Tommy Pickles - All Grown Up!

In the new spinoff, Tommy has purple hair. Also, similar to Susie's talent for singing, Tommy also has a new-found talent: making films with his camcorder. A few episodes have been made around this fact: "Truth or Consequences" (first US tx: November 30, 2003), which also revealed he made his first film at the age of 37 months, had him making a negative film about his friends; the main storyline of "Brother, Can You Spare The Time?" (first US tx: January 17, 2004) opened with him mentioning recently winning a young filmmaker's award; and one storyline in "Bad Aptitude" (first US tx: June 4, 2004) was about Tommy's sudden early retirement from filmmaking after making a flop and receiving an unfavorable (for his filmmaking aspirations) result on his career aptitude exam. However, he has not been seen with his camcorder since "The Big Score" (first US tx: April 25, 2005), when he was filming Lil at the soccer field.

As he's grown up, he's not as perfect as he used to be on Rugrats: in "Thief Encounter" (first US tx: December 6, 2003), he was discovered to be stealing goods from around the neighborhood, in "River Rats" (first US tx: December 13, 2003), he was shown to be afraid of water, stemming from an experience during a swimming lesson, and in "Dude, Where's My Horse?" (first US tx: July 16, 2005), he was the worst cowboy out of the regulars.

Up until early season 2, he was also either shown or mentioned as being part of the school soccer team, even trying to teach Dil how to play ("Fools Rush In", first US tx: June 5, 2004). Lately (more specifically since "The Big Score"), however, all the focus on soccer has involved only Phil and Lil DeVille. A much-promoted storyline was Tommy getting his first kiss in "Fear of Falling" (first US tx: February 14, 2005, also, see below).
