As a kid, one of my doctors was attempting to explain something about my albinism, and I misunderstood him horribly, thinking he meant that all albinos die at the age of 25, so I was extremely depressed for a couple of days before my mother figured out what happened and straightened me out.
After the premise, the most defining aspect of the show is its soundtrack. Being an MTV production, they had already paid for the rights to play the music, so why not use it in their original programs? The episodes featured a mix of contemporary tracks from several genres, with the bulk coming from the rock and alternative categories, but there is a little rap and electronica sprinkled about as well.
Also, the network couldn’t resist putting a clip from Beavis and Butthead in an episode as well as having someone play the Rocko’s Modern Life video game , but with a controller that certainly doesn’t belong to an SNES. This particular style does create some interesting visuals. I remember watching the premiere and thinking how much cooler Ed’s birthday party looked than anything I’d ever been to, the wall of TVs was also amazing, and I came close to digging the dream sequences he had .
There are scenes where I feel like the dialogue legitimately hurts the stronger aspects of the characters. I can’t be too harsh on the deliveries because I’m not sure how most actors would have worked with this stuff. The word choice is almost clever in spots, but every other line feels like it is trying too hard, and in a show where everyone is either written as being ‘too cool’ or just overreacting to tiny events, the character writing simply has a dull edge.
