Hello Internet! You ready for some heavy knowledge?
Rocko’s Modern Life is definitely a weird show and certainly has some anger and jadedness in its humor and observations about the “real world” Rocko inhabits. I’m sure some of that is because of the personalities of the production staff who created the show, especially Joe Murray–the series creator and executive producer. An inescapable incident happened in Murray’s life right before production of the show began–something I have no doubt made Rocko’s a very difficult show to make.
In November 1992, two months before Rocko’s Modern Life, Joe Murray’s wife killed herself.
