Who was everyone's favorite Rugrat?

I remember one of the first AGU episodes was Angelica's party where she was turning 13. So that would make the others 11ish and Dil 10-9?
Yea, I did find that quite weird. I wasn't really a fan of AGU in general, or any of the multiple "teen" shows that seemed to pop up during that time. I didn't hate AGU and it had some clever moments and one-liners but there was always something I'd rather do than watch it.

why was arnold's thanksgiving depressing? i thought it was pretty good, with helga's family going ballistic after she was gone. bib bob looking like he's leaving to fight a war.
how do you figure that?
I never got into it. I must have missed the episodes where ages were mentioned, because the whole time the stuff they were going through seemed like high school stuff.
I loved the final episode of Rugrats, All Growed Up (I think that was the name). It was a super surprise. Making a show of it though? Eh.
Oh my god, the content's disgusting but I just can't help laughing considering the context that it was made and how out of character everyone is. I mean, the last thing they did with it was try to pass it along to the Wild Thornberry's crew. That's fucking hilarious. Makes me wonder what kind of weird shit the Wild Thornberry animators were making.

I don't know why, but this game gave me terrible motion sickness back when it came out.

Man season 1 Rugrats is so weird, especially with those weird necks.

I forgot about that. I haven't seen it in years, I only remembered Mr. Simmons' Thanksgiving. Luckily I think all of Hey Arnold is on Hulu.why was arnold's thanksgiving depressing? i thought it was pretty good, with helga's family going ballistic after she was gone. bib bob looking like he's leaving to fight a war.

Hey Arnold is one of my favourite cartoons, so glad Hulu has it.
I haven't looked for it yet, but is there any easy way to view Rugrats these days?

I believe that Amazon has some of it for instant viewing, but beyond that the only option is The Splat on TeenNick.

There was a whole episode dedicated to Angelica's thirteenth birthday IIRC.
Damn. There goes my options then. Might have to spring for it on DVD.
As said, missed that one.

I didn't realise that ps1 game was so notorious. I played the hell out of it when I was younger. Sometimes I'd reach the Reptar part, I had no idea how, but it was really awesome. There was this Toy Story game that was also really fun on PS1. Just some simple but good collect-a-thons.

Went to her house again
we played a little more of this, then we just watched some episodes of the cartoon.
The girl has like all 6 seasons on DVD.
and after smoking some more
The girl has like all 6 seasons on DVD.
There are some sped up episodes on YouTube.
Ah, Splat's that new block they were trying to hype up about bringing back all their 90s cartoons right?
No, that isn't obvious at all, pal.
you're thinking of the first game, Search for Reptar, which actually got Greatest Hits. This is Studio Tour, I dunno if this one was as notorious. I also remember the Toy Story game you're talking about but I never got to play it.
Phil keeps it pretty real too.
Oh, nice. I wish they were on Netflix too.

3 pages and no one has said Suzie?
Each and every one of y'all ain't shit!

To be fair, she seemed to get forgotten for a while in the show too.
I had this game years ago, don't know what happened to it though. I remember it being clunky as all fuck.
Someone said it in the first page, you prolly missed it because they didn't spell it with a Z.
Personally, i think Suzie only got interesting after they became things, before that she was just anti-Angelica which wasn't as interesting as regular Angelica.
Personanlly, my fave baby was Chuckie, fave teen was Phil.

That's because she wasn't really a main character like the rest of the kids. But she did debut in the first season iirc.
She's in this game but she wasn't even on the cover.
yeah. I had this game back in the day but I lost it, bought this copy last year and yes it is goddamn clunky. But that could just be because of the whacky emulation.

One of the panels was Angelica's hands touching Stu's testicles, so nah, I'm good.

She was kinda boring in her early appearances, a mary-sue-ish character. Eventually she found a role (the straight-man friend to Angelica).
It reminds me of Sandy Cheeks.

I think sandy was a much more prominent character in spongebob than Suzie was in rugrats

this is a real storyboard btw
Okay,that's the last panel of that thing, right? ;-;

i'm a little confused but I'm guessing there may be two of them, someone above posted about another pretty gross panel..
Yea. I really appreciated them making Susie a smart black female character that the babies could look to for wisdom (srsly there wasn't many of those in cartoons in the 90s, still aren't that many, thx SU Garnet for keeping it real) but she directly clashed with Angelica's shenanigans (again, one of the prominent episode movers throughout the series) because she was the only character, kid or adult, who consecutively didn't fall for Angelica's crap. So she couldn't be around much more than she was.
She was one of the few characters who got an improved place in AGU, she became really good friends with Angelica, Harold and Kimi iirc, every bit as tight knit as the OG 4 in Rugrats. She also got several good episodes (I actually really like the one with the con artist, very touching).
I really should give the show another watch sometime and see if I can appreciate it more.

Chuckie. Such a cool guy. And he couldn't tie his laces.

You know, speaking of that episode in particular, isn't it surprising that a series that was generally grounded and restrained from making really crazy and zany stories and ideas, had an actual functioning time machine in a kids toy store of all things. That just raises a lot of questions.Stu.
Here's the groups with the main cast of Rugrats. You have the babies, you have the adults and you have Stu, who's literally right in the middle as a somewhat competent father who can go from adult to hilarious man child in seconds. Stu is love. Stu is life.
I loved the show to be honest. My only complaint is that it needed more Thorg.
He was hungry. He wanted eat.

Phil was the best by far.
The grandpa was the best adult, along with Chaz and Betty.

I saw that & responded to it, but I don't recall seeing the panel in particular that was being talked about...
Nearly every goddamn episode. AND the first movie.
Stu was the eccentric inventor and Chaz was the dad of Chuckie, the scaredy cat. Either of those?

Despite being a toddler, Phil was always saying some slick shit every now and then, so him.
Chuckie's definitely right after, though.

Tommy, no contest.
Oh yeah, I remember that part. I have it on orange video. Explains why a giant gorilla is mentioned in the cross of the Delaware. There was also one where they think that Stu's a robot and attempt to open Stu's chest by squeezing his nipples with a plastic wrench.
