The synopsis for Static Cling goes something like this:
Given that the show hasn’t aired in twenty years it’ll be interesting to see how they handle making it popular for modern times. The creator of the show, Joe Murray did have this to say about it (Via Entertainment Weekly).
It sounds like the creators behind Rocko’s Modern Life understand what they have and where they need to take it to become something good for today’s viewers. It will no doubt give older viewers that grew up with shows like this, including that of Hey Arnold and Invader Zim, a sense of nostalgia.
