EVERY cartoon hopes for the dreamed of "family" viewership. That's the goal. To have everyone like your show. But with these recent 80's nostalgia revivals, while of course they want that, more than that they have two very specific groups of fans.

New fans who will hopefully be drawn in by the product itself, and original fans who will hopefully come back for nostalgia. I would argue vehemently the triangle is for the second. I can't imagine my 8 year old nephew being particularly interested in who Cheetara shacks up with.

This is why I believe these 80s revivals haven't been resounding successes, I think their fanbase is too segregated. Something like The Last Airbender didn't have to worry about appeasing two very separate groups of fans, they just made a general kind of show and lucked out appealing to everyone.
