Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life was an animated series on Nickelodeon that ran for four seasons from 1993-1997. One of the more famous things about the show was that The B-52's did the opening theme song after the first season. The show concentrated on the life of a wallaby named Rocko trying to survive everyday modern life in the city of O-Town. It was created by Joe Murray and was based on his own childhood in Australia. The show was renowned as one of Nickelodeon's freshest, most offbeat offerings, as well as being laden with suggestive double entendres. Characters Rocko: A wallaby who has emigrated to the United States from Australia; usually works at Kind of a Lot O' Comics, although he has had other jobs, including being a product tester at Conglom-O and being an underwear model. Heffer Wolfe: Rocko's best friend, a not-too-bright steer who loves to eat and party. Filburt Shellbache: Rocko's other best friend, a neurotic turtle; started out as a background character and became a main player in the second season. He lives in a trailer and was married to Dr. Hutchinson in the third season, with whom he had four children. Spunky: Rocko's really stupid dog; a whippet. Ed Bighead: Rocko's neighbor who hates him. Ed works at Conglom-O - motto: "We Own You". Bev Bighead: Ed's wife, a boisterous redhead who enjoys flirting with other men. Chuck & Leon: Two chameleons who, like their species, adapt very well to many situations (usually to make a quick buck). They run a variety of businesses throughout the show. Dr. Hutchinson: Paula Hutchinson is a cat. She married Filburt in the third season of the show, much to their respective families' annoyance. They had four kids together: three sons and one daughter. She had a variety of jobs, including being a dentist and a surgeon. She has a hook for one of her hands. She was voiced by Linda Wallem. Wolfe Family: The Wolfe family adopted and raised Heffer. Virginia is the mom and always treats Heffer like a little kid. George is the father, who would like Hef to grow up and get out of the house. There is also Peter and Cindy, brother and sister, but not much is known about them. They also have a grandpa named Hiram but called Willie; he frequently refers to Rocko as a beaver. Ralph Bighead: Ralph is Ed and Bev Bighead's son. He was disowned by Ed for not wanting to work for Conglom-O, so he went to Holl-O-wood to become a cartoonist. He created a cartoon called The Fatheads. Creator Joe Murray does the voice of Ralph. Bloaty the Tick and Squirmy the Ringworm: Two parasites who live on and in Spunky. Really Really Big Man: A superhero that lives in O-Town. He is very big and is depicted as a kind of political drawing superhero. Peaches: Satan; he's in charge of "Heck". The Hopping Hessian and the talking leg: A one-legged ghost from the Revolutionary War who lurks beyond the old Foto-Hut and a talking leg with a face on the foot who portrays his lost limb. Flecko: A fly with a glass eye who lives in Rocko's house. Earl the Dog: A mutt, initially homeless, who enjoys mauling Rocko and was adopted by Bev Bighead in the second season; Ed hates him.
