Maybe these reboots aren’t for you, precisely. Maybe, as Variety suggests, they—like everything else—are for a younger generation:
Hicks declined to talk about specific programs under consideration, but noted the generation that watched Nickelodeon in its earliest days — it was formed out of an entity known as Pinwheel backed by a predecessor of Time Warner Cable — now has children of its own.
You don’t have children. Despite the nagging from your mother and warnings from your doctor that “you’re running out of time,” you’re still not sure if you even want kids. Probably not, you think, but then again, there’s always that little voice in the back of your head that hisses to you about your own obscurity, how you’re fading into nothing, the way that children—in their silly little way—will allow you to experience the world through their hopeful, non-cynical eyes. (This won’t work either.)
You want to capture that bird. Nickelodeon wants to help you capture that bird. It will not work. You understand…if you were a kid in the ‘90s.
