Rugrats is an American animated television series, produced by Klasky-Csupo, Inc. for Nickelodeon. The series ran from 1991 to 1994, and again from 1997 to 2004. The show is about how babies and young children view life and perceive the events happening around them.

The babies in the show, Thomas (Tommy) Pickles, Dylan (Dil) Pickles, Charles (Chuckie) Finster, Kimi Finster and the twins Phillip (Phil) and Lillian (Lil) DeVille, are able to communicate to each other in baby speak that the adults are unable to understand. Oftentimes, they mispronounce words or use poor grammar. Despite the toddler's inability to communicate with the adults, they can understand their parents' speaking, although often misunderstand what they say, usually by taking metaphors literally. Angelica Pickles and Susie Carmichael, at age three, are able to communicate and understand language from both the babies and the adults, which Angelica often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party.

Rugrats is a show about 4 babies, Tommy (Pickles),Chuckie (Finster),and Phil and Lil (Deville). As we see their lives unravel, we get to hear them talk. On the sidelines, there is Tommy's mean cousin Angelica, their friend, Susie (Carmichael) (same age as Angelica), and everybody's parents. Written by Bounce
