Animated Atrocities Animated Atrocities #86: "Snow Day" [Rocket Power] -

[Trilby]

This one wasn't bad. Rocket Power had a very early-mid 90s feel with bright colors and what old people thought kids were saying during that time, so it was pretty dated (the show aired August 1999)
This and his Captain Planet one did this thing where he explained how kids felt, and he was right. I mean, the carnival at school cliche is pretty bad, or maybe I went to the only three schools in the world that never had surprise carnival day. I talked about that other guy where you need to view these with the mentality of the target audience, and that's what he did.

I guess I had it better in the 80's, though it was a high school I would go to later in the 90's that had a summer carnival on its campus that was funded by the athletic club. I miss those days fondly.

Growing Around might work as a good dystopian story or some KND-like story but not the way Enter has it.

That would make the idea actually be entertaining. Rocket Power was kind of a meh show but I think Mr. Enter needs to look at the era the show came out in. Extreme Sports stuff was popular back then so of course Nickelodeon would have cashed in on it. It did well enough to get a few seasons so someone must have enjoyed watching it.

I'll openly and unfortunate admit that I did like Rocket Power, when it was on at the time - that is, of course, when I was really fucking young and naive enough to consider something so pandering and semi-condescending like Rocket Power even remotely entertaining... Not so much, now, TBH. I've seen better slice-of-life stuff as of late, regardless of where and when it came from... That I'd rather not sperg about now. Especially here.

I use to be obsessed with Nickelodeon back then in the late 1990's and early 2000's. I watched a Rocket Power episode recently and I do not know how I enjoyed it when I was younger. Some older cartoons like Hey Arnold hold up but Rocket Power is one that does not.

I went through that in re-evaluating the 80's crap I saw.

Some shows were just designed for a certain era, I suppose.

This Enter cracker don't know shit about how tight Rocket Power is, I hope he gets sand in his potato salad.

Glad to see most of us are open to how bad nostalgia truly is around here...

Not sure if joking or not, but to each their own and whatnot.
