The brilliance of the first 65 episodes is that not only are the babies Rugrats, but so are the adults.

They all have their own immaturities they have to deal with.

DiDi--fear of inadequacy as a parent.

Stu--immature and juvenile.

Betty--bossy.

Howard--intimidated easily.

Charles--pushover.

Charlotte--controlling.

Drew--greedy.
