(As per Wikipedia) Rugratswas formed by the then husband-and-wife duo of Gábor Csupó and Arlene Klasky, along with Paul Germain in 1989.Klasky-Csupohad a major animation firm at the time which also provided services for commercials and Music Videos. Klasky, Csupó, and Germain were also animatingThe Simpsonsat the time, which they would continue to do until 1992. The trio decided to create their own series in reaction to a proclamation by the children's cable network Nickelodeon that they were to launch their own line of animated shows, which would be later calledNicktoons. With the comedic stimulation branching from the antics of Klasky and Csupó's infant children, the 61⁄2

–minute pilot episode, "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing" (never to be aired), went into production.

Peter Chung, along with Klasky and Csupó, co-designed the characters and directed the series pilot, "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing," as well as the opening sequence. The production was completed in 1990 and they submitted it to Nickelodeon, who tested it with an audience of children. The feedback for the pilot episode was primarily positive. With that, the series went into production. Chuckie and Angelica were added as characters.
