The Lost Season

Also, a bit of news on the last con. There's a chance that a 'lost' season of TMNt 2003 may make it to DVD. It's setup like the last few seasons of DS9, with a bunch of continuity between eps, wich if probably why it never made it to air. I beleive they said it only was 13 episodes...

A thirteen episode arc that went unaired?

[creativerealms82]

I saw that just a little while ago. Maybe a story they could not get 4kids to air for one reason or another. Or he could be yanking our chains who knows.

[VaughnMichael]

thanks for the news more episodes and lost ones at that are great news to me!

Maybe this was the reasoning behind the more marketable "Fast Forward" extended run...

Maybe it's somehow connected to this: http://www.planetracers.com/blast/seasonthreechar.jpg

Why do I get the impression Salvatore was in this unaired run?

If I remember right, those were the preliminary sketches of Sliver from the Ultimate Drakko Arc.. :ohwell:

Yeah. Sliver is the name of the evil Splinter from the Super Turtles episode, right? That's the guy anyway.

Ah so that's what the official site was talking about with never before seen eps coming to DVD:

Additional promotional support will include an extensive retail tie-in with master toy licensee Playmates Toys, in which approximately 250,000 packages of the new Paleo Patrol prehistoric action figures will feature sticker bursts calling out the TMNT 100th Episode Celebration Sweepstakes and an exclusive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DVD with never-before-seen episodes. These new toys are expected to be available at major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Toys 'R' Us, K-Mart, Target and KB Toys, in March.

So there ya go...the never before seen eps come with the Paleo patrol figures in March.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Maybe these episodes will cover those lost 2 months between Ancient One and Scion of the Shredder. And maybe it will tell us what happend to Leatherhead.


Actually, I had a theory. Perhaps when The Utroms dropped the Turtles back on Earth, they picked up Leatherhed and returned to the homeworld with him and Honeycutt.

[Barkworm]

Ah, of course. I simply forgot about that one.

[Mobius One]

Just a thought, but maybe it has something to do with Paleo Patrol? Have they said anything about it being in this season? It seems that if Donatello is going to be mutated in like 3 or 4 episodes, then when will they have time to go back to the Dinosaurs. So maybe it is a possibility that these lost episodes are, or maybe include the "Paleo" episodes? Anyone else think this is a possibility?

EDIT: Hmmm...after looking at some stuff maybe not. On the official site, it lists a DVD coming out in May and it contains two episodes called "Savanti's Revenge Parts One and Two". That pretty much has to be the Dinosaur episodes, cause they are probably gonna be similar to Tales Of The TMNT #7.

[TerranigmaFreak]

Does anyone think that after the Paleo episodes, the turtles will... oh I don't know... Fast Forward in time?

[TheShowstoppa]

Terranigma: I said the exact same thing about a month and a half ago in the original Fast Forward thread... apparantly, no one seems to listen. :-/

Everyone keeps talking about this "Lost Season" and like I said back in the Toys Section... I may have to pick up a few of these toys just to be able to see these eps... Cause truthfully... I WANT TO SEE THIS NOW!!!!

[Duke]

I'll probably buy these figs just for the episodes. Which sucks cause i stopped buying the turtle figs a long, long time ago. Cause lets be honest, they suck.

[tortugapower]

there was someone on the superherohype forums who claimed to know a intern at turtles. She said that her friend the intern said that there was a bunch of episodes about the return of the shredder and the episodes also deal with the mystical powers/markings the turtles aquire in the in the video game.

[Gary]

I'd like to see and episode with Slashuur.

[Spitfire]

Are these the episodes on the TMNT Never Before Seen Disk?

[TheShowstoppa]

There was no such disk. They changed the name of Neverbefore Seen to I think what is now either Mutants and Monster or Shredder's Final Countdown.

it was both. Shred's Final Countdown had the first 2, then Mutants and Monsters had 3 more

[jeff the cheff]

So when are these figures coming out? I started looking today and didn't find anything

prolly soon just gotta keep checkin'

This could be why they original refered to Fast Forward as the sixth season. So season 5 is just 13 episodes that will not be aired on 4kidsTV while season six will launch this Fall. Interesting... I guess they decided TMNT as it is right now isn't pulling in good enough ratings and they hope to change that with Fast Forward. Looking at the remarkable success of 80-90's TMNT with all their emphasis on mutants and adventures... it figures they'd try to re-create that with a brand remix when CN has all but given up on TMNT 2K3 and the 4kidsTV ratings aren't very good either. But the toys still sell, and that's what really keeps it on the air.

Wait, the ratings aren't good. I assumed that TMNT was their most popular show.

I just wish there was one network out there that valued quality over merchindising.

I'm pretty sure it is.....:roll:

[cormano]

yeah, i don't know why everyone here is so quick to believe that the ratings are bad. i'm willing to bet if it's not the top show in the 4kids line up, it's at the very least in the top 3. sonic x is the only other show that has lasted, so obviously they're doing pretty well. one of the newer shows may occassionally jump ahead when it first comes out, but they all die down real quick, unlike tmnt and sonic.

yes thats because Sonic & TMNT have wonderfull visually stimulating characters unlike most shows...I actully wish sonic was on before tmnt so I wouldn't have to watch that god awfull horribly drawn Winx club show *shivers*:dead:

[Spitfire]

Now that I think about it they couldn't have been to important to the seires. I mean since they didn't air it couldn't be that important. Also they don't usually make something unless they have clearence too. These episodes would just be story boards. If 4Kids didn't like them I don't see why they would make them. But oh well, if it is real we will see.

-PutrescentI wholeheartedly agree. I have to skip back and forth between 4Kids and CNN :D until Winx Club is over... I watch the intro, and then head back to CNN until the theme song is over. *sigh* so complicated. ;)

[Raph's Girl]

Aww come on Winx Club is fun! Where else can you watch a show where Cam Clarke (OS Leo) voices the father of one of the main girls (Musa) and she's dating a character voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas (current Leo).

The TMNT VA's are really my only reason for watching Winx Club.... altho Riven (Michael Sinterniklaas) is oddly more or less like Raphael...which is odd that he's voiced by Leo. Frank Frankson (Raphael) voices Prince Sky, Dan Green (Mortu, Gen) voices Brandon.... and oddly enough...he replaced Frank Frankson as the voice of Knuckles in Sonic X.. Marc Thompson (Casey Jones) voices Knut.

So ya see if ya watch Winx Club, TMNT, and Sonic X you're seeing an hour and a half of the same actors voicing different characters! :lol:
