With the recent success of the new "DuckTales" series, I was wondering if there were any other classic cartoon shows that could be properly reintroduced to younger viewers. The following are five shows that sprung into my head while think on this.

These are the shows that were beloved in their day and are viewed as classics today. These are the cartoons that have the potential to reach a new audience with updated stories and characters while still keeping the core appeal of the original. These five also have also been some of my personal favorites to watch as a child and as an adult.

These are shows that gave me the most interesting ideas and concepts to work with. With all of that out of the way, let's get this list started.

5. "Danny Phantom"

According to recent reports, this revival has the greatest potential of happening soon. The series originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007. The show centered around a young boy who, through an accident, gains the powers of a ghost and has to capture ghosts and send them back to the ghost dimension. Think of it as a beautiful combination of "Spider-Man" and "The Ghostbusters". A revival of the show could continue the shows plot and how the characters have changed after all these years. We could see how the romance between Danny and Sam has developed. I also think that it would be interesting if characters like Valerie Gray and Dani would unite with Danny. They could introduce new ghost powered beings and form a sort of ghost themed Avengers that the adult Danny is the head of. We could see younger recruits being taught by older versions of characters to fight a new evil.

4. "Kim Possible"

"Kim Possible" was a show that aired on the Disney Channel from 2002 to 2007 about a teenage girl, named Kim Possible, and her friend/sidekick Ron Stoppable who act as secret agents who thwart villains and their evil plans. It was basically a mixture of a traditional high school/teenage drama and "Mission: Impossible" (if you you didn't already know that from the main character's "subtle" name). The new show could do a complete reboot. Keep the characters, but update the teenage/high school drama to fit with the unique problems that teens go through now as apposed to the ones the teens went through in the early 2000s when the original show aired. The new show, like my suggestion with "Danny Phantom", could continue the story of the original. We can watch an adult Kim and Ron deal with more adult problems in their lives, such as jobs, bills, and/or raising a family. This could also be mirrored in their secret agent missions as they fight more adult threats rather than the comedic villains of the high school days. Kim and Ron can reminisce on the simplicity of those early years, which the now adult fans can relate to.

3. "Ed, Edd, n Eddy"

"Ed, Edd, n Eddy" was a cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network for an impressive 10 years (1999 to 2009). The show focused around three young boys. Their is the lovable dummy Ed, the awkward but intelligent Edd (a.k.a. "Double D"), and the sly conman who's all show but little skill Eddy. The show revolves around these three friends trying to pull off schemes to make money around their neighborhood in order to buy jawbreakers. These schemes usually go wrong and lead to hilarious slapstick and absurd situations. I'll admit, I was very reluctant to put this one on the list because the series finally was one of the most satisfying conclusions to a show I have ever seen, so I feel a full reboot might be the best way to go. However, I thought about it more and I could totally see the show continue with the same continuity, but from a more adult angle. We could see how the now grown up boys try to make it in the cruel adult world. They could have gone their separate ways in adulthood. We could see Ed stumble through various low paying jobs due to his lack of intelligence. We could see Edd become successful due to his intelligence, but it has made his life boring and he misses the excitement of his younger years. We could see Eddy trying to con and wise-crack his way through life, but it leads to little success in his adult life. We can see them reunite and try to pull off schemes as a way of dealing with each midlife crisis. The show could be just as absurd, but have a more adult and cynical edge (which was in the original a little bit), which would make it perfect for Adult Swim.

2. "Transformers: Beast Wars"

There have been various versions of the "Transformers" on television for over 30 years. One of the most unique versions of the franchise was "Transformers: Beast Wars". This was one of the first fully computer animated shows on television. It aired from 1996 to 1999. The show focused around to warring factions of Transformers (the good Maximals and the evil Predicons) who were descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons. They went back in time and landed on prehistoric Earth. Rather than turning into machines, however, the Maximals and Predicons transform into various animals such as gorillas, dinosaurs, and insects. It's been a while since the franchise has done anything with these characters so I feel it's time for them to make a grand return in a new series. They could expand their horizons and visit other worlds. We could see them take the forms of entirely original alien creatures with strange new powers. Most of all we could get David Kaye to voice Megatron again ("Ahhhhhh...yes!").

1 "Rugrats"

"Rugrats" was a show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1991 to 2004 and centered around a group of toddlers having bizarre adventures in their house or in the outside world. The show focused its humor around the babies misunderstanding adult concepts. The show even had a spinoff called "All Grown Up" that ran from 2003 to 2008 and focused on the kids as pre-teens. As you could probably guess by now, the show will feature the original babies (Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, etc.) as grown adults. However, they would only be featured in a supporting role. The show would focus on their children and what adventures they might come across. It would be fun to see Tommy and the gang as grown ups with kids of their own (it would also make anyone who grew up with the series as a kid feel super old). We could get an interesting perspective from the now adult babies as they watch their children get involved in the same wacky adventures that they did at that age. It could parallel the fan base as the original generation introduces their children to what they loved when they were kids while still having the new version feel as though it uniquely belongs to this new generation.
