    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. It took the best parts of the show and made it a lot more serious.

        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.

      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.

      To a lesser extent, the same with the Animaniacs reboot.

        All Grown Up. Was geared more towards a tween/ young teen audience than anything else from what I recall.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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…
