When places enter a slump, they look to the past. Lately Cartoon Network, or what’s left of it, has been planning revivals of the shows it aired when it was on top of the world. New versions or spinoffs of Adventure Time, Regular Show, Powerpuff Girls and others are currently in the works. But what about…Class of 3000?
That might sound strange, as that particular series debuted during a different Slump Age in CN’s history, a time when Disney Channel was eating their lunch and they were responding with stuff like Johnny Test and Squirrel Boy. It was the hope that the star power attached to Class of 3000 — the personal involvement of musician Andre 3000 — would attract attention. It didn’t and the show ended at two seasons with just a handful of episodes.
So bringing this particular show back would seem like an odd move. But if you ask Andre himself, like a recent podcast did, there is some movement toward it. Andre told Nardwuar the Human Serviette that he’s been in talks with Tyler The Creator (who previously created Loiter Squad and The Jellies for Adult Swim) about reviving Class Of 3000.
‘I know all the songs from Class of 3000...Tyler knows music, man.” he said. “We’re hoping to do something new with it, in some type of way. So yeah, stay tuned.” I guess we will! Cartoon Network has not officially announced a Class Of 3000 revival, but if it gets that far we’ll be posting more.
