8 Of Your Favorite '90s Childhood Shows Will Be Making A Comeback Soon

Film One / The Hollywood Reporter

We've recently been seeing revivals, reboots, remakes, and spinoffs of some of our favorite childhood shows.

In 2017, Hey! Arnold returned on Nickelodeon, a reboot of DuckTales premiered in August, and Riverdale, which is a series based on the characters of Archie Comics, aired on Netflix.

There are still some of our favorite childhood shows that deserve to make a comeback, and your countless prayers after those shows ended have finally been answered.

1. Animaniacs

Everyone's favorite '90s cartoon variety show was entertaining, educational, and downright hilarious. According to news sources, Warner Bros. is developing a reboot for Animaniacs. The details are still in its infancy, but it's rumored that the revival may end up on Netflix, like what happened to Fuller House.  

2. Rocko's Modern Life

Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt are blasting back to Earth after being plunged into outer space in 1996. The cartoon will be one-hour TV film, called Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, and will air on Nickelodeon in 2018. Watching this as a kid was entertaining and hilarious, but you probably missed many of the adult jokes, so I doubt this movie will disappoint.

3. Roseanne  

Everyone can agree that the final season of Roseanne was a little weird. It's been two decades since the last episode aired and we're still thinking about it to this day. Lucky for us, Roseanne is returning to ABC for a nine-episode revival in 2018.

The best part is that the entire cast will be back, including John Goodman. We're not sure how that's going to work, since he died in the final season, but I'm sure they'll come up with something believable. There will also be some new characters, so this revival will be exciting.

The new Roseanne is expected to premier at the end of March 2018.

You'll be jumping up and down to learn that these next five shows will be returning soon!

4. Sabrina the Teenage Witch

The future just got a little more magical. Sabrina will be back in a new adaptation of the comics, which are based on the Archie Comics series. The adventures are said to be darker than the family-friendly sitcom, so it will probably be something along the lines of Netflix's Riverdale. We're not sure when the revival will premier and whether Melissa Joan Hart will make an appearance on the show, but it's possible that Netflix will cash in on this series.

5. Carmen Sandiego

There were many variations of Carmen Sandiego's characters, like in Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? and Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, but all you need to know is that this beloved character is coming back. This time the main focus will be on Carmen and where she comes from, but it's said to still be educational.

Gina Rodriguez will voice Carmen, and Finn Wolfhard will play her sidekick. The show is coming to Netflix in 2019.

6. Sister, Sister

Twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry who were separated at birth to find each other later in life was just the plot line we needed in the '90s. It aired for six seasons, but to be honest that wasn't enough. Although a reboot hasn't been officially announced, Tia said in an interview in November 2017 that meetings are taking place.

“We are being told that they want it to be or happen next year in the fall,” she said. “So, it’s going by so fast, everything.”

7. The Wild Thornberrys

Eliza was living our childhood dream in Nickelodeon's The Wild Thornberrys. She traveled the world and talked to animals, her life was a blast! MoviePilot reported that a revival is in the works, but Nickelodeon hasn't shared any updates.  

8. Party of Five

Although our favorite '90s actors won't be part of the show, the reboot will focus on a Latino family that has immigrated to the U.S. That being said, the family will still have five siblings whose parents die at the beginning of the show, just like what happened in the original. Creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman are developing the project for Sony Pictures Television Studios, but they haven't announced which network the new Party of Five will appear on.

Which of these shows were your favorite in the '90s?

Top 5 Movies Set in Las Vegas

By Jordan N
There’s something about Las Vegas that has always made it a place of great fascination for filmmakers. One of the main reasons has to be the way it looks – quite unlike anywhere else on earth. With the flashing signs that can be picked out by orbiting spacecraft and the sheer investment that has gone into creating this amazing oasis in the heart of the Nevada Desert it’s a film set that’s already been built. The fact that it’s only a relatively short distance from Hollywood itself – an hour by plane – is also strongly in its favour

The Evolution of the NFL

By Jordan N
The NFL may be the single biggest sports league in the world, but it’s been a long and winding route to reach this point. Many of the major changes that have brought us here have taken place in the last thirty years, but none of these could have happened without what had gone before. For example, while there are now 32 teams split between the National Football League and the American Football Conference, this division dates back to merger that occurred in 1970 between the NFL and its rival the American Football League. And, while there have been countless

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
