Rocko's Modern Life was an amazing show back in the 90's that many people including myself loved. The show has never aired on TV for over 20 years and fans have been begging the Network to bring back the show with it's original creator. Eventually the Network decided to do just that, by releasing a TV special made by the creator.
Now replace the title Rocko's Modern Life with The Fatheads (Rocko's favorite show) and you pretty much get the plot of Static Cling, and where the creator got his inspiration from.
This TV Special is pretty much about change, and how we must always embrace it and we must accept it and for the most part I feel this TV Special does a decent job at giving that message in it's short 45 minutes. And it's quite fitting cause there is no doubt a ton of Rocko's fans going into this TV Special made by the original creator thinking its gonna be exactingly like the 90's Classic only to be confronted by the truth that blind fantasy is impossible (unless time travel). Because much like in the TV Special even the original creators never stay the same.
I do wish the special was much longer (90 minutes maybe), but as a fan of Rocko's Modern Life, this TV Special was great and I'm happy to see one of my favorite 90's cartoon return from a 20 year absents even if it might just be this one little special. In the end I accept the change.
