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

It says it all in the title of this. There are some good parts about All Grown Up! and there are some bad parts. If you're a big Rugrats fan, you might get a kick out of this, if you're a casual watcher you could find the good parts and bad parts but otherwise, it's pretty average.

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.

I found watching this show would've loved for me to see Nickelodeon have these kids grow up and find themselves, but watching this later showed me they rushed the development into their preteen/teen years of confusion amongst them in a PG format and the stresses of parents as their kids get older. If you watched Rugrats as a kid you'll understand.

But what I wish was this show lasted longer because it made me feel as if they were growing up with me fictionally inside a cartoon universe. But I do understand good things come to an end, and this is how I loved the way they wrapped up Rugrats.

I've watched Rugrats throughout my entire childhood. In my early teen years, Nickelodeon provider me Invader Zim and Disney gave me Gargoyles, but Rugrats always had a special place in my heart. And as soon as I heard that Rugrats would get a spin off when I was nine, one that centered on their preteen years, I was as curious as anyone. BUT I KNEW: I wasn't to expect their infant's way of interpreting the world.

Sure, the baby charm of seeing the world with newborn eyes is cute and wonderful to watch. Maybe even surreal. All Grown Up will never have that, which is why it will always be inferior to Rugrats. However, I need to say this. Children need to see their childhood heroes growing up and learning life-lessons, and All Grown Up provided that in a spiritual way that no show can do. The life lessons were pretty real, the morals were strong, and the characters were growing. The episodes featuring Angelica's growth occasionally got very interesting (and satisfying, likely for anyone who didn't like her toddler brattiness from Rugrats).

I think the world needed All Grown Up. Besides, I know a lot of adults today need to look at how these life-lessons and realize they can be more immature than these fictional preteens. If anything, the show is more necessary than ever. Rugrats might be better, but All Grown Up is about REAL growth instead of cute pretend.

By 2003 I was in middle school being a guy who started making trouble in my neighborhood. That means TV time was deceasing.

I would watch a little bit of AGU: Rugratz.

It was cool to see them grown up and maturing. They dealt with social problems and didn't phase out into their unrealistic world of adventure. AGU was about real life.

It had a few good episodes with many improved characters.

What can be learned? Grow up to learn.

Verdict: Pretty decent show.

In the series " All Grown Up! " we see how the heroes of our childhood become teenagers and face new problems and challenges. We follow their adventures, romantic relationships, school affairs, and family situations. The series shows how they maintain their individuality and friendship, despite all the difficulties and disagreements. The series also touches on various social and cultural topics, such as bullying, ecology, etc. The series is not afraid to be serious and deep, but at the same time does not lose its humor and lightness.

My family and I watch the series " All Grown Up! " and we really like it. This is a fun and funny series that makes you think about life. We really like the stories and characters of this series because they are lively, interesting and multifaceted, have their own personality and character. They have their strengths and weaknesses, their dreams and fears, their mistakes and virtues. They grow and change as the series progresses, learning from their own experiences and supporting each other. I love how the series combines humor, kindness, fantasy and realism.

I think that the series " All Grown Up! " is not only a continuation of "Rugrats", but also an independent project that has its own style and atmosphere. The series appeals to different generations of viewers: those who grew up on "Rugrats" and those who are just getting acquainted with these characters. The series knows how to be funny and touching, fascinating and instructive, realistic and fantastic.

The series not only entertains, but also teaches children and adults important life lessons such as friendship, family, tolerance, responsibility and creativity. I believe that All Grown Up! As well as "Rugrats" is a real classic of animation, which over time will not lose its relevance and attractiveness, which is suitable for viewers of any age and teaches friendship, imagination, curiosity and joy of life. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to watch a high-quality and exciting cartoon.

It would be cool if they made a remake of this series, also hand-drawn, but already adjusted for new technologies, i.e., for modernity.

I think "All Grown Up" was a creative idea, taking the "Rugrats" show in a new direction, making them all 10 years older. It was interesting to see how all the characters evolved.

Even though the guys are all had some personality changes, they're all pretty much the same as they always were and still friends.

The only downside is everyone (with the exception of Dil and Phil) is trying too hard to fit in, like most preteen/teen show. I would have liked to see more of them trying to go after their aspirations and pursue more hobbies or something, rather than trying really hard to make people like them.

Overall this was a good effort and had some funny material.

Many people seem to be comparing this show to the original series, "The Rugrats". But this was not the reason why this show was created. It was created because the premiere of the special, "All Growed Up", was the highest rated premiere in Nickelodeon history. Some say that its bad because of the way its written. But it can't be bad, because none of the stories were taken from the original series, or any other shows. All of the stories are original. The show started in November, and they already started showing second season shows in June. In fact, Nickelodeon has ordered 22 new episodes, along with "Jimmy Neutron", "Fairly Oddparents", and "ChalkZone". More people can relate to the All Grown Up characters, so kids have more interest in it. Plus, now Dil serves a purpose and they can now communicate with their parents. Nothing is wrong with this show.

"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.

I think a lot of people writing reviews have forgotten this show is for kids. As a late 90s baby I remember watching this show and loving it. It talked about real problems kids faced like having a crush, body changes, and growing up in general. I have seen a lot of reviews talking about how the character's personalities changes, and I do not see the problem. Of course they changed they're growing up. The kids are in that awkward tween stage, and I think a lot of people forgot what that was like. Yeah some of the characters acted spoiled or self centered, but that's typical for that age. I think the show is good overall. If you don't like it then maybe the show just isn't for you.

I'm a fan of the original rugrats, when All Grown Up came I was very excited, I think it's a nice show, but it isn't exactly what I was expecting from a rugrats spin-off.

The only bad side of this show is that the show killed the rugrats, Tommy isn't the leader anymore , at the beginning he was supposed to be an artist and later he was just randomly obsessed with girls, Susie just thinks on singing and college, Angelica became just a generic boring teenager, Chuckie from being a nice and caring baby became a self-centered person who is always complaining of how bad is life for him, Kimi gotta be the worst of all of them, she doesn't have a personality not even a trait to set her apart from the other rugrats, she's portrayed as a selfish, spoiled girl who seems to think that the world revolves around her, by far the most horrible character in the entire series, At the end we have Dil that unlike his countpart on rugrats, he has evoluted to become the best character in this show, portrayed as the weird, nice,smart ,caring kid who is always willing to help and trying new things other people wouldn't do,always ready for the action, and that challenging attitude of not caring what other people think of him.

I think it's a good show, but I wish it would have to deal less with teenage issues and more kid related issues, if this wasn't a rugrats spin-off it'd be a very good show, but with rugrats in its past, people expect more from it.

I think you guys who are giving bad reviews are being unfair. All Grown Up is a great show, I'm not denying that Rugrats will always be better with it's (in my opinion) unique style of humor that both kids and adults can enjoy. I find it enjoyable to see how the 'rats have grown and changed. If your looking for more misunderstanding between kids and adults type humor that was so common in The Rugrats, then go elsewhere. If your more interested in seeing the kids growing and how relationships between some of them have changed, as well as another 'growing-pains' "tweenage" show. Then watch this, you won't beat it.

I'd give it a 3+1/5 out of 5

This is far from being "Rugrats: The Next Generation." Instead, you can see palpable changes in the characters of the show from the baby-oriented original series to this one.

The plot lines have some refreshing changes in them. Coming along for the ride is a new Vice-Principal who was an ex-professional wrestler. He takes a keen interest in Dil, who is the breakout star of this show. In one episode, he counsels Dil (Wisely!) when the other kids use his genius for their profit.

Dil is the weird one who does weird things, but inside that brain is a true genius. Also amazing is the transformation of Tommy from fearless leader-baby to more a member of the group, complete with insecurities. Angelica is different too. She's softer and less bossy, but still a schemer. Her lispy friend Harold is a nice foil for her antics.

This is completely kid-safe. It's also fun for adults, too. Perhaps it's not in the same league as Spongebob, but it is great fun!

So on my 1-10 scale, I give it an 8.

What can I say, this show is much better than the original Rugrats. With it's pretty good animation, amazing voice acting, and pretty good story line for each episode! Also, for a long time, I actually had a huge crush on the girls in this show. Not sure why, but they made them look very cute and pretty. So in general, watch this rather than Rugrats.

I like this show. It may seem dorky at first, but it actually makes a life for the so called RUGRATS.The show makes me happy, and makes me enjoy my teen life more! But my only flaw is that they are starting to use the dorky and annoying Rugrats music (1997-2001) that annoyed me after all these years. Otherwise the show makes me comfortable.I recommend that everyone watch this show. Teens Mostly!The show though gets annoying after a while with Angelica, who I hate!The show alternates from one teen having a problem, to another being weird.Hey, it's a typical Klasky/Csuopo cartoon with the animation and feel of most of their show which are excellent.The show is GREAT.

Rugrats: 9.5/10 All Grown Up: 9.8/10
