    Nickelodeon to remake old 90's cartoons? (Nope)

    Did not see a thread for this, but honestly did not look hard (first 2 pages here)

    If this is true..... my god.

    If this is fake

    Spoiler: show
    Teenagers can finally rejoice because they now will be receiving what they have been talking about for years. For awhile now teens have been wishing that Nickelodeon will finally put their favorite cartoons back on the air and now their wish will come true.

    Starting March 14, 2011, Nickelodeon will go back into the studios to produce new episodes for classic cartoons such as: Rocket Power, Doug, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, the Angry Beavers, and many more.

    Cyma Zarghami, who runs the television station was quoted saying, "We have noticed a significant drop in ratings since our show from the late 1990's. We have strayed from our cartoons and we believe that was our biggest mistake. We have contacted the producers from these shows and we were able to work out a deal to get them back to making new episodes."

    It is not known whether or not the shows will try to create new concepts for the characters, or if they will pick up from where they left off years ago. Rumors have been circulating that the kids in the shows have now aged and will be moving on with their lives. For instance, the gang from Rocket Power now have taken the leap into their teenage years and now attend high school in Ocean Shores, or Arnold and his pals from Hey Arnold, have now moved on from elementary school to middle school in New York.

    Whatever new ideas they bring to the table they will be welcomed with open arms and hopefully they can remove the bad taste in our mouths from terrible shows that are on Nick now like iCarly, Big Time Rush, and TUFF Puppy.

    Zarghami has not stated if the shows will be brought back full time or if it is making a comeback for a limited time to revitalize the Nickelodeon networks poor reputation in the new Millennium for cartoons and other shows. After the last episode of Rocket Power was aired, kids thought the only hope for Nickelodeon was Spongebob Squarepants but even that once great cartoon has had its own fall from grace.

    Please be true, please be true, please be true! *squee*

    I honestly didn't even know Nickelodeon was still on. I figured Disney ran them out after all the good shows went off the air.

    TMNT doesn't count as a Nicktoon so remaking it as a Nicktoon...meh.

    Angry Beavers coming back is only exciting if the original creators/writers are all back.

    Also yeah wtf happened to the first thread made on this subject, it's not showing up in search or the first three pages of BenGeek.

    As much as I wish I could get excited about this, I don't think I ever seen a good reboot.

    As for the TNMT reboot I heard it's going to be CG like the movie that came out a few years ago instead of being animated like the 80s cartoon. Though that's not a bad thing since aside from no Shredder I loved that movie.

    or if they will pick up from where they left off years ago.
    God I hope not. This was the reason most of those shows started failing in the first place.

    Actually now that I think about it, maybe a reboot of these cartoons isn't so hot. I began to think back to Rugrats for example. They made those "teenage years" Rugrats and it sucked horribly. Doug might be okay though. :<

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Please be true please be true.

    If only WB/Spielberg could take a page from this book and bring back these:

    They tried Rugrats: All Grown Up, no thanks. However, new Ahh! Real Monsters, Angry Beavers, ChalkZone, Wild Tornberries (Fucking love Tim Curry) and Invader Zim would be awesome.
