Ha. Way to act like a dick and tell me I'm wrong when I reported this in another thread...

[CyberCubed]

Will this get a rerun at 8:30 like the Rat King ep? I don't get home till then.

[Zulithe]

OMG! Yay thanks for the info ^__^ I hope Nick does this for every ep from now on.

Cool, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see this episode, and like some others have said, I hope Nick puts more new episodes as prime times. Now I can sleep in on Saturday :lol:

[Donatello19]

Okay everyone, you've got 3 chances to see the new episode this week. Tomorrow at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM, and Saturday at 11:00 AM. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to try and watch it all 3 times XD.

[Lethal Lullaby]

As long as I get to see the show I'm good. :)

I save them all on my DVR so I can pull them up whenever. Though I accidentally deleted episode 9 last week. Eeek! All the more reason to finally hookup my Apple TV from xmas so I can just stream them from my iCloud.

[NinjaMan]

My guide still hasn't updated.

Oh yeah, I probably should have said this before. Most "last minute schedule changes" do NOT show up on the T.V guides. It happened to me with the first part of Rise of the turtles on September 28th. It still comes on at 7, it just won't say it.

Ratings drop ahead :tconfuse:.

[ToTheNines]

Last Saturday's ratings were still really good despite the Friday premier.

[Donatello19]

Ratings drop ahead :tconfuse:.

Not really. It will get it's normal ratings with the Saturday premiere. The same thing happened with "I, Monster".

[Machias Banshee]

I hope it's going well on Fridays. If they're having really good ratings, they may just keep on doing this. It's good for me, since I'm out of the house early every Saturday :) They must have ratings Somewhere on last friday...

[chrisdude]

I don't like the idea of missing the first showing, but 7pm on a Friday is not convenient for me. I'll deal, though. More showings is better for everyone.

As for me I'm practically nocturnal, so this schedule would be great for me too. I dig it.

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome. Can't wait to see it tonight. I probably won't watch the 8:30 showing because wrestling's on, but I will catch it again on Saturday for sure. What an awesome early birthday present!

[pannoni1]

The problem with Friday night debuts is that it competes with new movie releases, even though for children, Fridays fare much better than teens/young adults. Kids don't do their weekend homework on Fridays. Plus, Nick is still running the "new" episode at the Saturday morning timeslot, so those kids still won't be missing the show. For those in the Pacific/Mountain time zones who can get the east coast feed of Nick, its even better since it would be after school cartoons to them (that's where I watched much of the OT growing up). Even though it will cause a lower peak in ratings, the audience will be more spread out. That said, I enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune at 7:00 (have been since I was a baby in 1985).

[dkram230]

Are we talking 7:00 ET?

[Guitar_Raph]

Are we talking 7:00 ET?

Yup, 7:00 ET, 6:00 CST in my neck of the woods.

[dkram230]

Yup, 7:00 ET, 6:00 CST in my neck of the woods.

Thanks! That means 6:00 for me too. Same time zone, but I'd be willing to bet you didn't wake up to a temperature outside of -11°F like us crazy Minnesotans did this morning! :o

[Ryanator008]

I would LOVE if they did this every week. :tgrin:

[Donatello19]

My T.V guide has updated with the episode listed at 7:00, and a mini marathon following it (with a repeat of the new episode at 8:30). Be sure to check your guides, and record the episode if 7:00 isn't a good time for you.

[BubblyShell22]

Yep, it's on at 6:00 my time as well as I'm also in the Central Time slot. One more hour. Whoo Hoo!

[Donatello19]

Just a half hour until we get to meet Karai!

[Lethal Lullaby]

Still haven't gotten a change on Dish Network yet. But I can't wait til it does :D

Even if it doesn't change, it will still come on at 7 PM.

[Irishmile]

Yeah there is no doubt about it...

[Donatello19]

Okay everyone, get ready, because we've got another prime time premiere coming up this week! According to an online resource (Toon Zone) the next episode, "The Alien Agenda", will premiere this Friday at 7 PM, followed by another mini marathon! It seems like "Total Turtle Takeover Fridays" are starting to become popular!

Good news! :tgrin:

[BubblyShell22]

Sweet! I better e-mail my BF and let him know that this is going to happen more often. Maybe he should just set his DVR to record at six just in case.

My cable TV grid is still saying that the Fred 2 movie will be airing at that time, but I'm not going to trust that. They're not going to screw me over like they did last week. I learned my lesson.

[tlg80]

Thanks for letting us know. I'll keep it in mind, and check the guide later this week. Don't wanna miss the episode.
:o I'm good at forgetting things though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I hate being weeks behind in eps! Pisses me off

[NinjaPug]

According to this, we're getting another Turtle Takeover this Friday with a new episode. Original listings had The Pulverizer debuting on Feb 23.

YES! New episode on friday:)

[Donatello19]

Well, I guess I'll add it to the list!

[BubblyShell22]

Sweet. Can't wait. And I talked to my BF yesterday, and he said that his DVR is set to record new eps, so he'll always be able to catch it on Friday.

[Zulithe]

Hmmm their first fan :P Wonder how he found out about them? I didn't know the turtles were officially spotted? Or did I overlook that. I'm sure they can work it into the episode easiliy enough.
