Rocko's Modern Life

***Rocko's Modern Life*** is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian immigrant wallaby named Rocko and his friends: the eccentric steer Heffer Wolfe, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky. It is set in the fictional town of O-Town. Throughout its run to present day, this show is controversial for its adult humor, including double entendre, innuendo, and satirical social commentary, similar to The Ren & Stimpy Show. The series has gained a cult following.

The show premiered on September 18, 1993, and ended on November 24, 1996, totaling four seasons and 52 episodes. A special, entitled *Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling*, was digitally released on Netflix on August 9, 2019.

The show launched the careers of voice actors Carlos Alazraqui and Tom Kenny. After the show's cancellation, much of the staff regrouped to work on SpongeBob SquarePants, created by Rocko's creative director Stephen Hillenburg.

A European Spanish dub, titled ***La vida moderna de Rocko***, aired on Canal+ from 1995 to 1996. Around the same time, it began airing on Minimax as part of the channel's new Nickelodeon block and continued to do so until 1997. Later, the dub started airing on Nickelodeon Iberia with its debut on March 1, 1999. It ceased broadcasting there sometime around 2001. It also aired on Telemadrid from December 13, 2000 to December 26, 2001.

No footage of this dub was surfaced on the Internet until 2019, when a short clip of "With Friends Like These" featured in a Nickelodeon Iberia promo from 1999 was posted on Twiter by televideofm. This was previously posted on YouTube, but the video got taken down.

However, nothing else surfaced until September 22, 2021, when the episode “Sugar Frosted Frights” became available on Pluto TV’s Kids Halloween channel in Spain. Luis adellan released two clips of the episode onto YouTube on September 22, 2021. Then in early 2022, the rest of the episodes of the dub became available on Pluto TV’s Toons Clásico channel in Spain. Subsequently, RGodHD10 posted a video that contains Drive links to almost every episode of the dub, which he recorded from Pluto TV, with the exception of “I See London, I See France”, “The Fat Lands”, “Put to Pasture”, and “Future Schlock”, because Pluto TV has not aired them yet, most likely because either those episodes weren't dubbed, as Eduardo Gutiérrez (Rocko's voice actor in the dub) said they might have left out an episode, or Pluto TV had time constraints. At the same time, the former two episodes are left out of other streaming services such as Amazon Video, iTunes, Google Play, and Paramount+.

The cast can be found on ElDoblaje, while a more extended cast can be found on The Dubbing Database.
