It'd be very difficult. It strongly carries the atmosphere of the late '90s. If you rebooted it or set a second season in the present day it'd be too different and if you set that second season also in the late '90s it'd probably end up being "the late '90s show"

Daria's DVDs were bullshit. As if the music wasn't enough, they cut the opening, except for the last 5 seconds, from most of the episodes.

I agree with you here. You can't reboot these shows, they'd have to be set entirely where they ended in that period in the 90s.

that means, you have write the show like its still the 90s or about to turn 2000. The Humour, Cultural happenings and the People will have to sound like that too.

sure you'll find an audience, but it might be too niche, and it will be damn hard to retain them once the nostalgia wears off.

I think that is the reason why Undergrads, despite all the creator's efforts, had an insanely hard time trying to get season 2 up and running.

There are only two viable ways to bring this show back: Purposely make it a product of its original time, with it being set around the late 90's and early 2000's, or reboot the series to fit in the 2020s. Make Andy a young Millennial (mid 20s, as he was in the show) and make Kevin a member of Gen Z in his late teens to keep up the generational divide that the previous show had. I can't see any other way, sorry guys.

Hell, remember that FOMO moment he had in the elevator with other twentysomethings? That works even better now.

MTV isn't the juggernaut it was in the 90s and early 2000s. Once "All things rock" finished airing in 2004, even the most hardened defenders of MTV knew knew the party was over.

Some of the basic story elements of it still work, like following your dreams vs being an adult, struggling to keep up with trends, gentrification, etc. Also I give this show credit for having a completely neutral presentation of a gay couple, which was pretty unusual for the time.

Daria, Mission Hill, Downtown, and shows like that are way too ingrained in Gen X culture to have any kind of appeal to zoomers. Those cartoons were about them, for them and they encapsulated that time alone.

The good thing about Mission Hill (and Daria too) is they're still pretty relateable. The episode where Andy realizes he's the only one not doing anything with his life, that even Jim has a great well paying job and life skills, gave me a panic attack (exaggerating) as an adult because it's too relocatable.

I also think it'd be fine to keep the shows in the era they were in because nostalgia is so big right now. If they kept the stories grounded in real life problems like they were before with a spark of cynicism they can easily parody modern problems in a 90s setting.

Baby Blues was awful but the intro song was my jam

Finding out it was based on a newspaper comic made me feel weird about it.

Preteen me liked the "Happy Birthday" episode though (I dunno the title, if you've seen it you know what I mean)

IMO, Mission Hill should have kept running until the end of 2003. That's when the culture it represented really and truly died.

It's still pretty unusual. Gays now have to be "representation" so they're not allowed to be something like weird elderly men.

They should continue it with the same time frame that was originally intended wherein they age the characters up as the show was supposed to go on. Show the characters aging through some kind of progression that may be a long form time skip, but basically leads up to the present day, or keep it in the past, but still age them. I don't know.

I agree with your basic sentiment but it was still treated as a little unusual and sort of a gag. To be sure, the fact that Gus and Wally were portrayed with a lot of dignity, as both being capable and interesting guys made them a lot more fully realized than many other gay characters from that era, but they were still a bit of a gag.

What did you expect, nigga? The series premiered in 1999, how many shows that came out around that same time period were digital ink and paint, as opposed to cel animation? Also, how many cel animated shows made the big leap to digital ink and paint the following season? Spongebob is a good example of this.
