Rugrats TV Show Review
“The second longest-running animated series on television (behind The Simpsons), and perhaps more responsible for the success of Nickelodeon than any other show, RUGRATS follows the adventures of a group of baby friends led by Tommy Pickles (voiced by Elizabeth Daily), a toddler who hatches more schemes than his child-psychology-studying mother could begin to imagine. Red-haired Chuckie (Christine Cavanaugh) is the timid one, and some of the series' most endearing episodes feature his friends helping him overcome his many fears. Twins, Phil and Lil (Kath Soucie) add some kid-friendly hilarity as they munch on bugs and store food in their diapers. Decidedly less sweet is the infamous Angelica (Cheryl Chase), a bigger kid who can talk to adults or babies and doesn't hesitate to lie to either audience. Although the series focuses mainly on the babies' escapades – often as they wander far from their parents – the show promotes family love and cohesiveness right along with kids' independent spirit. Adults can appreciate the way the series gently pokes fun at neurotic parenting, as well as the inherent humor in trying to raise kids correctly. In regards to Angela's naughty antics, most young viewers will be able to categorize them as "bad behavior.” 4/5 Common Sense Media, recommended for age 5+
