8 Animated Shows That Need An Adult Revamp

6. KaBlam!

Invader Zim
Nickelodeon

The first episode of KaBlam! aired in October of 1996, running for four seasons through early 2000. KaBlam! was the only animated program on Nickelodeon's SNICK lineup, meant for slightly older audiences, possibly making its transition to adult content the easiest leap on this list.

KaBlam was a sketch comedy show, utilizing a variety of animation styles and creators. Hosted by two animated children Henry and June as they introduced different segments, using a comic as a framing device. Most notable shorts and cartoons included Action League Now!, Prometheus and Bob and Angela Anaconda

Perhaps what makes KaBlam! an ideal selection for a leap toward mature content is its' format as a variety program. Although it would be nice to see the Action League Now! figures back in play, the show is in no way hitched to its previous shorts and sketches. They could offer a new group of creators the opportunity to showcase their work, giving audiences a fresh spin on a show that has an obscure following.

If you need a comparison, you can look towards Adult Swim's Robot Chicken. In this particular case, however, an adult KaBlam! reboot could realistically top Seth Green's creation and pave the way for a new collection of animated content.
