Rugrats is a really strong depiction of realistic family dynamics. Lots of interesting stuff in the background. Also one of the best representations of a modern American Jewish family on television, I grew up in a mixed-faith situation as well and the Pickles felt incredibly relatable.
I grew up in a rural southern baptist community with zero Jewish kids, Rugrats was literally my first introduction to Judaism that wasn’t through an evangelical Christian lens. So I’m glad that it wasn’t a terrible representation!
whats funny is the grandparents had to be taken off tv because people found them offensive…
they were literally modeled and acted like the creaters own grandparents

He’s a newborn but look at Didi’s waist. No fucking way.
Never noticed Didi’s got it going on.
Man totally didn’t remember this episode.
Edit: It’s from the episode Mother’s Day. I do remember the episode, but not this detail. Maybe because the main focus was on Chuckie or I was too young to understand how serious Tommy’s situation was.
Yeah, was this episode made in the 21st century, like after The Movie/All Grown Up? I have no memory of this episode from the 90’s.
May 6th, 1997
All I remember is the one where they are crawling around some shitty Route 66 diner and service station unsupervised while Stu pores over the entire menu and then eventually decides on, of all things, the fucking Patty Melt.
i did that once. nearly shit myself later cause of it. bad idea
I love patty melts from shitty dinners, myself. I guess I’m in the minority on that one. 😋
It’s worth a revisit just to hear all the jokes that went over your head.
His mom is also stacked, good goddamn!
Well she just had him, the colostrum is in. The unrealistic part is her waist.
Where is there any indication that he was premature?
Incubators are used for newborns that need extra support at birth. He’s not necessarily premature, although it’s a common reason to use one.
Oh, I was under the impression that all newborns were incubated.
Congratulations! You’re one of today’s lucky ten thousand

I never realized Tommy Pickles was

I almost remembered them feelings like as if I was a little kid again
The Rugrats Movie had no right being such a masterpiece. Rugrats in Paris wasn’t far behind.

Thank God you corrected the posts spelling, what could we have done without you? A savior of the entire internet; someone should hang a picture up of you as tribute.
Huge /s btw.
This is the woke DEI agenda fascists want you to be afraid of (though I think they called it “political correctness” in those days)
You’re trying a bit too hard here, buddy.
Nah, it’s actually very easy to see, thanks for your concern tho
If you are asleep maybe, but most of us live in reality.
Maybe try to wake up once in a while.
