewing a Classic Nicktoon that was on for 13 years it's called Rugrats. A show loved this as a kid I still love today. This show was Four about four babies named Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster and Phil and Lil Devillie and there Angelica tommy mean older cousin. I remember watch this my sister on Nickelodeon and on VHS as a kid. This show also three movie The first one came out in 1998 when I was 2 years old. Then the second movie came out in 2000 when was 4 and also owned' this movie as a kid On VHS. Some people didn't like when they added Dil Tommy's Younger brother and Kimi Chuckie' sister but still like at that point. BOTTOM RUGRATS is Childhood CLASSIC it gets 10/10 stars.
