    Are there any children’s shows that have been rebooted as adult shows in order to grow with their audience? I’d totally watch the Fairly Odd Parents with adult humor.

      Samurai Jack’s final season comes to mind. The first couple of episodes were amazing. It took the best parts of the show and made it a lot more serious.

      Well, there was Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon…but we don’t talk about that one.

        I don’t think they would wanna see what Timmy’s up to most of the day at 16. Maybe puberty should be the cut off…

      Not sure about ‘aldut humor’, that would probably cross a line for networks image.

      Avatar Korra was definatly more for teens than ATLA.

      Ben 10 also grew up with audience, making them teens and eventually rebooting the IP to milk the next generation.

      Spongebob’s hidden adult humor pretty much disapeared as the years went on. (Doubt we"ll ever see something like the panty raid again).

      Teen Titans go is the opposite, taking a more teenage show and making it for younger kids.

        All Grown Up. Was geared more towards a tween/ young teen audience than anything else from what I recall.

      Closest I can think of, despite it probably being more of a show aimed at teens and young adults, would be Ren and Stimpy with their failed Adult Party Cartoon. Other than that, I can’t think of any examples.
