Nickelodeon is ready to start bringing back shows from another era, for a simple reason: The time is right, says Russell Hicks, the network’s top programming exec, because the people who were fans of those shows now have kids of their own.

Hicks told Variety: “We are looking at our library to bring back ideas, shows that were loved, in a fresh new way.”

The report says retooled versions of “Rugrats,” “Hey Arnold!” and “You Can’t Do That on Television,” among other early Nick hits, could be in the works.

Makes perfect sense. My daughter (now 32) loved You Can't Do That..., and my son (now 28) loved Rugrats.. These shows are timeless. OK - Ren & Stimpy is gross and timeless.
