10 Upcoming TV Show Reboots (And Their Chances Of Survival)
7. Rocko's Modern Life
The Original: Nickelodeon made some gloriously weird cartoons in the 1990s (Aaahh! Real Monsters, Ren & Stimpy, CatDog) and Rocko’s Modern Life was a perfect addition. Centered around an affable Australian wallaby trying to settle into American life, the writers weren't afraid to inject tongue-n-cheek adult jokes into the kid’s show. Considering the popularity of the show during its original 1993-1996 run, a comeback for Rocko doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
The Reboot: We’re not getting a full-fledged new batch of episodes, (don’t start crying yet) but we are getting a movie titled Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling. The movie will throw the characters into a world even more modern than they remember after having been trapped in outer space since 1996. Best of all, the series’ original creators and cast are all on-board for the project.
Chance Of Survival: There’s really nothing not to like about this if you were a fan of the original show. 1 April 2018, Nickelodeon… be there.
