"What I have found by bringing these characters back is that it's not so much about nostalgia, but a sense that they still feel relevant and fresh to me, and after twenty years, they can't wait to comment on modern life in the 21st century. "I'm very happy to be rejoining Rocko and my friends from O-Town again," said creator and executive producer Joe Murray when the special was announced. In Static Cling, after being in space for around 20 years, Rocko and his friends attempt to conform to an even more modern life in O-Town, where coffee shops are on every corner, food trucks offer multi-layered tacos, touch-screen O-Phones are being upgraded on a near-constant basis, an instant-print kiosk has replaced Rocko's old job at Kind-of-a-Lot-O-Comics, and radioactive energy drinks turn their consumers into mutants. The series followed the misadventures of Rocko, an Australian wallaby, and his friends Heffer, a cow raised by wolves, and Filburt, a neurotic turtle.


Rocko's Modern Life aired from 1993-1996 on Nickelodeon. Now its a little strange for this Nicktoons kid to be tuning in to Netflix to watch a resurgence of Rocko & Co.
