The show’s first Halloween episode “Sugar Frosted Frights” has a lot of horror-themed gags and it’s paired with another spooky episode, “Ed is Dead.” One of the show’s funniest episodes is also present in this season in “Fish-N-Chumps.” The boys go fishing, only to find themselves in turn being fished, and all the while Filburt drives Heffer nuts with his enthusiasm for a new watch. Season Three of the show never fails to be funny and the gags are really upped for this third season. The Bigheads are still around as well and get their own shorts to shine and the show even tackles its first musical with the eco-friendly “Zanzibar.” That one, interestingly, is immediately followed by the show’s first dialogue-free short “Fatal Contraption.” Hutchison (Linda Wallem) in “The Big Question” which is immediately followed by “The Big Answer” where the two tie the knot. And for Filburt, Season Three was a big one because he gets engaged to longtime girlfriend Dr. They’re pals through and through, but the two get on each other’s nerves and they frequently fail to see eye to eye with Rocko often getting stuck in the middle. The relationship between Rocko’s best friends, Heffer (Tom Kenny) and Filburt (Doug Lawrence) added a combative element to the mix to differentiate the two. The phrase “insane lunacy” sounds redundant, but for a show like Rocko’s Modern Life the redundancy feels very appropriate.įor an adult, few things are more relatable than car trouble.įor Season Three, the show tackled more real world issues and even managed to strengthen its continuity somewhat. The show is able to mix in real world problems with insane lunacy.
Money is often tight and his job as a clerk at a comic book store hardly feels secure, but somehow he gets by. Season Two saw him deal with thorny issues like immigration as well as some health problems. Rocko (Carlos Alazraqui) is a wallaby from Australia trying to navigate the 90s. In case you need a refresher, Rocko’s Modern Life is a cartoon created by Joe Murray that managed to amass a team of extremely talented people, many of whom went on to create more wonderful television. I suppose it would be better if it wasn’t during a pandemic, but what can you do? The show has been a delight, and while I felt Season Two was pretty much on par with the first season, I think an argument can be made that Season Three is the best one so far. My rewatch of Rocko’s Modern Life really could not have gone better.
The third season of Rocko’s Modern Life originally aired from 1995-1996.
