And its not because they were different, but because they were good.
Id love to see all three of them come back.
Co-creator Paul Germain says its a possibility, if Nickelodeon is so inclined.
Its completely up to them, but I think it could be interesting, he tells EW.
I thought they lost the spirit of it.
I dont know if we could really do that, but thats what I would like to see.
I think its possible.
Lipschitzis all about those baby apps.)
Life has changed 25 years later, so the technology has changed, says Klasky.
Kids worlds have changed.
Now kids are in kindergarten learning how to code.
I mean, thats amazing.
I think [a reboot] would need to mirror our time now.
And it would be relevant with the fans, from what I hear.
They like all the nostalgia.
It only gives us lots of stuff to work with.
Germain says hed rather keep aRugratsreboot as a time capsule.
I think thatd be cool.
It takes a really fun writers obstacle away and makes it too easy.
For Jinkins, time has certainly passed, and Doug would be living in a New York City metropolis.
I havent written the whole screenplay, but some stories are written, says Jinkins.
Judy would be a performance artist off, off, off Broadway, just kind of doing weird stuff.
But, as Jinkins stresses, the outlook is grim despite his best efforts.
In the past, they have expressed interest in a play.
Now, that would be a great play.
So, I dont know!
But that experiment lasted less than two months.
Doesnt look like it, Kricfalusi says.
At least not without the creator of this creator-driven show.
