This was posted in the SDCC thread but should have its own thread so people can see it:

Today at Comic-Con International: San Diego, Nickelodeon announced that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been renewed for a 20-episode fifth season.

Like I expected, we're most likely going to get a 7 season and 150 episode run before the show ends. We'll be up to 118 episodes by the end of Season 5....so we still have some more to go.

I guess the people claiming Nick had some diabolical plan to cancel their show are eating their words right now.

I don't think I ever said they were planning to cancel the show (I just had fears they might pull a Marvel on us), I did say it was stupid of you to assume the show would get 7 seasons when we didn't even know if there was going to be a season 5. It's stupid of you to assume it will reach season 7 though...

Booyakasha! I'm so glad this is happening. I did fear the show would be cancelled after season 4 as that CAN happen. But now I don't have to worry as we now have confirmation that season 5 is coming.

It's great that Ciro's wish of getting this series up to five seasons has came true.

As much as I love this show, I wouldn't want it to last any longer. Not because I fear that it will eventually change directions (Red Sky, Fast Forward and BttS) but I'd like to see another take on a TMNT cartoon. When you stick with one version for so long, you'd eventually get tired of it. Part of the appeal of this property is the multiple different interpretations of it (regardless of how good or bad they are).

The show should not end till it hits 150 episodes and makes 7 seasons. I also think it getting its own DTV like Turtles Forever is likely to happen too.

The odds looked good for the show to get many seasons from the time it began, however no one claimed Nick had a diabolical plan to cancel the show but before the show even premiered you were already claiming the show needed to be at least 150+ episodes and 7 seasons because the two previous shows reached that milestone. That's just silly.

I agree with Cubed...as he mentioned before, Nick spent millions to buy the TMNT franchise..even if sales of toys decline they will try to promote it with the show itself

they won't give up on it so easily

CyberCubed

07-11-2015, 05:00 PM

The funny thing is with 20 episode seasons, it only needs 7 seasons to hit 150 episodes too.

BubblyShell22

07-11-2015, 05:09 PM

But just because it's renewed for a fifth season doesn't automatically mean it'll be seven seasons or more long. That depends on ratings and how long they want to tell the story.

07-11-2015, 08:53 PM

You know, I'm going to find it very funny when/if the show gets renewed for a 7th season like Cybercubed and others have said. When all the naysayers are offered a chance to eat their words(this includes myself by the way).

Seriously though, I was VERY happily surprised when the series was renewed for a 5th season yesterday. I figured that the series wasn't doing well enough to renew it for another season(at least not until season 4 almost finished airing). So...what, is the show considered good enough to renew if the ratings are above a million for each episode? Or do they actually include internet viewing, with a combination of toy sales, dvd sales, movie box office, and comic sales?

Yeah, yesterday was indeed a great day to be a Ninja Turtle fan! :D

Its quite possible. Its also possible after a few years they'll do a revamp in the same continuity with the Turtles as 18 year olds..aimed at the kids who grew up with the Nick cartoon as adults.

hey, thats FANTASTIC news!I love to think forward and there is still so much show ahead...
I would love for the show to mild down on bringing in so many new characters in seasons 4 and 5 and work on the interesting characters/storylines they introduced thus far...I have a feeling we will get much more of this in season 4...with triceratons and fugitoid and all....

Makes you wonder if he's going to give us some version of Issue #44....You all know what I'm talking about.

Seriously, though, that's great that the show is going to last a solid 5+ seasons. I can't believe people really thought Nick was going to can it. If they let Spongebob go on for as long as it is, then why end something that not only brings in a lot of views, but sells tons of stuff along with it? I mean, have you guys BEEN to a Target lately? TMNT toys, party supplies, bedding, clothing, school supplies. It's the 80s-90s all over again! TMNT is for Nick like what Princesses are for Disney.

My only concern is that, hopefully, the writing will get a bit more solid. I think the writers sort of caved to Playmates wanting more diverse figurines to sell and that's why we got all those "Mutant of the Week" episodes that distracted us from the Kraang and Karai plotlines. And while North Hampton had some pretty great episodes, I think taking the Turtles through time and space will hopefully give us more story and less....toy commercials. (Then again, when will TMNT ever NOT sell toys).

Did we know during the other two TMNT cartoons there would be, for example, a sesaon 5 during season 3. All three original seasons of the 1987 cartoon were written like they could have end the series if no continuation deals had been in sight.

Well, word of Season 4 came right after the movie's success and was announced to be shown on CBS. By that point though, most knew that the show would have lasted at least three more seasons given that on major networks, Saturday Morning can have longer runs than on syndication (Smurfs, Muppet Babies, the various Scooby-Doo incarnations, the various Superfriends versions). That said, the announcement of the E/I implementations for 1997 was a pretty clear call about the shows cancellation if it at that point it had been declining for years.

For 4kids, it was generally around six months to a year prior to the announcement and the forum has been around long enough to document those seasons.

That said, this is a wonderful gift for all Nick TMNT fans to take proud of. I actually prefer 20 episode seasons since 26 leads to more filler, plus deeper into the run there is a greater library of episodes to reair that can draw even more fans. That said, depending on how Movie II plays out (look at what Jurassic World did; after Jurassic Park III was a flop, this was quite an achievement).

Yeah, I can agree with this. The 4kids show was already kind of a bummer for me but when they went to space I was like hmmmmm. But I have more confidence in this version.

4kids Triceraton arc was great and much improved over the Mirage version. I recall people complaining because it was a 5 parter and people were eager to get them back to Earth for some reason.

I don't know why but whenever the Turtles leave NYC everyone is always in a rush to see them get back.

Having been watching them all recently myself, I have to agree. I loved this whole arc. I know not everyone will agree with this, but I have always seen TMNT as sci-fi anyway, and when they have been to space in the numerous incarnations, that's what alway has interested me the most. I mean, the ooze came from alien origins anyway, which sets the TMNT as being part alien/sci-fi related before we even get anywhere.

I'm glad for the fifth season.

And as for more seasons...I feel that be it 5 seasons or 25 seasons. I think this incarnation of the series should go on as long as it needs to. And when it comes to an end, make it come to an end in a way that leaves most people satisfied. Tie up ends, wrap things up with certain plots and characters but still have the implication that their adventures continue, but their story as far as this incarnation is concerned is over.

Don't feel like you need to extend it for the sake of squeezing every drop Nick can get out of this. A good way to end this series for good is to have a Theatrical Film (Kind what MLP is doing) where the story is finalized. Or a made for TV film like Turtles Forever had been and have it shown in select theaters as a send off.

If future seasons become as bad as season 3 was (easily the worst so far), then maybe it should have ended sooner than later.

I am glad they decide to have a fifth season. We will have more actions, more mutants, and more alien creatures to see. However I hope the series does not drag on too long, because if it does it might lose its purpose and fail to tell the story perfectly without too much distraction.

Season 3 hasn't been bad at all, there were pacing problems (mostly do to the hiatus), and too much filler in Northampton, but other than that its the same as usual.

Poor stories. Poor usage of characters like Raphael and Michelangelo. Characters just mishandled or thrown away and forgotten (Mutagen Man/Timothy, Karai), wasted potential (like the whole Dark Raph thing...I know they weren't going to do anything with it, but they could have), just 'reference 50 horror films' for the first half of the season, lackluster amounts of emotion when compared to the first two seasons, like you said 'too much filler', nothing memorable & not a single 'stand-out' episode like in seasons before, arcs going nowhere (remember all the 'talk' when the 'April giving Don a peck' stuff came out in just sketches? Yeah, that scene was in it. But did it go anywhere? Accomplish anything? Nope. Still as Square One), etc.

And now they are adding girlfriends for Mikey & Raph? Is that the 'creativity' for this show? "We Don't know what to do with these characters because we can't write them as well as we could or give them even a tiny amount of depth or creativity...so throw in a 'possible girlfriend' which will lead to nowhere like the whole leo/Karai and don/april/casey thing". Yippee.

I agree, it's not bad at all. I actually enjoy it. And also the Kraang have won the battle in the invasion, master Splinter was gone. There was nothing the turtles could do until they knew master Splinter survived and were given quests, everything got back to normal and even better.

Yeah...quests that went nowhere, didn't really accomplish anything, didn't make the characters grow at all, and were pretty quickly forgotten about. Mikey is still the 'idiot who no one takes seriously'. Raph is still the 'useless hothead who is inconsequential to the greater scheme of things'. All that's changed is Leo's voice and he can heal (which will be for that one episode and probably never mentioned again).

Once again, wasted potential.

And think about it, they're bringing the triceratons back. I couldn't have asked better.

The show doesn't need to end until its no longer profitable. The TMNT lore is so deep it could go on for a decade.Spongebob is still profitable. Doesn't mean the quality remains there.

It's not that some of us want the series to end, it's that we want it to end on a high note before decay sets in. Simpsons' decline heavily started about Season 9 or 10, when the last of the old writers left. Spongebob's is really bad right now, it's about Season 15, OT TMNT's decline started after the first couple seasons, and didn't pick back up until around Red Sky.

Each series has a finite 'shelf life' that after that, it risks goes downhill and not being like it was. It's either old writers leaving, producers moving on, or VAs dying. I'm actually glad to have a 5th season ('cause Triceratons) but after that I hope to see things really start to get wrapped up (maybe everything in season 6) since I have seen too many franchise zombies from once healthy series.

Not to mention that The Simpsons has been running for 25 years and the last 15 years haven't been that great, so at this point the part of the show people hate make up the majority. So that's really not doing wonders for it's overall reputation...

Simpsons being a comedy doesn't put it in the same thing as TMNT. Humor has changed, Simpsons characters have gotten stagnant, etc.

Nick TMNT should last at least 7 seasons, although part of me is hoping it can outlast the original cartoon and be the first TMNT series to hit 200 episodes.

Quantity of episodes is not an achievement if quality declines.

The question should be "Can Nick's TMNT last for seven GOOD seasons?" It's possible... but just wanting to hit a set number without any quality qualifications is dangerous.

The original series holds the record of lasting for 10 seasons, I'm sure the Nick series can last beyond the 7th season, There are so many stories to tell, It can literally borrow from any version of TMNT.

I just wanted to say that
I made some research, and that I wanted to make some clarifications.

The show got better after vision quest storywise and we got better actions. However I agree with with you when you mentioned Raph and Mikey's love interests.

I don't think they should try to mix too much of that stuff into the show. It reduces its value in that way.

Once again there are some episodes I haven't watched yet.

As long as the quality is there, I'm fine. Season 3 has easily been the weakest season of TMNT 2012, but in all honesty, it's still a fun watch. Season 2 is still my favorite just because of the emotion in all of the episodes, like episodes 7, 19, 22, and 25-26. But now that there's going to be at least 5 seasons, maybe we're right about "each Turtle getting their own season" thing? I mean, Season 2 was more about Donnie than any other Turtle, Season 3 is clearly centered around Leo, and with Mona Lisa in season 4, I'm hoping season 4 is about Raph, and Season 5 could be about Mikey?

I just wasn't feeling it. It wasn't interesting and just bored me, though there were some funny moments like when they escaped from the prison and Raph yelled, "Spooons!" But that was it really. I just wasn't into it.

Yeah, I can agree with this. The 4kids show was already kind of a bummer for me but when they went to space I was like hmmmmm. But I have more confidence in this version.

Yeah, I think they'll make it interesting enough to keep us going. Heck, in the 2003 series, I never liked the Don centered episodes because I thought they were boring, but I don't find them boring in the Nick show. So that tells you right there that the quality of writing is good if I can stay tuned into it instead of wishing the episode would end.

Thank you! I have been trying to tell Cybercubed this even before news got out for a fifth season. I don't care what kind of money Nick makes out of this. It needs to end on a high note, not drag on where fans begin to hate it like the later Simpsons or Spongebob years. Or worse: the last episode of Lost. Technically, the majority didn't like the last 2 seasons of the 2k3 series. So, if Nick wants to be smart about this, they should end the show by the 5th season.

Anyone who wants the show to end early is a fool. There's 30 years of quality material to pull from. In the right hands, the show could span 10 seasons or more without even being close to running on fumes. You've got at least 5-6 key iterations whose stories/concepts/characters can be borrowed, in addition to the influence of Playmates & original content from the creative team.

There's a lot of material Nick TMNT can still cover, some of this is already confirmed for Season 4:

- Triceraton arc, hopefully we get to see the Turtles on the Triceraton homeworlds and in the tournament arena too.

- Lord Dregg arc

- Kraang Vs. Neutrinos war.

- Renet/Time travel. We need to see them in the prehistoric, ancient Japan, the future, etc.

- Bishop EPF arc where they hunt down mutants and try to imprison/experiment on them

- Some sort of tournament arc like the Battle Nexus or Stump Asteroid

- Archie material, like Malinga or Null

- Fast Forward villains reimagined

- Don trapped in a robot/cyborg body, Shredder being a mantle

etc.

I agree so much with everything you said. This is how I am feeling. I guess I am part of a minority here. I just watched the new DVD and I really didn't like much about any of the episodes, except the inclusion of Bebop and Rocksteady. I hope that the good things I loved about the first two seasons comes back soon. I have to add a few more things. I really hated how they treated Mikey. He should never be treated like a child of the family and therefore less talented than the others, ever. Seeing it again really just pisses me off and makes me feel so bad for him. After watching Mikey in the 2k3 series with all his flaws, he was still tough and capable. Whenever Nick Mikey really brings it, I totally love him so much more.

Season 3 has plenty of great episodes. Nobody will be complaining in the future when the hiatus' are all over and people are free to watch episodes over and over.

I agree so much with everything you said. This is how I am feeling. I guess I am part of a minority here. I just watched the new DVD and I really didn't like much about any of the episodes, except the inclusion of Bebop and Rocksteady.

I'd say season 3 is about the same quality as season 2. This season has been really good since they returned to New York.

I don't hate season 3 at all and think it's just as good as the first two seasons. I'm stoked for season four because we're going to get even more action. And season three isn't even done yet, so there's definitely more stuff to explore.

I like season 3 just as much as the first two. I just wish they would release them all on Blu-ray.

I know I'm late to the game on this, SDCC really wiped me out, but I'm really glad this series got a fifth season greenlit! I'm really enjoying this series as a whole very much. By the time this series is all wrapped up it will be one of my favorite cartoons of all time I believe. And because of SDCC, season four sounds great by the way.

This is good news thank god :D I just hope the quality won't worsen. As I rewatched a few epsiodes of season 1 the show certainly has changed. But I don't wanna go off-topic... I'm so pumped I don't have to say goodbye for our green heroes for a long time. ^^

I like the part of season 3 starting with vision quest very much...
hope there is lots of shredder and foot stuff in the remainder of this season and looking forward to see the following two seasons!..now, that we are getting such intregral parts of tmnt lore with the triceratons, the fugitoid and renet I am excited to see where ciro and gang are taking this!
I have a feeling that they are just starting instead of slowly decreasing in quality as is the case with many successful tv shows...perhaps the openess to plan with a POSSIBLE season 4 and 5 has kept it even...

One way to remedy declining toy sales would be to actually stock basic (and presumably very popular) characters such as Casey Jones or a normal, human Karai, instead of Turtles as barbarians, Turtles as divers, Turtles in space suits, Turtles as circus clowns, Turtles as whales, Turtles as blueberry muffins, mix & match Little Pony birthday party snail shell Turtles......
Not to mention Mutant of the Week 1, Mutant of the Week 2, Mutant of the Week 467, etc., etc. etc.
