Should Nick rerun Hey Arnold to prep for "The Jungle Movie"?

[moose_tracks12]

I know we're still five months away from the official TV premiere, but do you guys think Nickelodeon's main channel should rerun episodes of Hey Arnold in the coming months to prepare for "The Jungle Movie" in November? Since it's a continuation on Arnold's missing parents, a lot of young kids may not understand what's going on if they haven't seen "The Journal" or the show in general, so it would be a good way to get them into the show early enough to gear up for the premiere (If Nick wasn't trying to make the movie JUST for older fans and audiences).

I could definitely see them playing reruns of the show on weekday afternoons at 5:30p after The Loud House. Because since 5:30p is where shows like Sanjay and Craig, Bunsen, and Alvin played it's weekday premieres and reruns, I feel like it would be a helpful time slot for those Hey Arnold reruns to be seen and get pretty good ratings since The Loud House does really well in the 5p slot.

I know I'm thinking too early and too deep into this, but could we possibly see those main network reruns in the future?

P.S. I know they play Hey Arnold reruns on Teennick, but that's late at night, and not everyone has Teennick.

Yes

It's already on The Splat, so it wouldn't hurt to add some synergy with their other networks. Especially if they want to generate hype for The Jungle Movie

It surely deserves a try on Nickelodeon to give a new audience of more availability some knowledge of the show to ready them for the movie, sure The Splat airs it already but It wouldn't hurt to do a higher approach with a common Nick channel.

Yes. This should happen

I guess it worked for Samurai Jack over on AS

Yes. I recall Craig was saying that they should in a podcast Q&A last year so that they can go from The Journal right into it.

Wouldn't hurt them if they gave it two morning/afternoon slots for a month on Nick.

I think that would be a good idea. It would catch people up on what's going on in the series.

Nick SHOULD, but they won't. Hey Arnold is too old, and of course, does any of us really think the ratings would do well? Nick only cares about that - they don't even repeat all of their current shows, much less one that ended years ago.

I will say this, IF Hey Arnold does well enough and a reboot happens, it could pair well with TLH.

Not going to happen

Nick will NOT take time away from SpongeBob and The Loud House to rerun episodes of Hey Arnold!

Let's be realistic here...

I think they should rerun it on Nicktoons.

The question isn't "Should Nick rerun Hey Arnold?". Rather, it's "Could Nick rerun Hey Arnold?".

Uh, yes? Rather easily actually. Hey Arnold is an in-house Nick production they could do whatever they want with it, and they've been airing it on TeenNick for a long time now, it wouldn't be that hard for them to take to one of their other networks like Nicktoons or Nickelodeon proper.
It really wouldn't take much effort for them to put it on an early morning or late night slot.

I'm sure they could do a promotional period to build up to the film.
