Yes beware the Batman is another good example.
I hope it gets a second season at least, if it does then we'll get 100 episodes of this show even if it's only 100 episodes. Quote:
Yes, it was the transformers of my generation basically, so yeah 90s kids outside of Beast Wars grew up with no transformers since this half-assed revival failed. |

A lot of those DC shows ended early because Cartoon Network are idiots and hate action shows. They canceled Young Justice for the same reason, and Justice League Action is seemingly over already as well. The last show that got a full run was Brave and the Bold and that's only because it came out back in 2008 when CN still aired action shows like it and Clone Wars, etc.
Nick really has no reason to do that since they went ahead and greenlit a new TMNT cartoon immediately after the previous one ended. To end it so soon would make no sense, and a waste of production time with all the new art, advertisements and creative teams that go with it. |

A looooong time. This is following the same exact pattern as Teen Titans Go! before it was released, and that show is up to like 200 episodes. This show doesn't look like it's super expensive to make, either.

Yeah, there's absolutey no way of knowing yet what the lifespan of this series is going to be. We don't know yet how much we're going to like it, how many people are going to watch it, how well the toys will sell. WAY to soon to know. |

I'm sure i'll be popular among kids, but that's not always an guarantee.
I can't get over the 11 minute run-time. It just sounds kind of lazy. I'm all open to changes but I dislike a blatant lack of effort. No time for character development or a nicely fleshed out story. When I watch a few episodes I hope i'll prove me wrong. |

Like I said earlier, Adventure Time had tons of character development, lore, continuity, & it's an 11 minute per episode series. Relax for now.

I loooove people jumping to conclusions about 11 minute episodes. They've clearly never seen Adventure Time, Steven Universe, or Phineas and Ferb. I'm not saying this show is guaranteed that caliber of quality, but there's no reason to automatically dismiss 11 minute episodes.

In fact this show is only 13 minutes long and it manages to fit so much content into one episode. On topic, I see this show either lasting short(at most 2 seasons) or a long time(8 seasons) no middle ground with these kinds of shows.

Just curious, why is the 11 minute runtime so popular among kids shows these days? The last cartoons I watched, like Nick TMNT, Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels, Young Justice, etc...all still used the traditional 22 minute episode length.
Did this basically become a thing after say 2013 or so? |

Short shows don’t bother me anymore. I watch all my shows on Hulu, Netflix and buying the seasons on DVD. I’m not even going to watch the new show until it’s on DVD or Netflix. I’m so use to binge watching that I can’t go back. I don’t mind spoilers either so it’s fine. It’s great that when an episode ends in a type of cliffhanger I can just keep watching. So 11 min is no problem when you have episode after episode to watch.
I hope this generation of TMNT fans that are kids are not use to the binge watching as I am. Other wise when episodes air ratings will be extremely poor. Hopefully though the Netflix, Hulu and DVD deals will be great enough so that the traditional ratings don’t even factor. Do companies even care about traditional ratings anymore?

Hate? I don't hate anything about this new show. I have not seen it yet. Just asking a speculative question.

It'll be 3-5 most likely. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was all new stuff.... but season 3 or so will be back to Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady and Technodrome.

It's a Ninja Turtles cartoon, and considering all the support Nick has thrown at it while we barely know much about it, I'd be surprised if seasons two and three weren't greenlit already.
What killed Beware the Batman was Cartoon Network's overall treatment of action cartoons, though. There were other action shows that were killed around that time. |

I know once or twice when I was into an ep in the other show I found myself thinking 'over already?' but often the 22 minutes was adequate for what it was. Less than that? depends on the style I guess.
Being cheaper and faster to make (Not sure how much, some of you know a lot more about that) gives it a chance of lasting, even of the toy sales aren't fantastic. The toys look ok though, I can see kids wanting them. Last edited by newfan; 02-19-2018 at 02:11 AM. |

4-5 Seasons probably, like Teen Titans Go! (which is still ongoing).
