Its a cartoon about babies & toddlers going on adventures.
No, it was not. You are apparently oblivious to the fact that there were two completely different versions of the show. There was the adult satire Rugrats - the show as run by Paul Germain; the first 65 episodes - and then there were the episodes after the entire original writing staff left, when the new writers turned it into a completely different show - a stupid, irritating preschool show.
The show in the Germain years had absolutely nothing to do with "going on adventures." The babies' idea of "adventures" was literally walking to the other side of a room. The entertainment in the show was seeing how they misinterpreted the adult world and often influenced the outcome in the adult characters' plights. It was a satire on parenthood.
It was also a metaphor for the disconnect between parents and children. It was based on the premise of babies being sentient humans - every bit as smart as adults, but misconceiving things about the world precisely because the adults condescendingly/ignorantly viewed them as "just babies." Everything they knew about the world they learned through their own observation because of that disconnect. That was the premise. That was what drove the comedy and insight.
But then my explanation is sailing over your vacant head, because you're a dolt, as established when you tried to argue with me about this last year.
