An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Carlos Alazraqui sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Paramount Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Rocko's Modern Life earns its spot. Rocko's Modern Life gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Rocko is a wallaby who has emigrated to America from Australia. He lives in O-Town and tries to get through life but, of course, comes across a multitude of dilemmas and misadventures he must get through. Other characters include Rocko's best friend, Heffer, a steer who has been raised by wolves, Filbert, a paranoid hypochondriac turtle, Rocko's faithful (but none-too-bright) dog Spunky, and Ed Bighead who detests Rocko and hates having him for a next door neighbor. Between them, Carlos Alazraqui and Tom Kenny carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 4 seasons (1993–1996), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in Rocko's Modern Life is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Rocko's Modern Life respects your intelligence. If you have already watched I Am Weasel, Rocko's Modern Life is a natural next step. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Carlos Alazraqui sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
