Rugrats cartoon is fine, it's got some nods towards adults that make it 
somewhat entertaining.  I can't see watching it without youngish kids 
though.  Can't say I have any interest in watching it now or playing a 
game based on it either.

I think it hits nostalgia for kids that watched it growing up.

I got them, won't ever be playing them (maybe the last I'll fire up to 
see if my daughter wants to play it with me, but cute platform, ugh) 
nope.  Not going to happen.
