Many years ago, Nickelodeon released a feature film featuring a young tech wizard named Jimmy Neutron. The film was a modest success that it spawned a TV series. I used to like that TV series until I became very less interested in boy characters played by non-boys. The show seemed destined to have a long run until the studio producing the series as well as some early Nick shows closed due to bankruptcy.
Fast forward to the 2010s, we come across this show named Rusty Rivets. The title character Rusty is a lad who has a passion for building devices which he uses in his adventures. Joining him is his sidekick Ruby. He also has pets who are robots created by him. Some of these robot pets include a T-rex, and a dog. Seeing that tech-savvy Rusty and that dog certainly brought back memories of Jimmy Neutron who also has a pet robot dog. I guess who ever made this series has a bit of liking to that earlier aforementioned show.
As a series, Rusty Rivets is decent. The characters designs and the sci-fi themes are cool. But if there's anything that prevents me from coming to it regularly, it's the lack of cuteness.
