Rugrats and Other Classic Nickelodeon Shows Could Come Back

A Nickelodeon executive has come forward to say the network's famous '90s animated show, Rugrats, could come back through a revival series or movie.

According to EW, Nickelodeon executive Michael Sammaciccia said this week at New York Comic-Con that the network is looking at "all" of its franchises for possible revivals.

Nickelodeon has already announced TV movies based on Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, and Legends of the Hidden Temple, while Double Dare is coming back for a 30th anniversary special. Rugrats could be next to return, though nothing is confirmed at this stage.

"What's happening with [Legends of the Hidden Temple] is that it's allowing Nickelodeon to look at the rich library they have, and not just Rugrats," Sammaciccia said. "All of them are being considered."

Rugrats creators Paul Germain, Arlene Klasky, and Gabor Csupo spoke to EW about what they would like to see from a potential revival. Germain said one idea would be to keep the show in the '90s.

"I think that’d be cool. Cell phones can be interesting, but technology has a funny way of making it very difficult to write around because people are always in constant communication with each other in a way that works against drama," he said. "It takes a really fun writers' obstacle away and makes it too easy."
