Clarissa Explains It All Reboot in the Works with Melissa Joan Hart
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that a Clarissa Explains It All reboot with original lead Melissa Joan Hart is in early development at Nickelodeon.
Melissa Joan Hart would be reprising her role as Clarissa Darling, but as a mom to her own family. Her return to the show would also see her as an executive producer under her Hartbreak Films production copmany. Mitchell Kriegman, creator of the original show, is in negotiations to serve as writer and executive producer for the revival. Clarissa Explains It All aired from 1991 to 1994 on Nickelodeon, showing 65 episodes over five seasons. The teen comedy told the story of precocious, sarcastic Clarissa who would break the fourth wall to directly address the audience about her travails in her typical teenage life. This news follows the February THR interview with Hart where the actress expressed interest in going back to Clarissa Explains It All. Hart mentioned the reboot of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, another beloved 90’s Nickelodeon show that she starred in, which is currently being produced by Netflix and will be starring Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men).

I wonder who will have the fourth wall-breaking powers now, Clarissa or her daughter

I don't know, the original show worked but it's a product of its time, unsure if it can be replicated. There are plenty of other shows that have tons of potential for revivals but I guess the success of the "new" generations of full house a la Fuller House and Girl Meets World meant this got greenlit instead.

What was that other show from this era, about the girl with Capri Sun powers she got in a freak accident?

The Secret World of Alex Mack, but that one came out later in the 90s. Also a great show and it actually had an ending. I was definitely in love with Clarissa era Melissa Joan Heart and Larissa Oleynik(?) back as a kid.
Since we're going down memory lane on more obscure shows, anyone remember The Mystery Files of Shelby Wu? I absolutely loved that show as well. Quote:

Oh, wow, she's old, I both thought you were much older and she was much younger as well.

So it's a story about her as a mother now? Not sure how it'll relate to kids but she seems nice. Also Blues Clues is getting new 20 episodes. |

Yeah, the Blues Clues show is going to incorporate Augmented Reality in it so I'm guessing you'll be able to help the new "steve" with a tablet, I think that's a neat idea even if I don't think I'd let my kid have a tablet that young since Blues Clues skews younger than Sesame Street I think.
Also, why is this being called a reboot instead of a continuation? Sabrina is definitely a reboot but not this unless there was a new Clarissa and Melissa Joan Hart was the mother of Clarissa. |

Are you saying it wasn't cool to like the show, or to think Melissa Joan Hart was attractive? I was in the sixth grade when the show started out, and I'd watch the show, and I also thought she was hot. I don't think anyone in my school would have taken an issue with that. I only watched it sparingly after its first season though.

Yeah. It's not a reboot since Melissa is reprising the role...except she's now a mom.

I want a reboot/continuation of Are you afraid of the dark. That would be sweetest! My older sister really loved Clarissa and I have fond memories of watching it with her even if I was not super in to it., This could be good.
I wonder if salute your shorts could get a reboot. I was a little more into that. I loved the secret world of Alex Mack, and who remembers space cases? I liked that girl with the rainbow hair and sonic scream, and hey Zack the black ranger was in it.

Why though? I mean I loved AYAotD but at the end of the day they're children's horror stories. I can re-watch and enjoy it because of nostalgia but if I wanted to watch new stories I"d just watch something more for my age.
The show had plenty of new "generations" after the original series we all knew and loved. It's not like the original show had tons of recurring characters besides the original kids who did show up in the later seasons as guest characters for nostalgia to blind away kids horror stories. I just don't think horror is a genre where nostalgia goggles can blind you from knowing it's not meant for you. Now if you mean come back for a new generation and that you won't care to watch it then, sure it should happen. Quote:
I think even Clarissa has more potential than Salute your shows. I'm not against revivals, I'm a nostalgia junkie like the many but some properties just don't make sense to reboot. A new Rugrats cartoon? Sure. A new Salute your shorts show? no way. Unless they make a special made specifically for those kids who loved the show, that's the only way it would work. [/QUOTE] I loved the secret world of Alex Mack, and who remembers space cases? I liked that girl with the rainbow hair and sonic scream, and hey Zack the black ranger was in it.[/QUOTE] I was a huge Power Rangers fan as a kid and never noticed the main character was Zack, I must've been blind Alex Mack was indeed great as mentioned, I need to rewatch that, haven't ever done it since I was a kid. Space Cases I did re-watch a few years ago and it's awesome, yeah, it's sci-fi for kids but it works. This show should've been far more successful and more kid friendly sci-fi shows should exist. |

Cool. I hope both Clarissa and her daughter are the focus and break the fourth wall. Like show the stories from both perspectives of a kid and parent.
The cast once appeared on Nick Arcade. That show should return. I’m surprised it hasn’t with how advanced games have gotten. It’s a perfect show to revive.

This could be very very interesting.
I'm intrigued, especially if they get Sam back.
