Ok. First off I need to know how to be able to allow you guys to sign it lol, but I intend on sending a request to cartoon network with the names of as many people as possible to put the TMNT on the air.
First: Do you guys think it's a good idea?
Second: How do I create a name list other than having you guys email me and I just type your names, which will take a month.
After answering the poll, plaese post your comments on my idea.

Yes there was (still is?) a campaign in www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com to get tmnt on dvd and cartoon network...heck, the campaign even showed up in ninjaturtles.com, what more could you ask?But still CN did nothing about it...if that didnt worked i dont know what will...i think it kind of succeeded in the dvd part, a new animated tmnt dvd is coming out...maybe it had effect...maybe it was coincidence...im not sure :)

I got an idea... make up 2 billion different e-mail address and e-mail CN under each one lol

1 problem, I don't feel like making 2 billion seprate e-mails :P and CN doesn't go for e-mail either

That might just annoy them :oops: now if it were 2 billion different people...that might change things more...but at this point i dont know.

i think that's a bad idea, it may kill the new show, and right now i would rather see new eps than old ones that i can get online...

Yeah...plus they'd probably find out anyways if they all end with, by example, @yahoo.com

There is nothing wrong with trying. These kinds of things don't just happen after the first letter is received. It may take months of repeated letters, calls, and e-mails before you get the attention of someone important. Last time around I wrote a letter and sent two e-mails.
I'll vote yes, not because I'm a huge original cartoon fan but because A) it might be fun to check out the old show every now and again and B) it's a good way to keep TMNT fresh on people's minds for the new projects.

Thank you Rat man. I agree. One letter won't do poo. But if you other guys really think it's hopeless, I won't send it. What is the finally tally?

Let me just say something I've learned from personal expirience. If you constanly bother someone about something, 2 things happen: 1 you get what you want. 2. You make them go insane first, then you get what you want from the jerk that takes thier place, because they don't want to go insane like the other jerk did.
See my point in doing it again?

I think the key here is not too make someone over at Catoon Network insane (then again I've seen some of the new shows on that network, and I think perhaps they are all already insane) but to get the thought in their head that this would be a good idea and that there is plenty of interest.
Nturtle don't take it personally that there wasn't immediate results. It wouldn't work that way anyway. I can assure you that you've turned a few heads at the very least. My thoughts are that if the new show is a hit then the Cartoon Network will not hesitate to put the old one on the air. Just think: the new show is doing well and here you are an exec at CN and you say to yourself "well here's a popular franchise and hey remember all those letters we got." It does add up.

Yep, like the wise Rat King said, don't give up hope. Y'know, after The Next Mutation in 97, a lot of people thought the TMNT were gone for good. Then at the very end of 2001, Peter releases the first issue of a new TMNT comic series. And of course, we're getting a new cartoon in February, too. ;)

OK. Do to the overwhelming amount of posts basically saying f*** it your crazy, I will not do anything. Besides if cartoon network wants to have only 2 good shows, it ain't my fault.

Now I have a question.Why does everyone post don't do it and they all vote yes do it? I'm sry, but I need support for this. If you guys want me to do it please tell me now and how I can do it. I don't want to appear redundant and annoy people, but I really want to see good shows back on the air. I think we still have a chance if we try. The turtles depend on us! :tcry:

Ok. Today, well, Sept 9th, I sent a request to Cartoon Network To run The TMNT and The Real Ghostbusters. It was just a letter of my own, but I did mention that I had alot of support. I doubt this will do S**T, but who knows. :) Maybe there's a light in the distance.
Comments please?
