Ok, I'll admit this show wasn't as bad as All Grown Up, but it was still pretty bad.
Pre-School Daze (since I can't be bothered to type in the full title), was another spin-off by Nick trying to revive the then-dying Rugrats franchise. It focuses on both Rugrats regulars, Angelica and Susie, trying to outdo each other in pre-school, but usually, Susie wins. All right, I know it doesn't sound awful, but it all goes downhill from here.
The first thing that bothers me is the art style; it's dreadful. I know I might be moaning about change a bit here, but it's completely different from the original signature Rugrats style; something All Grown Up kept. Besides, why does everyone have round, red cheeks? It's a tad creepy if you ask me.
The plot is boring. In every episode, Angelica tells a lie to the class, the class enters mass hysteria, Susie investigates, she uncovers Angelica's lies and everything is fine and dandy once again. This is the entire plot of the show in a nutshell. And yes, it gets old and boring fast. The humour is nonexsistent. I didn't even smile once at the jokes. Now about the characters; why is the class so dumb?! You'd think after being manipulated by Angelica a few times, they'd wisen up, but no. Susie always has to expose the truth for them. I know kids that age are gullible, but these have to be the most dumbest pre-schoolers I've ever seen. Even I know kids that age learn from mistakes.
The teacher has to be my least favourite character in the show. She's selfish, she complains a lot and she doesn't really seem to care about the kids.
This show aired for a bit in the UK, then was taken off the air again (which is why I've seen it). I heard that it wasn't shown for long in the US, but with the quality of this, I think it's for the best. Also, I was kinda wondering... where were the other Rugrats? I fail to see the point of the title having the word, 'Rugrats' in it if none of the original babies are in the show.
Don't bother watching this show. It was just another failed Rugrats spin-off. At least this only ran for one season.moreless
