Nickelodeon Revivals Coming

I could go for some new episodes of Doug
|
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. |
Perhaps they could use the Rugrats revival to retcon AGU?
|
Disney had their own Doug series which came after the Nickelodeon one.
|
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.

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

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. |
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. Quote:

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. |

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. |
I want to see some people get slimed again.
|
I might be the only person in this world who's over here like, "Can I have Eureekas Castle back?"
|
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. |

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. |
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. |

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-exc...ossover-movie/

That sounds pretty cool. Still would like to see some of the shows themselves return like Rocko.
|
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. |
Holy sh*t, that's pretty crazy.
|
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!!! Quote:

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. |
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.
|
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. |

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.
|
cool
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.

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. |
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. |
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.

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.
