Nickelodeon to remake some of their '90s cartoons! College students rejoice!

A few days ago I was flipping through the channels on my TV, went by Nickelodeon, and remembered when I used to watch it all the time. I also remembered how disappointed I was when the shows that I liked started disappearing one by one. Eventually there was no longer anything good on the channel- I determined at that point that channel was, for the most part, geared at kids younger than I was. I wasn't interested in the few shows that were suitable for kids of my age, and for years after I never turned Nickelodeon on. I had lost all hope in a station that at one time was my favorite. 

Last night I was cruising a chan site, and saw a picture that caught my eye. The subject was completely unrelated to the picture, but I still investigated the picture. Clicking on it opened a new tab, and this beautiful image popped up in a new tab.

I was pretty excited about this. I instantly nostalgia'd to my younger years, plopped in front of my TV watching these shows for hours on end.  I haven't been able to find an official announcement from Nickelodeon about this, but there's postings all over the web about it. I'm hoping this is legitimate, and not some cruel hoax aimed at those of us in our late teens and early-mid 20s. Assuming this is true I'm excited to see some of the new episodes of these classic shows, and I know many other people are as well. I hope Nick sticks to the way the shows were, and doesn't try to change them. One thing I'm wondering about is if they'll spend a couple episodes explaining the shows' absence in the storyline, or if they'll continue on like nothing happened. Personally I hope it's the latter, I want to get back to my old cartoons!

So what do you all think about this? I'm interested to hear your opinion. Also, if you can find a definite announcement of this I'd love to see it.

  1. wow, this is probably the best news i heard all day. I hope they do a good job remaking them though because they can easily ruin people's childhood memories of the cartoons they liked.

  2. I prefer the original. Who needs remakes when you can just watch the good 'ol stuff? Plus i could see them butchering it somehow, and that would just be no good :c +1 follow.

  9. Leave the classics alone. You don't see anyone re-writing Hamlet. That reminds me of a hilarious movie.

  11. Awesome! It sounds almost to good to be true and I hadn't heard about it before. I dunno about Doug though, doesn't Disney own the rights to that now?

  15. As awesome as this would be, I am afraid it would be a hoax. On the list, the only cartoon I'm really excited about was Doug.

    And I didn't really follow that religiously.

    I suppose now that we're all 20somethings, they've got a new cash cow to milk.

  16. Part of me loves this and then I feel that it will get messed up.

    I do think kids nowadays need better cartoons, but I think they will take old cartoons and add the current cartoon formula to it....

    I dunno, but I am curious of the outcome.


    btw followed! Nice blog.
