Why do you keep making new topics for something that can be a reply to another thread?

Really it's been a long time I think since I've consistently had a show I catch on Fridays. (Or most days of the week much of the year for that matter.)

Great, thanks... I was trying to improve my opinion on it, ya know... lol
Trying not to dislike Seth as Leo, will get used to it eventually I'm sure. But from what I've read his wife is a fellow Leo fan so I'm at least glad there is pressure at home to do well by Leo. ;)

There's something about watching it at night that I like better than watching it in the morning.

It seems more epic. All that hype is better at night.

One thing, I am going to have to watch the TMNT one online for sure. Simply due to the fact a storm came rolling in and took out my satellite near the beginning, which was the best part of the episode. However, I do love it that it's on Fridays. I can watch it with the family and such, and no one has to worry about getting up for school or work the following morning. And if it was on Saturday or Sunday mornings, forget it, no one in the family are morning people, and if we don't have to get up in the mornings, we won't. We might be crawling out of bed, maybe about 12:00 in the afternoon!:D

I kinda miss it being on weekend mornings, although Friday works better for me. I'm a night owl, so likewise I don't have to worry about trying to be awake on time so that's a plus... often I'd have to wait and catch the afternoon repeat on one of their other channels I get.

The hassle of needing an alarm to wake me up and watch a new episode while half-asleep...that's something I don't miss.

Do you think that they're going to get away with more stuff now that it's on prime time rather then Saturday mornings?

I'm also waiting for Into the Woods to come on, just so I can see the beginning. It started to mess up when Mikey went to chase the chickens, and I had a hard time making out what April was saying. The picture started to clear up when Mikey stuck in the tape. It started to eff up again just when Leo says something to Raph at the end, something about "that's what brothers do". It looks like the show is maybe starting to form that strong Leo/Raph bond that was in the 90 movie and the 2k3 show.

Yep. I have two residences, one in Loxahatchee, and one just 4 miles north of PBIA. Right now, I'm at the PBIA residence.

I do! The other half go to church on Sundays. I'm more of a Friday nights kind of gal. Reminds me of the times I would be all excited, coming home from school and gearing up to watch The X-Files and Homicide: Life on the Street.

Easy. The people that stay up til three or four in the morning, lol!
Also, Sunday morning is a weird day to be premiering new episodes.
I love it being on Friday nights. I work days now so it's great for me!

I have friends over and I watch it when it airs and watch it again when everyone else gets off work. We had a Smash Bros, TMNT, Korra, SWR party yesterday. I'm loving this lineup.

XD I'm still in school so Friday nights are perfect.
I hate when it's in the morning on any day, cause I can be running errands in the morning/noon. At night I'm already tired and ready for downtime TV.

It came on at 10, not 11 (in my area, anyway). And catching up on sleep is NOT a waste of a weekend.

Till midnight.
But I actually like it being on Friday nights. I have the show on DVR, so I can either watch it when I get home, or catch it when I wake up in the morning.
TMNT is cooler than MOTU

I try to go out and do stuff then, so I just DVR the show.

TMNT on prime time, on Friday nights? I can't complain. :) After that, there's Girl Meets World. Also, it's kind of like how Power Rangers was on prime time from late 2005 to 2008, except it was usually on Monday nights.

I know exactly what you are going through. I had a friend who's father got stationed in Australia. One night, she called me (I was about 13 at the time) and we talked all night long, I didn't think much of it. Until a month later when my dad came to me with the phone bill and it had a huge overseas charge. Boy, was he pissed.:lol:

I work on Friday nights, so it's a bummer for me, but I can imagine it's a better slot for ratings yes?
Anyone know why they changed it?

I would rather have it on Saturday morning. I am usually out Friday nights and miss the old Saturday morning fun of TMNT cartoons and more. So I never see the first airings. Its usually on the DVR a couple of days later. It means I don't have to worry about commericals though it is nice to see actual first airings of episodes. Having the actual premire on a Saturday morning would atleast be a sample of the bygone era that even 2003 cartoon was happily apart of.

I do agree that I miss it being on Saturday mornings as they used to be, but at the same time, I get why they switched it.
IndigoErth

Agree if I had the choice I'd like to see it back on Saturday mornings again with it's repeat on Sundays which was helpful. Glad it's on another day though, one that works ok for me right now, and Sunday back to being repeat day.
Didn't like when it moved to just Sunday and it occurred to me this morning that maybe when they moved it to Sunday morning they put it at a time where a chunk of the audience, esp kids with no choice, were still off at religious services or out to breakfast afterward. I mean if you want to impact your ratings negatively Sunday mornings is prob a good time to do it.

Not to mention, didn't TMNT see considerable drops in ratings due to Mothers day and Fathers day too? Which fall on Sundays?

Fridays have become fun again, I agree. Nick May not air Legend of Korra episodes on TV any more but they still put them online every Friday so :D

I don't see it until Saturday anyway since they've stopped putting them online Day One, so it doesn't affect me.
