This show was released in 2003 so it was near the era when Nickelodeon rocked and still aired good shows, "All Grown Up!" is definitely one of them.The show focuses on the main characters from the original Rugrats series 10 years older and this was a pretty interesting idea, seeing them out of the pen and into the world where they tackle tougher problems.The characters are pretty much the same as they were in Rugrats except older. Tommy who's the leader of the group and still looks out for the others, Chuckie who's a risk taker and does look out for Kimi, being a responsible step-brother plus he does give Tommy good advice, Phil and Lil who are more independent from each other but are still caring siblings, Susie who pursues a career in singing and focuses on her future in college but still a great friend, Angelica is much nicer in this series where at 3 years of age she was hell spawn, but now she's a lot more tolerable in this series, Kimi who likes to help others and of course Dil, Tommy's younger brother who's definitely my favorite character from the show. He has a much bigger role in this series which I'm really glad to see. He is weird but nice, smart, caring, isn't afraid of trying new things and doesn't care about what other people think of him.The episodes themselves are pretty compelling, I really liked "Coup DeVille", "Lucky 13", "O Bro, Where Art Thou?", "All Broke Up" and especially the longer episodes like "R.V. Having Fun Yet?" and "Dude, Where's My Horse?" which almost felt like full length movies than regular episodes. In some of the episodes themselves, I like the fact that they discuss more grown up and tougher hardships like going through a break-up or being framed by a con artist. This show was presumably for the people that grew up with Rugrats so they would be able to tackle these kinds of problems at a certain age.The animation is very good, the voice acting is solid, the episodes are enjoyable and some of the lines are pretty funny. Overall, a great spin-off to a great show and I would recommend it to anyone whether you're a Rugrats fan or not.

I learned about these series quite recently.I was a Rugrats fan from a younger age and when I discovered there was a spin-off of the characters,I was really excited to watch it.Firstly,I watched the TV movie/episode of Rugrats "All Growed Up".It was a nice episode.Angelica was chasing the babies for taking her karaoke machine and finally they got in a closet,trying to hold the door from opening by Angelica.Then (I don't understand how exactly) the babies decided to go to the future and they did it by putting some kind of headphones to a ball.(?)Everyone is still the same thing only a bit different to their way of treating (one good example is that Chuckie is not afraid that much anymore).Then after a few incidents (and a nice and emotional video slide show of their baby years and adventures),they get back to the present knowing how they will look at the future and how will Angelica treat them then.(Oh,yes,Angelica WILL treat them a bit well!)This episode was really interesting and maybe one of my favorites,though I've read and heard that many Rugrats fans didn't like it,because it destroyed their imagination of how the babies will be in the future,the same they believe for the series Rugrats:All Grown Up!,that it destroyed the original one.Then I watched some episodes from the series and I was quite satisfied by them.They were nice,funny and at the end (as in the Rugrats) there was always a life lesson,through the preteens' life and adventures.I find it very enjoyable and it's certainly is a good show for children and preteens and -who knows?-teens and adults will love it too!9 stars out of 10 is the best I can put,it wasn't the most excellent ever,but it is surely a nice and hard-worked series!

It tires to hard to reach out to teens with its unrealistic story board. I mean if rug rats was bad enough their teenager stage is more annoying if that was even possible. Think would a teenager today dress-up and pretend to be some foreigner or would anyone even think or acting like angelica. i mean its just not realistic.I don't get why oh why nickelodeon did this to us buy making it but i will never forgive them.Basically this show was just a gimmick to get people to watch. Nickelodeon should have just sticked with its good shows invader Zim or Ren and Stimpy. If you would like to watch it go ahead but be warned you wouldn't like it.

What does "The Rugrats", "Beavis and Butthead", "All in the Family" and some of the "Cartoon-Cartoon" shows on Cartoon Network have in common? Well, they started out as good shows, but later went downhill and eventually, came out with lame @$$ spin-offs. You think most people would learn from all of this, but there are some that don't.AGU is basically a typical Teeny-Bopping show for the "Brittney Spears", "Cristina Agulera", "Jessica Simpson" and the "Boy Band" generation, only difference is that they have Rugrat characters in there as stereotypical pre-teens. This is just a travesty to a once good cartoon.Don't be fooled fans of Rugrats! This is basically a teeny bopper show disguised as Rugrats francise.
