| | Nickelodeon & Klasky-Csupo's "Rocket Power" |
 | | According to a New York Post interview with Klasky-Csupo, Rocket Power was created after noticing that their own kids are getting involved with extreme sports; Rugrats, as most of you know, was also based on their own kids, though they were still babies when Rugrats was created in 1989. |
 | | Rocket Power was also based on Arlene Klasky's own childhood experiences in the beach towns of Orange County, CA, where surfing was, and still is, popular. |
 | | Sam Dullard is to Rocket Power as Chuckie Finster is to Rugrats; they both wear glasses; they both have turned-up noses; they're afraid of taking risks, and when they do, often get in trouble; and they both have single parents (though Chuckie's is a dad and Sam's is a mom). |
