I read the first two lines of the link but after I scrolled down I stopped. And what I said is about Rugrats, the forum is about Rugrats so it's pretty relevant.
I don't care for the rugrats, I've watched the show now that I'm older and I think that those are horrible parents because they never keep up with their kids and take advice from a book while the kids are running off. Those kids should be supervised and taken from those parents on the show.
Oh, wow. I read that entire thing. That is pretty messed up. I will never watch it the same way again either. To think it was created of some one's pain and suffering. I had to stop half way through the post to give my brain a minute to take it in before I could finish reading. I never would have thought it to be created from something like that.
1/2 of my early childhood and 9/10 of my brothers... all lies... and drugs... and spazy guys... and stillborn children... and abortions... and prostitutes... why...this can't be the plot line of one of my favorite young childhood tv shows. I... can't believe it... how?...
I couldn't work up the nerve to read the entire story... just enough to stay far away from anything that has to do with Rugrats, including that story. Glad I was never that into the Rugrats.
that is really sad. i will never watch that show again without thinking about it. i really wish i could unsee this. although the funny thing is, is that my sister just now was watching rugrats.
I watched a couple Rugrats episodes on Netflix about a month ago, and some of this just doesn't fit.
One of the episodes I saw was the one where the pilot went out and the stereotypical Italian repairman came over to fix it. The babies stole his schematic by distracting him by pretending to cry and then hiding. Even if the repairman was also a bipolar schizophrenic with a terrible drug addiction, it doesn't explain how the schematic made it out of the basement and into the backyard.
The other episode I saw was the one where the babies think Grandpa Lou has a bug inside of him, so they feed him more bugs to catch the "bad bug". At one point, and this was the point that managed to make even me cringe, the babies clamped his uvula with a pair of clamps, or something like that, causing him to wake up. As I also recall, he wakes up and finds millions of bugs crawling around in his bed. It's possible that he could have been hallucinating for both of those instances, but it isn't likely.
But I'm sure this is just Nickelodeon's way of making the babies more convincing and the show more watchable. They had to make the babies real in the show, even if they weren't real in "real life". Nothing in the show indicates that they were not real (in the show), as their parents treat them like babies even when Angelica isn't around. So that's how the show made it to Nickelodeon.
If it is in fact based on a true story, however, and Angelica did in fact die when she was 13 in 1994, it means Suzie became a psychologist and created the show when she was 10. This is the part that makes it most difficult to believe. If the writer of this story had given a death date a decade or two before the show was created, it would have been more credible; but unless I'm overlooking something, this story is hereby declared false.
