Rocket Power

I like Rocket Power, but what happened to Otto and Reggie's mother? Is she dead? Are Ray and her divorced? Are they adopted? I think they were adopted because Otto and Reggie looked like they're black and Ray is white. There has to be a time when they had parents. There has to be why wouldn't there be. But anyway it's a good show to watch, you'll enjoy it. The only flaw is that Klasky and Csupo only make 5 episodes per season. Other than that it's a funny show with great extreme sporters. It can teach you how to do tricks and be a good skater. I still watch it 5 years later and it still makes me laugh at the things they say. I Love Rocket Power!!! and always will.

My first memory of this show--I caught a glimpse of Lars and thought he only had one eye, so I got scared and changed the channel. (Hey, I was 9!) Luckily I gave the show another chance. It ended up being my obsession for...God, how many years did it run? It wasn't particularly clever, not at all, really. Basically every episode consisted of the word "dude", sports, and some sort of small drama that only lasted 15 minutes. But I was hopelessly addicted to it, and to this day I still can't pinpoint why. The cliché "every new person that comes here rocks at sports", the dumb explosion of "SUPER BEEF" or something across the screen...but it was such a great show. Especially if you watched the background--the surfer turning into a dolphin, the UFO beaming up a whale, the fisherman falling into the ocean, the giant fish skull talking...they don't make cartoons like they used to! To this day, Twister is still my favorite cartoon character of all time. He was just so stupid, it was great. Even now, almost 10 years later, I still use the word "dude" in almost every sentence.

This show really encompasses everything of my youth. I remember going on about it all the time, and making my friends watch it. I used to know every single word to "Race Across New Zealand", and could repeat the whole movie at any given point.

To sum this all up, I have no idea why I loved Rocket Power so much. But I did, and I still do. The other month I found a Rocket Power videotape at a yard sale and almost cried. Good 'ol memories...

For my experience as a child from Latin America, the series presented me with unpublished and very striking sports, the plot is simple, there is not much drama but I would be lying if I I say it's a one-of-a-kind series.

I just started rewatching this show and it is absolutely awesome it brings back great memories.

Okay, for starters I'd like to say I was also a kid when Rugrats and all those other great shows were on TV but can you seriously knock Rocket Power because it was all about extreme sports? I thought the plots were good enough to entertain me even as a young teen, my younger cousins loved the show and I've shared a few discussions with friends about the show who also remember it as being entertaining. Rocket Power had characters that every kid could relate to, who doesn't love that when you're young and don't care about how much of a plot there is? It's not a movie for adults people. As you can see I gave it a 6/10 because I agree it wasn't the best cartoon in the world but it wasn't meant to be the next Rocco's Modern Life. Get over it...fast. Really fun show and well worth the $4 you'll pay to get it on Amazon.
