Synopsis

Focuses on a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving common life experiences that become adventures in the babies' imaginations. Adults in the series are almost always unaware of what the children are up to; however, this only provides more room for the babies to explore and discover their surroundings.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
ShangLuda Admirable film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
trooper5783 I love cartoons. I really do- whether it would be the classics from the 20s-60s, the Hanna- Barbera shows, heck, even most classic Nickelodeon shows. This, however, is simply putrid and vile. As a kid, I hated this show, and I hate it even more today. There are several reasons as to why this cartoon sucks so bad- the crudely drawn animation, the annoying and oblivious characters, the overuse of bathroom jokes, and finally- the fact that people say this is a great show, even though it's overstayed it's welcome. Sorry, 90s kids, I agree with most of the shows you enjoyed in your childhoods, but this one is a true stinker. The "just for kids" excuse is not going to work on this one- there's lots of adult humor that's far too juvenile for children, and the jokes overall in this show fail to work more often than not- although the occasional chuckle does occur in a couple of episodes, admittedly, and that's the one thing that saves Rugrats from getting a 1 out of 10.
nkpb1607 This show was fantastic. I started watching it from about 2 years old, and from then on, so I pretty much have many baby and childhood memories of this show. I loved the show. It had a lot of amazing episodes that were very entertaining. All of the babies are interesting and likable in their own ways, as with the other characters. I grew to this show more than I would with any other show from my childhood if I'm completely honest. We even had all the VHS tapes years ago.The Rugrats Movie was quite good, although the addition of Dil was quite unnecessary and therefore kind of killed the show. Rugrats in Paris was even better than The Rugrats Movie, I enjoyed it a lot and still do. And I thought the addition of Kira and Kimi was interesting as a kid, but now I realised that adding new characters into a show like Rugrats just makes it dull and less interesting because the classic episodes only had the 4 original Rugrats and that's how we preferred it.So yes the show went downhill after Dil was introduced, and even more downhill after Kimi was introduced, but those 2 movies were still great. But nothing will beat the classic Rugrats, 1991-1994. THOSE were the greatest. Those episodes are the reason so many people like it.Overall the Rugrats is a great show, IMO the best show that ever aired on Nickelodeon, and the 1991-1994 era of the show is pure classic.
Benjamin Black Hello children, men children, and women children alike; it's time to review productions brought to us by Nickelodeon, the first kids' network! Let's begin right by talking about one of Nickelodeon's hottest shows ever, "Rugrats!" If you don't know what this show was about, you should be ashamed of yourself; but I'll fill you in, anyway. The show features a group of babies and a couple of preschoolers who engage themselves in chaos and adventures. This band of toddlers includes Tommy, the brave leader, his younger brother Dil, who can't speak yet; Chuckie, the scared one, his adventure-loving sister Kimi; twins Phil and Lil, the disgusting ones; Angelica, the 3-year-old trouble-maker; and Susie, 3-year-old the level-headed smart one.Before we get to the good stuff, let's quickly go over the bad/not-so-good stuff. First of all, the continuity. At the beginning of the series, Tommy, Phil, and Lil are 1, Chuckie is 2, and Susie and Angelica are 3. How did they wind up going back to being 0, 1, and 2 before the end of the series? Secondly, a lot of people say that the later episodes are bad. While I won't say they're bad, I don't think they're as good as some of the episodes earlier in the series. They're good, they're fun; but they didn't have as much focus or thought as the earlier episodes did. Finally...the parents. The parents on this show are horrible. It's ironic because they're not designed to be awful parents like the parents of "Family Guy" or "The Fairly Oddparents;" we're not supposed to ask why in the world these people are parents. They're good, decent, honest human beings who we all can identify with. They're every day people just like us. But...do they ever watch their kids? Ever?! No, wait, I take that back; if the main characters were kids, the parents would be awful. But no. Our main characters are BABIES!!! For all the problems and adventures the parents let their kids get into, I'm surprised the babies haven't died yet! Of course, no parent is perfect, but how many crazy adventures on this show have Stu, Didi, and the rest of the parents allowed their kids to get into - and that's not even mentioning the movies!! Good grief, said Charlie Brown, these people need to be reported!Now let's get to the good stuff! There are way too many good things about this show, and I'm sure I won't mention all of them. I'll try to talk about as many as I can, though. First of all, these characters are great! I love them! Again, they're all identifiable, they're funny, and they're memorable. I don't know how people generally feel about Kimi, but I enjoy her. She's fun, she's adventurous, but she still seems to bring something new. Chuckie has to learn to adapt to change and think of someone other than himself. I also love Susie. She is a fantastic role model. She's smart, kind, and caring, but she's not perfect. She still learns and grows. I've got to say, though, my favorite character is probably Phil! Why? Because he's funny as crud! I love the quick remarks he makes to everything!TOMMY: Uh, guys, do bushes have feet? PHIL: I don't think so. I didn't even know babies grew on trees.He is cool!Some of my favorite episodes, much like a lot of other people, are the holiday episodes. This show really captures the essence and heart of the holidays they celebrate! You understand the importance of the holiday, the reason they're so important to people, and you understand what the holidays are about; whether it be Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Mothers' Day, etc. I also love the episodes where the babies learn something about life. One of my favorite episodes is probably the classic Mothers' Day episode, where Chuckie learned about his late mother. That was such a wonderful, classy way to handle a subject matter like that, and it worked really well! It was a gem!I'm surprised how quickly "Rugrats" left after the series ended. This was Nickelodeon's most successful show until "SpongeBob" surpassed its greatness. I really like this show. It was smart, clever, and a lot of fun. I'm glad it's playing on TeeNick's "'90s are All That," otherwise I'd only have the 3 movies and 2 video tapes I have of the show...Though, does anybody know where I can find this on video or DVD? If you do, let me know and then go get a copy for yourself; you'll love it! God bless you, and much love! BOOYIKA!
audgirl99 I have loved Rugrats since I was a young kid. I still like it and it's my favorite show to this day. The first 4 or so seasons were as the title explained, excellent. That would make it 10/10. However, parts of it went downhill. In 1998, a movie called The Rugrats Movie was released. This was a pretty decent movie. The Rugrats Movie introduced Dil, Tommy's younger brother. In my opinion, this did nothing to improve the show. He whines a bit too much and seems to ruin the fun for the others. That deducts a star from my rating. In 2000, there was another movie attempt, this time a sequel. Called Rugrats in Paris, this was better than the first movie. This was pretty much the cutoff point of it being entertaining and funny to watch. Kimi didn't do anything to improve the show either. She seemed to copy Tommy and lead the group in adventures. When the first season premiered in 1991 all the way until 1994, then when it was revived in 1997 all the way until The Rugrats Movie, the Rugrats went on all sorts of adventures, pretty much to any place one could think of. They went to the beach, the movies, a restaurant, and even a car wash(That's my favorite episode, by the way.). Once The Rugrats Movie premiered, the Rugrats didn't really go out much. They seemed to just go to boring places and not cause much trouble such as at the mall or in the backyard. That took away another star. I would recommend this show to anyone, young as Tommy or old as Grandpa Lou. This has Jokes for kids and adults. However, most people I know don't like this show. LOL
