Ughhh just let old things rest in peace

Are there any children's shows that have been rebooted as adult shows in order to grow with their audience? I'd totally watch the Fairly Odd Parents with adult humor.

Samurai Jack's final season comes to mind. The first couple of episodes were amazing. It took the best parts of the show and made it a lot more serious.

[–] ifDogsCouldTalk 13 points 10 months ago

The whole show is serious.

The adventure time spin off Fiona and Cake, was weird seeing fin just murder a monster and it have real blood

They didn't reboot them as shows, but Invader Zim and Rocko's Modern Life got some modern 90 minute features and they were very much made for the adults who grew up with the old shows.

To a lesser extent, the same with the Animaniacs reboot.

Too bad Timmy looses them when he is getting older. So no post >18 content with them.
Dunno how fun 16 y/o timmy would be.

[–] moistclump 5 points 10 months ago

I don’t think they would wanna see what Timmy’s up to most of the day at 16. Maybe puberty should be the cut off…

Well, there was Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon...but we don't talk about that one.

iCarly? I didn't end up watching it but I think they like drink and stuff

Not sure about 'aldut humor', that would probably cross a line for networks image.

Avatar Korra was definatly more for teens than ATLA.

Ben 10 also grew up with audience, making them teens and eventually rebooting the IP to milk the next generation.

Spongebob's hidden adult humor pretty much disapeared as the years went on. (Doubt we"ll ever see something like the panty raid again).

Teen Titans go is the opposite, taking a more teenage show and making it for younger kids.

Didn't Rugrats have a version where they were teens?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

All Grown Up. Was geared more towards a tween/ young teen audience than anything else from what I recall.

[–] son_named_bort 4 points 10 months ago

Velma, although I've not heard good things about that show.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Closest I can think of, despite it probably being more of a show aimed at teens and young adults, would be Ren and Stimpy with their failed Adult Party Cartoon. Other than that, I can't think of any examples.

[–] cm0002 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait, when did the old one go off the air in the first place? I thought it was another SpongeBob or Simpsons and they just keep pumping new episodes out lmao

[–] ALilOff 13 points 10 months ago

I think the show stopped in like 2017

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 21 points 10 months ago

I'll give it a chance but it'll be weird without Timmy.

[–] clearleaf 21 points 10 months ago

Possibly the least asked for reboot I've ever heard of. That's a high bar these days.

[–] Jomega 18 points 10 months ago

They spent the last few seasons demonstrating that they were thoroughly tapped out of ideas. Just let it die. Please. It hurts to see you like this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

When the Cosmo VA was changed in LATAM I stopped caring about this, I still think it went on the bad side on its own though...
