Arlene Klasky did not like the cruelty in Angelica in the earlier seasons and often had disputes with the writers about it. By the time the new seasons appeared, Klasky had a more positive reception to the softened Angelica. Arlene Klasky confessed that she never liked the popular character Angelica, because she thought the character was too mean. In the early shows, Angelica sued her parents, ran away from home, framed her friends for crimes she had committed, and terrorized innocents; her trademark line became "You dumb babies!" The writer describes how discord arose from the show's effort to be both cutting-edge and age-appropriate, and how the conflict over Angelica was responsible for the breakup of the original "Rugrats" creative team. The writer credits "Rugrats"'s popularity to the show's hip look and its jaded view of family life and consumer culture. In the first season, Angelica was mischief unchained. At the end of each episode, Angelica received her obligatory comeuppance, yet she remained unrepentant. "Rugrats" made Angelica's nastiness funny, and for Klasky that was a problem. Former "Rugrats" producer Paul Germain, who now works at Disney, got his start working for director/producer James L. Brooks, who helped develop the popular prime-time cartoon show "The Simpsons." Germain brought in Klasky and Csupo to help develop "The Simpsons." After it became a hit, German left Brooks to work as a development executive for Klasky Csupo. In 1989, Germain and Klasky pitched the idea for "Rugrats" to Nickelodeon. The writer describes the evolution of children's TV programming. Old cartoons used to work on several levels, but in the 1960s, studios came under pressure to tone down violence and "adult" behavior. The creators of the "Rugrats" wanted the show to be surprising and risky enough to get children's attention but safe enough so that parents felt comfortable with letting their children watch the show. But Angelica's incorrigibility soon became a problem. After its first year, "Rugrats" won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, but tensions were escalating. In 1992, Csupo and Klasky's marriage collapsed, but they both continued to work on the show, with Csupo often mediating between his wife and the writing staff. As the show developed, Germain wanted to explore emotions and began encouraging adult-oriented "Rugrats" scripts, like the one which explained that the source of Angelica's brattiness was her self-absorbed parents. After her meanness was exposed as neediness, Angelica became a more complex character. In 1993, the tensions exploded and Germain and members of his writing team were kicked off the show. In 1994, Nickelodeon stopped running new episodes and the show went into syndication, which is when its popularity really exploded. Almost overnight, "Rugrats" became one of the most popular shows on cable, with 26 million viewers a week. Advertising and licensing deals took off, and in 1996, the show went back into production. In the new episodes of "Rugrats," which reflect Klasky's concern about Angelica's "cruelty," the edge has been softened with sentimentality. The writer describes the plot of the new "Rugrat" film and claims that children who once thrilled to Angelica's nasty schemes may be disappointed by her sentimental role.

I still can't believe that the Melanie Chartoff who played Didi and her mom is the same one who was a cast member and spoof news anchor on "Fridays" (a.k.a "ABC's version of Saturday Night Live that was on around the time that the real Saturday Night Live went downhill due to Jean Doumanian being showrunner and not knowing what humor is").

I read a rumor somewhere that Soucie hasn’t been able to perform Betty as well as she used to in the 90s, most likely due to old age and her currently being 70 years old, but that’s all speculation. For Chartoff, it could also be old age as well, especially with her being currently 75.

I was born in spring of 91, a few short months before it aired in August. I can't remember a time in my childhood I did not know about the Rugrats, I've literally watched it since before I could remember. I got my niece enjoying it, though she isn't watching it at the moment, and I can't wait to watch the reboot with her! I will happily binge Rugrats even as an adult for some lighthearted escapism, and to pick up on all the jokes I didn't get as a kid, LOL!
