Rocko’s Modern Life – Season 1 on DVD 6/21

If you have children who were born in the 90’s you probably have heard of Rocko’s Modern Life. My oldest, Zack, was born in 1999 however he was fortunate enough to experience Rocko is all of his glory thanks to it’s being aired on Nickelodeon. Rocko’s Modern Life centers around the adventures of Rocko, a wallaby and his life in the city of O-Town.

Now, this wonderful series is being made available on a 2 disc dvd set by Shout Factory! The set features all 26 wild and wacky adventures.

My children have enjoyed watching the entire first season of Rocko’s Modern Life over the last week have even pointed out that they recognize some of the people doing the character voice-overs from other popular Nickelodeon shows. The hit series boasts an all-star voice cast – Carlos Alazraqui (CatDog, Reno 911), Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants, Transformers animated series), Charlie Adler (The Super Hero Squad Show, Transformers), and Doug Lawrence (SpongeBob SquarePants, Camp Lazlo).

Enjoy the clips of Rocko’s Modern Life!

He really is.
From what I’ve heard, he always has been.

Yes, there was a little bit of jock mixed in there too.

He may have played football and rugby but he was also very much into things like G.I. Joe, Star Wars and of course…..
Transformers!

Transformers Beast Wars began airing when he was 11 years old…..and HE.LOVED.IT.

Needless to say now that it is available on DVD, he has introduced Alexander to the show as well….and he is HOOKED!

Hiatus

As you can probably tell, I have been gone for a bit.
I’ve been busy spending some time with the kids now that they are out of school for the Summer.
Oh and there is that whole being pregnant thing and I’ve been a little sick here and there and I also hurt my back about 2 weeks ago, but am doing much better now.

Since I’ve been gone I thought I would share some pics of what’s been going on!

Zack played the part of William the Conqueror in the living museum at school.

 

The Libby graduated from 5th Grade and is ready to move on to middle school this Fall.

We spent the first weekend in June swimming and fishing.

So far we are having a great Summer!

Oh and be sure to watch for a baby update this week!

The Wild Thornberry’s Season 1 on DVD NOW!

When Zack and Libby were little, I spent A LOT of time watching The Wild Thornberry’s on Nickelodeon. The show became a part of our everyday life.
I still have episodes recorded on VHS.
That’s how much we watched it.
Needless to say they were very excited to share the show with their little brother and watch all of season 1 this past Sunday.

The Wild Thornberry’s follows the Thornberry family as they travel the world in their Communications Vehicle (or CommVee) looking for rare animals to film. After an encounter with an African shaman, their youngest child Eliza was given the power to speak to animals! Every episode in this adventure-packed DVD set follows Eliza as she comes face-to-face with an assortment of animals, continents and danger. Encounter wildlife in all its natural glory and eavesdrop on Eliza’s conversations with silverback gorillas, pythons, crested grebes, tapirs, capybaras, antelopes and opossums while the CommVee travels on!

Here is a quick clip

This show if funny and educational all in one and I am super excited that I had the chance to share this show with Alexander along with Zack and Libby.
