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.

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.

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@lemmy.world 9 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.

I refuse to believe Ren and Stimpy was ever a kids show

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?
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 months ago
All Grown Up. Was geared more towards a tween/ young teen audience than anything else from what I recall.
Purplexingg@lemmy.world 9 months ago
iCarly? I didn’t end up watching it but I think they like drink and stuff
son_named_bort@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Velma, although I’ve not heard good things about that show.
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 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.

Possibly the least asked for reboot I’ve ever heard of. That’s a high bar these days.
Jomega@lemmy.world 9 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.

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@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I think the show stopped in like 2017
ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’ll give it a chance but it’ll be weird without Timmy.

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…

This should be done as a live action show.
Or not at all.
generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 9 months ago
You mean like the live-action movie they already made?
cm0002@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yo wtf. Hell no, just about every cartoon-turned-live action has been dog shit (at best), how could you even advocate for such crap?
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Exactly, if they’re going to ruin it then ruin it properly so we may all ignore it like the avatar movie.
Arbiter@lemmy.world 9 months ago
why?
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
I want to see it be so awful we all ignore it
