New Show

[Utrom]

I love the new show, but I was just curious of your thoughts on a possible furture series. Maybe sometime in the future there will be another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show. If there ever is one, what would you like it to be about? Do you want it to be CGI, normal animation, or live action?

[Jarrah White]

I wouldn't mind seeing the long awaited second season of The Next Mutation. But that's just me.

This current TMNT show is only a year old, and I am loving every bit of it.
I hope it runs for many more years. This show has been awesome so far.
I am not even thinking of a future show, since I don't want the current show to end. I am sure I speak for lots of fans when I say this.

Oh yeah, I'm not looking for this new series to end, as I think it's just about the best thing on TV at all...

Buuut if we're looking ahead here, I'd say another cartoon. Just like this one. Maybe it's still the same cartoon, just running for a really long time! :wink:

Yeah, that'll work. :) :D

[Utrom]

I don't want the new show to end either. Perhaps they could have two shows of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles running at the same time. For Example: We could have the current show and maybe a show made more for adults. What are your thoughts :-?

[Taloniss]

I'd like a nice and R rated cartoon on HBO. Like Spawn was.

[Jo Dawn]

Oh yeah... that would be awesome.

[Chewie]

Weird Thoughts. :lol:

The Series is very new and not yet spread over all countries (Germany for example) :wink:

I can`t believe the Show is going boring for you? :wink:

[Jo Dawn]

Not boring for me at all!! I said I was hoping that the "future" TMNT show would be the current one - still on the air. :)

[Brinatello]

A future show different from the current one would have to be seen about twenty years from now for the next generation of children. And, I think this brand new show should start in the future, or like where Mirage Vol. 4 currently is. I say this because starting at the beginning (meeting April, meeting Casey, fighting Shredder etc.) for a third time would be so redundant to the fans who grew up with it from the eighties. There's plenty of material for kids of the future to read up on their origin. Oh, and as far as the type of show, CGI would really be nice to see. If not, then I hope to see them as they are now. I'm very happy with the animation. :)

Yea, that sounds really good.

What I really want id for some station to start showing reruns of the old show. That would make me happy.

[Orochi Chimera]

I agree with Taloniss. An R/TV MA rated show would be interesting. Just like Spawn but with a lot more episodes.

Exactly what I want. I Loved that Spawn series and I'd like to see a TMNT series just like it.

BTW, They're currently working on a fourth season of the spawn series. I can't wait!

Is it going to be on HBO? I haven't been able to find any information on it. It's been off the air for years so I thought it was cancelled.

I'm assuming so. There was some information about it posted by a McFarlane staff member over at the spawn boards a week or so ago. I'll try to find the info again.

[Taloniss]

YES! More Spawn baybeee! That cartoon rocked.

[Lisardo]

Like one other person said, the show is too new to think about another new show on top of it. I know you guys mean like later on, years down the road when this show is considered old. But still, it is wayyyyyy too soon now to think about that. I'm fine with just the two already-existing TMNT toons. Now I wish THOSE toons would play back to back from one another. Heck, they reshowed the old Back to the Future toon on FB, why not the old TMNT toon? I'd say instead of making another, and at this point over-redundant TMNT series, they outta make a 4th movie. Which of course has already been discussed, but just has not happened yet. Or also like someone else said, maybe make some more NTM eps, and revise the show alittle bit more so that it wouldn't be so cheesy as it was.

[Jester]

i'd kinda like to see the second season of NM too....it'd be interesting....but i haven't seen the first season....side bar....does disney (through saban) not have total rights to the NT:NM series....since it is still under partial licence from surge??? is that why we see crap anime like digimon on ABC family and no x-men, spiderman, or NT:NM cause of the licencing from marvel and mirage....sorry just though i'd add that in there.
And why does an adult series have to be rated r?? it could be dark and more adult an be pg or pg-13....i mean look at TMNT 1....it was awesome...just righ

I agree. The new show is everything you could want or expect. Everyone considers their self a fan, or else they would not be on here and if they like the new show, then it should stay popular. Although, when I saw that CG pilot a few years back, it did make me interested.

I'm probably going to be crucified and blacklisted 'round here for saying this, buuuut..

I'd actually like to see the new 'toon end.

Don't get me wrong, I love the show (It very well may be my favorite incarnation of the Turtles), and I'm not saying it should end anytime soon. But if you look at all shows that last for more than six or seven years, they just start becoming weaker as they get older (with The Simpsons being an exception.. although, of late, even that's been fairly weak in comparison to previous season).

One of the things that annoys me about a lot of US-created shows is that they don't have a definitive ending, though. The series just goes on and on and on until it gets cancelled. It'd be nice for the current series to have an actual end.

Nothing drastic has to happen. The turtles can all stay alive and everything.. Maybe Shredder could finally be sent back to the Utroms homeworld or something? I dunno. It'd just be nice for there to be some closure.

[Brinatello]

As bold a statement as that is, I understand what you mean. Yes, we would love the show to go on for a very long time, but even time takes a toll on the best of things. The same went for Futurama. The show was a hit and it ended when it was doing good and ratings were up! Why? Because it didn't want to lose its touch and get weak down the line. I would love to see TMNT last as long as the old series, maybe longer! But, nothing can go on forever...much as we'd want it to.

Ya know, this topic is getting depressing. :(

[Triceraton]

No, Futurama ended because Fox executives hated it, and went out of their way to force it to get bad ratings so they could cancel it. :( It wasn't because they were afraid the show would get weak.

[Brinatello]

Oh, but it was a fact that the show was liked by the viewers, right? I know I liked it and I'm still watching the repeats on Cartoon Network. lol.

[MW8979]

Same thing with Family Guy. Most people didn't even understand that show, so to kill it, they kept scheduling it in different weird time slots so nobody could watch it and to get bad ratings and voila, it went off the air.

[Lisardo]

I know with sitcoms like Step by Step and Family Matters, the shows were cancelled and didn't have endings. Which really sucked, seemed so unfinished. They were part of the famous, 'TGIF' run on ABC back in the early 90's. Even the OS TMNT, that show didn't end right either. Just some defeat of Dregg in "Divide and Conquer "and that's it, the show is done. I don't remmeber in the last 'Red Sky' season if Shredder/Krang were defeated or not, but if they weren't defeated and were still lurking around, then as far as I'm concerned, the series hasn't ended yet. Again, prolly just dropped. I'd be repeatitious to make new eps of the OS TMNT, but in a way I'd be cool to see the old turtles come back. Tho I do so much love the new series too. I agree with everyone that if they have this new series run for a long time, this time end it properly.

[Triceraton]

Oh, but it was a fact that the show was liked by the viewers, right? I know I liked it and I'm still watching the repeats on Cartoon Network. lol.

Of course viewers loved it. After all, the petition to Fox to save the show brought in 130,000+ signatures(which is a huge amount for an online petition).
If the show hadn't been great, it wouldn't be so successful on Cartoon Network, and they wouldn't still be making new merchandise. Actually, in a way they kind of are continuing the show, in the comic book, since they're just as well written, and are now using some plots that were planned for the show but never made it in.

But Fox was expecting another Simpsons, and since Futurama was a very different kind of show, they didn't like it. Also, Fox didn't get the merchandising rights, which they have for The Simpsons, so they were angry about that as well. So they scheduled it where it could only get low ratings so they'd have an excuse to cancel it. It took a little while, but they finally did it.


But, on topic, I don't want to see the new TMNT end anytime soon. Sure they've used most of the major comic story arcs, but there's still more they can adapt. Plus all of the original stories have been just as good. The way I see it, TMNT will always be a good concept, and so even when this show ends I'd expect to see another one in the future(though it'd probably be a gap of around 10 years or so before anyone would try TMNT again).

[Orochi Chimera]

The good news for anyone who likes Family Guy is that it is coming back with as many as 35 new episodes.

[MW8979]

That's good news and all, but I hope they haven't sold out and dumbed down the show in exchange for the return to tv.

[Orochi Chimera]

They probably haven't sold out since the reason it's getting a second chance is because of it's popularity. If they changed the style of the show (the style that people like now) that would be just plain stupid. But I guess you really never know with Fox.
