Klasky mentioned the end of the production company Klasky Csupo, which she ran with her then-husband Gabor Csupo, but just because it isn't around anymore doesn't mean that he wouldn't be involved. Here's what Klasky said when I asked if she was down for more.
I'm down for it. So is Gabor [Csupo], and I'm sure [other co-creator] Paul Germain is, too. I hope so.
So if she already knows Csupo wants in on it, then those conversations with
Nickelodeon
must be pretty interesting. Klasky also told me how great the network has been recently, and how engaged its creative side is with not just
Rugrats
and
Hey Arnold!
, but many others in its vast library of children's, nay, all-aged people's programming. She also credits fans - who apparently contact her and
Nickelodeon
very often about a
Rugrats
return - for keeping the interest alive, and what better way to justify more of something than getting hounded by the very people that will enjoy it. Will the year 2019 be one in which Phil and Lil are getting into new arguments while Ickis and Crumm hide from The Gromble? It's up to us! (And also executives.)
While we wait to hear more about a possible
Rugrats
return - and hopefully it will be a bit more coherent than when the Pickles pet Spike hears things - take comfort in knowing that
Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie
will head to a
new location
in search for
Arnold's
birth parents at some point in 2017. Waiting is hard.
