Nickelodeon may be bringing back some classic shows with a few updates for modern audiences, reports Variety. "Rugrats," "Hey Arnold!" and "You Can't Do That on Television" are a few programs that could return, but why stop there? Here are 10 shows we think would be perfect for modern TV.

"Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

"Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society." For a kid growing up, SNICK was the best thing ever and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was a big reason why we were glued to the TV. The horror anthology format is having a moment with the hit "American Horror Story," so why not bring back this classic Nick show? It would totally work and would be easy to recreate the magic of the classic series. The Variety report notes Nickelodeon is looking at different ways it could bring old shows back -- either as a special, movie or a series -- and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" could easily be adapted to that end. Throw in a couple of creepy stories and we're sold.

"Nickelodeon Guts"

"Guts" is another show that could easily be updated. The sports competition format could involve three individuals or teams vying for a piece of the Aggro Crag. From revamped challenges to an even more impressive mountain known as the Aggro Crag, it could follow a similar formula to the hit "American Ninja Warrior" franchise.

"Nick Arcade"

Bring back "Nick Arcade" with better graphics and a better final challenge and you'll have a winner. Kids still play video games, and "Nick Arcade" could be revamped in a lot of different ways with how technology has advanced since the show premiered in 1992. An easy upgrade would be a final stage that wouldn't require kids fumbling around in front of a green screen while trying to defeat the boss, right?

"Hey Arnold!"

This was mentioned in the Variety report, and we couldn't agree more with bringing the show back. The show had a diverse cast and had a different tone from other cartoons, which is perfect for a new generation growing up with many of the same daily struggles as Arnold and his friends.

"Salute Your Shorts"

The show could easily be turned into a movie or special. "Salute Your Shorts" featured a group of kids at summer camp and could follow them as they form friendships, make enemies, pull pranks and, maybe, learn a few life lessons before heading home.

"All That"

The sketch comedy could become a series and, if Nickelodeon wants to get creative, it could release the segments online. There could be Web exclusives, and "All That" could easily be broken up in standalone clips or GIFs that could easily be shared across all social platforms. That sounds pretty modern to me.

"The Adventures of Pete & Pete"

Another show that could be brought back as a special or movie. Some of the original cast could make cameos, and the odd vibe and adventures would be a hit with teens looking for something a bit smarter than what's currently on TV.

"The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo"

This could be adapted into a movie or a miniseries following an interesting case. The addition of a woman of color in a starring role would go a long way in addressing racial and gender diversity issues and would certainly appeal to girls.

"Aaahh!!! Real Monsters"

An offbeat cartoon that could be a hit with younger and older audiences. The series could follow a new class of monsters in their first semester with the original characters like Ickis, Oblina, Krumm and the Gromble playing crucial roles in the school.

"The Secret World of Alex Mack"

With conspiracies, superpowers and growing up, "Alex Mack" can easily be revamped for modern audiences. I'm sure Nickelodeon could find a way to give it a dystopian twist starring a female character to appeal to fans of "Divergent" and "The Hunger Games."
