TheLittleSongbird For starters I love The Rugrats. True they jumped the shark in the later seasons but I found the weaker episodes still watchable, and I love the show as a whole. I didn't like the idea of All Grown Up, but I decided to give it a chance. The show does have its moments, but in my opinion this is not a good show at all. I will give credit, it is not as bad as ChalkZone(Nickelodean's worst) or Rocket Power, but it is very lacking in I think originality and charm.The good things are that the animation is nice and colourful, and the voice acting is very solid.However, I cannot stand the theme song, it is so uninspired, while the writing is often unfunny and the story lines predictable and all-too-familiar. I don't like the characters as much either, Tommy and Chuckie are fine, but I personally found Dil cuter when he was a baby(and to be honest that was when Rugrats jumped the shark I think) and Anjelica has lost her charm and is bratty to the point I cannot tolerate her.Overall, disappointing. Not the worst show on Nickelodean, but it is far from the best. 4/10 Bethany Cox

I_Am_The_Resurrection ALL GROWN UP is basically a spin off and not much else of the original Nickalodeon RUGRATS cartoon that featured the babies Tommy Pickles, Chucky Finster, Lil and Phil DeVille, Angelica, Susie and (later) Kimi (Chuckies sister) and Dill (Tommy's brother). I grew up with RUGRATS and thought it was a great cartoon. It had excellent humor, nice stories and the show's creators, Klasky & Csupo, were obviously very original and creative with the concept of the adventures of babies. The new show ALL GROWN UP tries to recapture the magic of the original cartoon. I was disappointed when I saw it. I found the "all-grown-up" Chuckie just annoying and the whole "pre-teen-acting-mature/trying-to-be-popular" that applied to (unfortunately) *all* of the characters dull and washed out. There still are some funny scenes and jokes in the new series and it was interesting how the artists would make the whole baby gang of RUGRATS look ten years from their age in the original show. Overall, this show is 'fair' and only watchable if a) you're a die-hard fan of the RUGRATS, b) have never seen the original show, c) you're a pre-teen that has nothing to do, or d) your so bored that your somehow forced to see this show. This show is not that good. It doesn't compare to the older RUGRATS episodes in quality, humor, and everything else.

aleusong I never saw the original special that started it all. I think it would've been better had this series not been made.Every episode I've seen stresses too heavy on the morals. Well it's a kid show, I suppose that's normal. But everything is recycled, and the main antagonists are those so-called cool kids that are nothing but assholes. "We say it's cool." That is so retarded! And that episode where Kimmy doesn't find out until she's like 12 or something that she's Japanese and wants to be more Japanese: #1 I don't think kids are that stupid and would know what ethnicity they are before they get too old #2 The moral of the episode seems to discourage having an interest in one's own true culture which really upsets me.There's a desperate cry for work on writing and characters. Among all things Dil is a FULL clone copy of Carl from "As Told By Ginger" another unoriginal show, while the rest of the cast only bear some similarities to other characters in personality.I'm not some freak who thought that this series was a bad idea from the start. I had hopes for it, but when I realized while watching how much of it has been done to death, I was outraged.The show lacks fantasy and wonder which was what makes The Rugrats special, nothing like its spin off at all.

Ginger87 "Rugrats All Grown Up" is a good show. I loved Rugrats and when I saw commercials for All Grown Up I got really excited. "Rugrats" was going downhill and it needed a change. I thought it would be cool to see the Rugrat gang 10 years later. All of the characters have matured in their own way. Tommy is still the leader of the group and still looking out for the others. Lil has become more of a girl and more independent from Phil. Phil is still gross but in a more mature way. Dil now talks and is always watching out for Tommy. Angelica isn't as mean as she was in Rugrats. Chuckie is always looking out for Kimi and giving good advice to Tommy. Kimi is always helping the others. And Susie is still a great friend to all of them, especially Angelica. I also love the theme song, it is very catchy.All Grown Up has many good episodes. My favorites are: "Coup DeVille", "Brother, Can You Spare the Time?", "Saving Cynthia", and "Truth or Consequences". My favorite characters are still Angelica, Phil, and Lil. Overall this is a really good show and I hope it lasts as long as Rugrats did. I give this show 10/10 stars.
