Nickelodeon Revivals Coming
 
Quote:

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 09-02-2015 02:57 PM

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 09-02-2015 03:06 PM

Perhaps they could use the Rugrats revival to retcon AGU?

Icebot 09-02-2015 03:07 PM

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

MsMarvelDuckie 09-02-2015 03:11 PM

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.

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

Powder 09-02-2015 08:44 PM

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 09-02-2015 10:38 PM

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 09-02-2015 11:14 PM

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 09-02-2015 11:27 PM

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'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.

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.

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.

I want to see some people get slimed again.

Dr. Terminus 09-03-2015 09:00 AM

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

MikeandRaph87 09-03-2015 10:36 AM

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.

Well I don't think Kel is bitter. He seems more disappointed they drifted apart.

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 09-04-2015 01:27 PM

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.

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.

I guess another company would have to take over. I forgot Klasky-Csupo went out of business. Didn't the couple divorce or something?

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. lol

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. lol

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-exc...ossover-movie/

Quote:

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 09-05-2015 11:16 PM

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

IndigoErth 09-05-2015 11:24 PM

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 09-05-2015 11:25 PM

Holy sh*t, that's pretty crazy.

TurtleTitan97 09-05-2015 11:29 PM

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!!!

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.

They used to have Nick Gas which aired old game shows and Teenick has the 90s block but hardly shows the live action stuff.

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 09-06-2015 07:38 AM

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 09-06-2015 11:15 AM

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.

sdp 09-06-2015 12:50 PM

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 09-06-2015 05:15 PM

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.

sdp 09-06-2015 07:38 PM

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 09-08-2015 01:59 AM

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 09-08-2015 12:34 PM

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.

senpai 09-11-2015 12:06 AM

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.
