Nickelodeon Revivals Coming

[ZariusTwo]

Nickelodeon is looking to revisit some of its classic shows, from before the time of “SpongeBob SquarePants” and “Dora the Explorer.”

“We are looking at our library to bring back ideas,” Russell Hicks, the cable channel’s president of content and development, tells Variety, “shows that were loved, in a fresh new way.”

He’s talking about the era of “Rugrats,” “Doug,” “You Can’t Do That on Television” and “Hey Arnold!” According to the website, the plan would see some classics retooled, not necessarily as series but possibly as specials or TV movies.

Hicks wouldn’t reveal which shows are under consideration, but noted that a lot of viewers who grew up watching Nickelodeon now have children of their own. “We are getting ready to bring back some of the ones they’ve told us multiple times they want to have brought back,”he said.

I could go for some new episodes of Doug

[MikeandRaph87]

I thought Disney owned the rights to Doug after Nick sold it following the completion of the syndication package. Disney could have used it to its heart content and is done with it only to sake it back like the Power Rangers intellectusl property, but I suspect if this is for real unlike rumors of the past I think Hey Arnold getting a proper conclusion would be the first up. Also any other show that had some level of popularity and needed a proper bookend.

I have no memory of a show called You Cant Do That On Television. I am very familar with 99s Nick content having sampled most of its offerings at the very least and that does not ring a bell.

[ZariusTwo]

Perhaps they could use the Rugrats revival to retcon AGU?

[Icebot]

Disney had their own Doug series which came after the Nickelodeon one.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Thats because You Cant Do That... was from the 80s. Its from the early days of Nick, and Id love to see it revisited! Especially if they do an original cast reunion or something.

I was thinking it was refering to shows thst began to air between 1991-1999 . The show going furthest back that I remember was reruns of Welcome Freshmen that introduced the green slime gimmick to the network. It will be interesting to see what they do. Maybe it be within the The 90's Are All That programing block.

[drgon78]

What, no Rocko's Modern Life or Aaahh!!! Real Monsters?

[Powder]

It's for the best that Rocko remain in the past. Part of it's charm was that it got away with so much f**ked up stuff that would in no way fly nowadays.

[sdp]

I think most of these shows are best left in the past and I loved most of them. They'd just be a shadow of their former selves and would be cancelled after one season or so. Rugrats would be the only exception since that was huge. I'd be ok with a CG Rugrats franchise, that's the only way I can see that coming back. Doug already got a sequel of sorts with the Disney episodes and we all saw how that turned out. I don't think it's awful but it just can't match the original since it was a product of its time. Disney's Doug did have a few gems here and there though.

[Wildcat]

They've had game shows revived. Figure it Out was the most recent I think. It was pretty much the same. Only lasted a couple seasons. Worst one was Family Guts. It was so boring.

I thought All Grown Up was kinda good. It'd be awesome if Rocko came back. Technology and stuff is so different now it'd be an even more modern life. :lol: this would be my number 1 choice for a comeback.

Second would probably be Kenan and Kel but from the looks of it Kenan doesn't really care about Kel or just wants to forget his Nick days. Either way it's pretty sad.

No, Kenan enjoyed his 6 to 7 years with the network that helped him become Master of The Absurd. He hosted The 90's Are All That block progaming and appeared as a guest star on a recent Nick show. Kel did audition alongside his real-life friend for SNL, but Michaels only chose Kenan. Its nothing on Kenan he is just too busy. A reunion special of the original cast of All That probably would not be out of the realm of possibility.


I would rather put the game shows behind. Double Dare revival did noit work and Figure It Out fared even worse. L3gends of The Hidden Temple or Nick Arcade would be cool to see revamped for modern audiences , but I doubt either would work.

[ssjup81]

I started a thread about You Can't Do That on Television...but it's buried here someplace. I just can't see a show like that being replicated. The charm of the show was that the kids were suffering from having to work on the show with sarcastic and ironic humor.

Personally, I feel the 1981 season was best...in its uncut Canadian form (no laugh track). After 1981, they started to cater to an American audience more. As a kid 1984's season was my favorite. As an adult, the 1979/1981 season I like. Just think...that and Pinwheel helped to really launch the network.

That aside, I honestly couldn't see most of those shows working...other than MAYbe Rugrats. I wouldn't mind a conclusion to Hey Arnold like originally planned. I'd like it to be somewhat like the original if rebooted...kids being kids, not hanging on their cell phones. Only character I don't mind with a phone is Rhonda....and Helga.I was thinking it was refering to shows thst began to air between 1991-1999 . The show going furthest back that I remember was reruns of Welcome Freshmen that introduced the green slime gimmick to the network. It will be interesting to see what they do. Maybe it be within the The 90's Are All That programing block.I'll assume that's a typo. YCDTOTV introduced the slime thing.

No, just playing of my memory. I thought it was WF. I am trying to remember television from when I was 3 and 4 years old. Maybe I blurred the 5wo together. I thought the same show tbe teens stood in lockers talking to each other was the same one that had this lihht blue background where teens were gaked.

L3gends of The Hidden Temple or Nick Arcade would be cool to see revamped for modern audiences , but I doubt either would work.I wasn't implying he didn't enjoy doing the show. I know they both auditioned for Snl and he hosted the 90s block. I've just read they're not close in real life. Not that everything that's said is true but even Kel said in some interview they're not exactly friends anymore.

Double Dare 2000 was good. It was the same except for the triple dare which was an optional challenge anyway. Nick Arcade would be awesome though with today's games.

I thought the same show tbe teens stood in lockers talking to each other was the same one that had this lihht blue background where teens were gaked.Welcome Freshman was from the early 90s and was about a group of high school Freshmen (first year of high school), but it was a comedy show. The second season, none of them were Freshmen anymore, 'cept for...Wayne I think his name was. He failed so it starred him and introduced new kids.

You Can't Do That on Television started in 1979...but we never got that season. We started with the 1981 episodes. It was on until 1990 and in reruns until maybe 1993 or 1994. It was about a bunch of kids working on a comedy show. One of the trademarks of the show were the kids getting something dumped on them (water or slime) if they said something to trigger it. The humor was a bit self-depreciating at times.

Oh man! I can think of two things from this show that wouldn't fly today...

The execution attempt skits by El Capitan and the amigos.

The detention skits in the dungeon.

I don't think kids being in front of a firing squad or seeing them chained to a wall in the dungeon and tortured in some way (promise of food or TV or freedom) with a German dungeon master would fly. In the first season, they used the electric chair.

[DarthRaphael]

I want to see some people get slimed again.

[Dr. Terminus]

I might be the only person in this world who's over here like, "Can I have Eureekas Castle back?"

[MikeandRaph87]

I guess I have seen both shows, but I was so young, I mean preschool age I barely remember them and seemed to have melded them together. Aside from the earliest Nick Jr. stuff I really don't know what would be in Nick pre-1991 with the launch of the first three cartoons. Salute Your Shorts and the Christine Taylor featured Hey Dude stood out to me more and had a longer syndicated run into the late 90s' despite being like 26 episodes each.

I read up on it after I read your post Wildcat, it seems the guys just went there separate ways. Maybe Kel is bitter for Kenan getting picked and him not and thus Kenan will have ongoing success while he just got a few bit parts. Its a shame. I admit I always preferred Kenan even as a kid, but I hoped for more for Kel since he is a nice guy and a hard worker.

It is kind of funny what Nicktoons were able to get away with in Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life with bits and pieces and others shows while other networks had some restraint on them. Like how comedic elements chock held TMNT in particularly 1990-1992(seasons 4-6) while most of this was airing.

They slime people every year at The Kids Choice Awards (but they're most certainly not worth watching...). :trazz:

I loved Salute your Shorts and Hey Dude. The cast of both have made recent appearances at conventions. There's interviews and a sort of reunion of Hey Dude from last year. Should be on YouTube but you could just Google it.

I live like a few hours from where Hey Dude was filmed. There's a youtube video showing the set still exists out in the desert but the buildings are broken down. Its cool but sad to see it a mess.

[Leofan26]

Didn't Nick sell the rights of Doug to Disney? How would they be able to continue with that series if so?

Didn't Klasky Csupo go out of business? I haven't watched those new Rugrats specials or whatever they had going after that do I don't know how that'd work. If they did a reboot they'd have to get rid of Kimmy and Dill right? I'm sure the original fan base wouldn't mind that as they blame those two characters for the decline in quality later seasons.

I don't know how they could reboot Aahh Real Monsters either like some are requesting due to that.

I'd love it if they could give the Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius an actual proper conclusion but from what I understand the Animation studio shut down. I wasn't exactly impressed with Planet Sheen's Animation from what I saw. Though I wouldn't mind if they gave Planet Sheen a conclusion either, TV movie or whatever, leaving Sheen on a planet for low ratings LOL.

I'm glad they are going through with that Jungle film, makes me happy that they finally doing it. I'd rather it end with that though, no reboot meh.

[ssjup81]

Didn't Nick sell the rights of Doug to Disney? How would they be able to continue with that series if so? Yeah, think so. I used to like watching Disney's Doug as well as the original back then. I guess I just had no preference over them. I liked that they aged and stuff and that things changed in the town...like what happens in real life.Didn't Klasky Csupo go out of business?I guess another company would have to take over. I forgot Klasky-Csupo went out of business. Didn't the couple divorce or something?I haven't watched those new Rugrats specials or whatever they had going after that do I don't know how that'd work.There were specials? lol I just know about the AGU series. I liked it for what it was and ironically, during the original run of Rugrats, I used to wish that they would age them up. lolIf they did a reboot they'd have to get rid of Kimmy and Dill right? I'm sure the original fan base wouldn't mind that as they blame those two characters for the decline in quality later seasons. I don't think so. I think people were growing bored of the show in a general sense. I know for me that was the case. I was starting to grow bored of Rugrats way before the first movie...but to be fair, I was in my teens at that point so that was probably why I was getting bored of the series. I had no problem with Dil or Kimi, actually. For AGU, I favored both, ironically. lolI don't know how they could reboot Aahh Real Monsters either like some are requesting due to that.Yeah, this is another show I couldn't see properly being brought back.

Nickelodeon is planning a crossover film featuring the classic Nick toons in a film similar to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit": http://www.tracking-board.com/tb-exclusive-90s-nicktoons-set-to-make-a-comeback-in-paramount-crossover-movie/

Now more than ever, the intense wave of 1990s nostalgia is at its height, with a slew of upcoming TV shows and movies planned to capitalize on the collective desire for a return of these cherished properties. Just this week even, Nickelodeon announced a plan to reboot ’90s favorites in a fresh new way.

Well, it’s time for millennials to rejoice, because the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon series of the ’90s are making a return in the biggest way possible. Sources exclusively confirm to The Tracking Board that Paramount Pictures is in the early stages of developing a massive live-action/animated crossover film featuring characters from hit ’90s Nick cartoons. Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, and more are coming together for what’s being pitched as a Justice League or Avenger’s-esque team-up film called NICKTOONS.

Citing The Lego Movie, Space Jam, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and Wreck It Ralph as influences, Nicktoons is poised to follow a similar model, employing a hefty amount of self-referential humor and charm.

Our sources say that Mary Parent is leading the charge on this one, working with the studio to develop and lock down the rights to the individual series. Parent and Cale Boyter are producing the pic via their shingle, Disruption Entertainment, which signed an overall deal with Paramount this past March.

Parent of course has a proven track record with adapting Nickelodeon cartoons into successful features, having produced this year’s Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Nickelodeon Movies, which is a subsidiary of Paramount, is also producing, while Elizabeth Raposo will oversee for the studio.

Paramount is currently in discussions with different writers, looking for the perfect scribe to tackle a project balancing such immensely beloved properties.


Naysayers ought not to fear, as our sources say that the creators have no intentions to bastardize or update the characters unfavorably, only to create a fun adventure reuniting audiences with the treasured cartoons in an exciting new approach, pleasing old fans and creating new ones. Though, creators have to tread lightly, as they run the risk of making another Rugrats Go Wild, which was an ill-received and poorly conceived crossover that just didn’t mesh.

In this reporter’s opinion, news of the project is mind-blowing, but it’s that kind of crazy where the film could potentially be the best thing ever. Though all the included series haven’t yet been ironed out, we’re hoping Catdog, Ahh!!! Real Monsters, and Doug are also invited to the party, because that would be awesome.

—TO SEE ALL THE PROJECT DETAILS

[Wildcat]

That sounds pretty cool. Still would like to see some of the shows themselves return like Rocko.

[IndigoErth]

Most intrigued by the suggestion of "You Can't Do That on Television." That's really old school Nick right there - the grandfather/mother of the entire Nick slime concept. I could see a new version of that working.

I wouldn't mind seeing "Out of Control" come back either. Maybe Dave Coulier can host it again. :D

As for the old Nick cartoons... eh. Depends on how it's done I guess, I don't imagine it ever being as good as the originals. If they have a Nick Jr. channel for the youngest set, why not make a Nick Sr. channel for older viewers with all the now "retro" stuff?

Personally, before considering reboots of shows I'm no longer invested in, I'd rather see what I actually love - that being TMNT - given a bit more consideration in the scheduling and promotion first. I liked Rugrats, etc, but they could never hold a candle to the Turtles. Rugrats already tried that second series which was just "ok" imo.

[Powder]

Holy sh*t, that's pretty crazy.

[TurtleTitan97]

All I want to see is just a CGI/Live Action Reptar wrecking everything in sight for AT LEAST 15 Minutes, with the Nicktoons trying to stop him. I don't even care how crazy that sounds, I've wanted to see this in a film ever since I was a kid, just like that one episode of Rugrats "Runaway Reptar"! GIVE US REPTAR, VIACOM!!!

Looks like it's NOT revivals but a MAJOR Crossover movie!!! :o

Crossover city ahoy!!!

The film, called Nicktoons, will include the casts of Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, and even more characters that have yet to be revealed. The creators plan to maintain the integrity of the original characters—the only difference is that they'll all team up in an Avengers-style crossover that's sure to blow every 90's kid's mind.

Rugrats/AGU is in a unique situation and I haven't seen Disney's Doug but Rocko shouldn't need a reboot. It could just pick again with new storylines.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow! A crossover movie? Sounds interesting. I liked Rugrats and Doug was okay though I never watched a lot of it. Never liked Rocko or Ren and Stimpy.

[Leofan26]

I have no idea how that's going to work, Beavers mixed in with Rugrats will be really weird LOL.

I hope they can get a lot of the VAs back for this and maybe some of the shows writers back from the other shows.

Poor Chickie will be freaking out all the entire film.

I'm still wondering if they can work with Doug, I mean Disney still has the rights to it.

I still would rather have Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie to bookend the series, but...
http://phillyshomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/meme-notbad-1.jpg

[sdp]

Now a crossover movie is a great idea, this will be a huge nostalgia blast, hope Doug makes it in but somehow doubt it since Disney owns the IP I think. Yeah didn't really want revivals of most of these. I still think a CG Rugrats reboot could work.

[turtlefanforever]

I came here to post about the crossover. Good stuff. I wish it was in addition to the jungle movie though. Lots of shows deserve a proper conclusion.

[sdp]

This movie sounds like a love letter to kids who grew up in the 90s as well as a fun movie for kids today. I don't think this movie will be like Rugrats gone wild since that movie tried to put two different universes grounded in reality. Counting their influences for this movie are Who Framed Roger Rabbit/Space Jam and Wreck it Ralph I don't think they'll actually try to make a movie that's grounded in reality, it'll be a wacky but fun story not meant to actually have say Hey Arnold be in continuity with Rocko for example so yeah Aaah! Real Monsters will surely bet here as will all of K-C toons which AFAIK is still a company and they were looking into getting a new Rugrats show a few years ago. Doug is still owned by Disney so sadly he won't make it in, I hope they sneak in at least a reference there since he was a big part of what Nicktoons were.

I also think this movie might serve as a revival one or two of these franchises for better or worse.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I wonder if they will get as many of the original voice actor back? I mean tommy frm rugrats is gonna soud strange without E.G. Daily voicing.

I am all for more Ahhh Real monsters, still love that show now.

[THGhost]

They should bring back The Angry Beavers. Sure, they cancelled it because it broke one of Nick's rules, but that's all in the past now.

Perhaps they could use the Rugrats revival to retcon AGU?

Yes please!

[senpai]

I think we can all agree that Hey Arnold! was by far the most superior cartoon on Nick way back when. :P That one deserves the revival or it can continue to RIP. Either way it wins.

[Cure]

I think we can all agree that Hey Arnold! was by far the most superior cartoon on Nick way back when.

Nah, we can't all agree on that.

[sdp]

Is there even a general consensus? I liked Arnold a lot but I don't think it was the best. I think for me it was Doug. If Disney was interested enough in acquiring it then it must've been the biggest thing Nick had not named Rugrats. Really enjoyed almost everything they put out though, Aah! Real Monsters, Rugrats, Rocko, Angry Beavers etc. I'm usre I'm missing some old favorites. It wasn't until Catdog/Rocket Power/Wild thorn berries that I lost interest but then again that's about the time I was becoming a teenager and had different tastes.

Yeah that was about the time I lost interest in Nick cartoons as well. I loved Angry Beavers... I actually wouldn't mind seeing a new version of that. I bet that'd be really funny.

[sdp]

Well isn't the 00's when Nick radically changed? I'm guessing all their original audience was growing up by then and they had a totally different demographic now instead of us wild 90s kids. I guess it worked too since they seem to still be somewhat relevant even if not in their 90s ways. We can be proud that we made Nick what it is though similar to how 80s kids made MTV.

[ssjup81]

Wonder if they could get the Rocket Power characters in there. Sure Otto, Twister, and Sam would need to be recast since their voice actors were kids and boys...but what the hey. Oh Tito would need to be recast as well since his voice actor died a few years ago.

[MikeandRaph87]

I think we can all agree that Hey Arnold! was by far the most superior cartoon on Nick way back when. :P That one deserves the revival or it can continue to RIP. Either way it wins.

I can agree with you. I sampled all Nicktoons debuted between 1991-1999 and its easily my favorite.

[DarthRaphael]

Best Nick toon? Have you all forgot about Ren and Stimpy??? :tsad:

[senpai]

Ren & Stimpy is still very good too. Ren might be my favorite cartoon character of all time. The only thing that sucked is after the creator left after season 2, the show lost it's edge.

Hey Arnold! stayed consistent...forgot how many seasons it had but yeah. Both were fantastic shows!

I love it when Ren gets mad.
i24cgZIBa-s

[turtlefanforever]

Best Nick toon? Have you all forgot about Ren and Stimpy??? :tsad:

That show really pushed the boundaries. I wouldn't say it was bad but i don't think it was the best. It's all personal preference. It's not as good to watch as an adult. i remember watching it a few years ago and i picked up on a lot of stuff and i wasn't feeling it. I understand it's merits though.

Also they should do one for the early 2000's too if only to put invader zim in there cause i feel like a clash between him and some of the 90's shows would be crazy, invader zim and anyone else would be pretty rad actually.

Imagine zim meeting jimmy neutron?!

[senpai]

Now...Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm relying only on memory here, but didn't Jhonen Vasquez push Invader Zim a little far in some episodes as well? I loved that show when I was in high school but watching it now and having a different sense of humor I can say only from a personal perspective that Zim doesn't hold strong anymore.

I also just wanna say one last thing thing about Arnold and then I'll shut up. Dat music! So good!

[Dr. Terminus]

Hey Arnold! all the way. I'd take any of the 90s toons and be a happy camper though.

[THGhost]

So apparently Nicktoons is developing a live-action/animated hybrid movie featuring a ton of Nicktoons characters with Paramount, including Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy and The Angry Beavers. This pleases me a lot! :tcool:

That's already been posted.

I see that. I just posted it again to annoy you. :P j/k. I was just posting how I felt about it.

It's great that The Angry Beavers are gonna be included. That's mighty big of Nick after they supposedly broke one of their rules. And I guess it looks like Rugrats' "All Grown Up" is gonna be completely retconned by this movie, and I'm okay with that. :P

Not necessarily. Turtles Forever is cannon for the 2003 cartoon, but not the 1987 cartoon as it is more parody and not taken directly from the series is itself lending a specific point in which the characters crossover with the 2003 series. If this mega crossover has a specific show at the center of it is likely non-canon for any series.

Anything to make people not think about All Grown Up is fine by me. :P

Hopefully this will lead to some Nicktoons getting DVD releases. I'm sure there'll be some that either didn't get any or didn't get every episode released. I know Shout Factory released all of Angry Beavers and Hey Arnold not that long ago which is awesome.

The whole Hey Arnold! series of 100 episodes is only $20 at your local Wal-Mart. Its the best deal of any complete series that lasted more than a single season long.

It's great that The Angry Beavers are gonna be included. That's mighty big of Nick after they supposedly broke one of their rules.

No one who cared about this "rule" that worked at Nickelodeon in the 90s is still working there.

Not necessarily. Turtles Forever is cannon for the 2003 cartoon, but not the 1987 cartoon as it is more parody and not taken directly from the series is itself lending a specific point in which the characters crossover with the 2003 series. If this mega crossover has a specific show at the center of it is likely non-canon for any series.
Turtles forever is meant to be in continuity for both shows even if there are a ton of contradictions in the way the OT turtles were treated.


Anything to make people not think about All Grown Up is fine by me. :P

Why is All Grown Up so hated?
I only watched an episode or two because I was a teenager and didn't care about it at the time but even then while it was weird having them as teenagers the episodes were far from bad, it was what it was, a kids show.

Thank God. Here's hoping they renew a bunch of their old shows for full new seasons, including Angry Beavers.

I'm making it so obvious that I'm a huge Angry Beavers fan, aren't I? :P

No problem. Check Wal-Mart while supplies last.

Nick is on fire lately. Let's hope they actually follow through with all these plans.

[ZariusTwo]

Nick announced at their TV Upfront that they will be reviving Legends of the Hidden Temple as a TV Movie, and officially confirmed that the Hey Arnold! special will be a two-part event

Legends of the Hidden Temple as a movie? I wish they'd just revive the series.

Jungle Movie official!

[MikeandRaph87]

I was hoping to see The Jungle Movie by the year's end. Even longer of a wait? Blah. Two movies? Is it like two one hour specials, perhaps? It would be nice to get a bow on this wrap up.

[sdp]

I'm not even sure if I saw the last season of Hey Arnold and I didn't see the movie, I used to love the show though. Not really excited about the new movies for some reason though. I'm more excited about the silly crossover movie. I'll still be watching it and probably re-watching the whole show again.

[ZariusTwo]

Missed this from last month, but it's been confirmed Helga's sister Olga will be in the movie

Whelp! That'll be the day I wear my shirt!
Little known fact: I got to do Double Dare back in 1991.

[sdp]

I wonder how successful this nostalgia really is, I mean Nickelodeon like it or not is a kids network and even if the internet nerds like these announcements, they may get them tweeting and talking about it on social media but how many will actually watch and how many kids will actually care. It's not like they moved away from that style because they wanted but because they had to move on with their times. Do kids today really like all that 90s crap? Don't get me wrong I love it but I just don't see how any of these things make any business sense.

I'm guessing since we're getting so many announcements and they're being so aggressive about it that their previous give them some nostalgia programming really worked for them but that still seems like a boneheaded decision, you can get people to watch one "special" moment but the majority of the audience isn't going to stick with it even if it's a great re-creation of the original because they just aren't kids and kids today likely won't relate to it.

It's almost as if the guy in charge is someone who grew up in the 90s and the reason their doing all of this. I also see all this entitlement from cybernauts about how things shouldn't change. It's sad but you have to move on. Imagine if 80s kids had held back the 90s because they didn't want their decade to change. That's basically what I get from a lot of the sheep mentality of the internet. Again I love all of this happening but it just doesn't make any sense.

[plastroncafe]

Just sit back and enjoy the pandering.
I know I am.

[Allio]

THe only revival I think I could get behind if they My Life as a Teenage Robot, but more action packed rather than focusing on the school aspect.

Then lead it to XJ-9 vs Danny

[thundermaster612]

I feel that these guys should wait a while until they actually revive these, like start production now, release later on after people are done with the reboot fetish. Even if Nick is doing good right now it still can fail.

[Sage Ninja]

Does any one remember the Tomorrow People that aired in the 90's?

and Space Cases?

LO0JBFlof90


These were not quite so popular I think as the other shows and I know this is mostly focused on 90's toons but i thought some of the L.A. 90's shows were cool. I think I was the only one that liked Space Cases though...


I think Are you Afraid of the Dark should get a revival. This show used to genuinely scare when I was itty bitty. No joke I could not watch this unless my older sister was there with me. But I still loved it. The Intro would just freak me out:

3pBBLN0w7NY

[MikeandRaph87]

Yes, I remember Space Cases. I watched it during its entire brief two seasons run. Walter Emmanuel Jones or the Black Ranger playing one of the three older students during its run was the initial reason I watched it. Something about a teacher and his five students being sucked into a black hole and it took seven years to get back while dealing with an evil race that plagued them and took one of the students in a standoff to finish the first season. It was cheesy and dark at times if a 19 year old member serves.

I remember Space Cases and when I saw it for the first time I thought to myself, "OMG, it's Zack from Power Rangers!" I did like some of episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, but most of them really did creep me out as a kid.

[Cryomancer]

Tomorrow People both was a remake and has already since been remade again.

[MikeandRaph87]

Thank you for finding the time, Ranger Scout.So that would make it 12:30 AM EST on a Saturday, correct? I wanted to see it, but its airing bit late.

[sdp]

I loves space cases, and I rewatched it a few years ago and still held up as a geat sci-fi show for kids. It was a show that didn't appeal to me at all but one day watched it since there was nothing else and liked it. Definitely underrated.

I remember the Tomorrow People very vaguely and was a huge fan but it didn't air very often. I've never rewatched it since the synopsis on wikipedia makes it seem terrible. Are you afraid of the dark? I think everyone remembers and gets constant praise. It's pretty good for what it was and definitely scary for kids. I was never a big fan of Wild and Crazy kids or Double Dare but did love Legends of the Hidden Temple, Gutz and Figure it Out when it came to game shows.

New episodes of Double Dare coming this summer. Hopefully GUTS is next.

I can only hope they're in need of some past contestants, because...I would do this again in a heart beat!

You were on Double Dare?! That's cool!

[plastroncafe]

I sort of was, yeah.
In the early nineties they took double dare on the road, this was right about the time they were building their theme park in Florida.

After a couple of audition trials my family and I got to do an episode of Double Dare in a local sporting Arena.
Marc and Robin were there, and we could all the way through the obstacle course with like 10 seconds to spare.
And that is how I came to have a Sega Genesis.

[sdp]

I've never been a big fan of game shows, the only ones I've loved have been Nicks for the most part:

Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out and Global Guts.

I was lucky enough that a Nickelodeon show used to come to the amusement park of my home town for a summer(or 2) where they had an event called "U Pick Nick and because I went so often I got to participate twice.

The event was a mixture of the different game shows with each "round" being a different game from one of the many shows. I got to build the Silver Monkey, answer random Nick trivia, Solve a Nick Puzzles and got slimed!

I used to go to Universal Studios Florida a lot but sadly I never saw a show being filmed let alone participate but it was always my dream so the U Pick Nick show was the next best thing.

That's pretty rad. There was an Australian version that ran from 89 to 92, on free to air TV (the only kind of TV there was at the time). I would have loved to have played Double Dare, but I don't know if they ever came to the West coast.

[Storm Eagle]

New episodes of Double Dare coming this summer. Hopefully GUTS is next.

http://ew.com/tv/2018/04/25/double-dare-returning-nickelodeon/

I'm hoping the new Double Dare goes back to 2-player teams. For some reason, Double Dare 2000 was just so-so to me because its teams were families. Another thing I noticed about DD2K was that there was always one physical challenge per round. When I got to watch reruns of the original, I saw that more than one physical challenge could happen in one round.

By the way, GUTS has already had a revival.

I wonder how revivals would work for other games shows like Finders Keepers, Think Fast, Get the Picture, Nick Arcade, and Make the Grade.
