Rocco's Modern Life

"In November 1992, two months before the production of season 1 of Rocko's Modern Life, Murray's [the shows creator] first wife committed suicide. Murray had often blamed his wife's suicide on the show being picked up. He said, "It was always an awful connection because I look at Rocko as such a positive in my life." He felt that he had emotional and physical "unresolved issues" when he moved to Los Angeles, describing the experience as participating in a "marathon with my pants around my ankles."

it always felt like there was this anti-capitalist undertones with this show with Conglom-O Corporation and Heffer's wolf family; i'm glad to know now that there was more to it.
