Rocket Power - E la sfida continua...

Whenever I look up old 90's shows on youtube, I always seem to find each one mention Rocket Power and it brings back some great memories. I used to adore this show. Every day I would flip through channels and if I saw this show was on, nothing else mattered. I would pick watching an episode of this for the fifth time than a Hey Arnold for the first time (although I did enjoy that show too).

I think what I liked this one the most out of the 90's shows was because it was somewhat on its own. Other shows always showed the kids at school with two parents and good grades. This one was slightly more realistic in that sense. Sure, they played the sports ridiculously well so i'm not saying that was realistic, but Twister had a mean brother, Reggie and Otto didn't have a mother, and Sam was made fun of for his intelligence. I felt it was almost more gritty (or as much as it could be) for a kid's show.

Even the main characters weren't likable a lot of the time. Mainly Otto with his cocky personality but all of them had something disagreeable. Sam's wimpyness, Reggie's smart Aleck attitude, and Twister's inability to say anything remotely smart were all factors in showing how no one is perfect.

Then of course, as a child, you find the sports they do to be amazing. I was always jealous of their talent and wished I could be as good as they were on skateboards or surfboards. In a way, they were kid's idols. And I still love them to this day.

For my experience as a child from Latin America, the series presented me with unpublished and very striking sports, the plot is simple, there is not much drama but I would be lying if I I say it's a one-of-a-kind series.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 really enjoyed this show when it was aired. They should have kept it, but made better episodes with more of a plot. It was very interesting and I actually learned a lot from it. I miss that show a lot. That was the last good show Nick had before it went downhill. They should bring all the old shows back, they were sooo much better than this "Catscratch" Dump. I really miss rocket power, it was a very popular show where i am, so many kids liked it. And all of us were into extreme sports and we would make up our own episodes and stuff. We had a lot of fun with it. I miss it so much. Nick should have kept it is all i have to say!!

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

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.
