Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation - Now on Netflix!
 

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but Next Mutation is now up on Netflix through Saban Brands.

I was honestly thinking the show would never see the light of day again. :lol:

Awesome! Soon as I'm done with classes in a couple of weeks I'll re-activate my account so I can watch it! :tgrin:

No way! Sweet! Hopefully this will lead to a dvd release... here's hopin'!

Full episodes?

Certified Turtlefied!

The team up with power rangers is also available on Netflix it's the episode "Shell Shocked" of Power Rangers in Space. And the episode before that one also includes a 3 minute scene at the end of Astronema hypnotizing the turtles IIRC.

Now that Saban has the show DVD releases are likely but first we'd see PR's DVD releases, but its very likely we'll at least get an itunes release or something. Especially when the new show debuts.

NTNM's ratings definately don't deserve reruns as first there were only 26 episodes and second it remains a footnoot in TMNT history. This is still a smart move to get some diehards, but I'll just keep watching the Youtube videos until a DVD (if it even sees the light of day) comes out.

Meanwhile, I'd say 2013 (or even late 2012) is a good time for PR to start releasing DVD's to commemerate the 20th anniversary of that show (along with ultraviolet digital for the tech-savvy). If there was any hope of NTNM coming out on DVD, not only would such PR DVD releases be successful, but also the Nick toon/movie has some success leading to anything Ninja Turtles being cool with the general public, as this promotion will likely only target the core fans as opposed to the casual fans.

Apparently Saban lost the rights to use the theme song and it's been replaced by a totally garbage song that wouldn't have made the cut for the Comin' out of Their Shells setlist.

Shame, I liked it in a so bad it's good, Saban did sell Saban Music Group months ago, though it seems like he kept ownership of all the PR stuff and even Beetleborgs/VRTroopers but maybe not TNM? The logo used there is also different. Oh well. What about the music in the show? If it's just the theme song maybe it was a separate contract, oh well. BTW the ratings of the show weren't that bad apparently from what I've been able to find.

It's neat seeing a higher quality picture of TNM though the lack of Venus is kind of sad.

I just watched East Meets West part 1, I think it's the regular music.

Wow, really? And the episodes are the uncut ones? Is there a way to record the streaming video from Netflix? (I expect not...)

Yes.

It's not.

I don't think there is.

because everytime i go on there, you have to pay to rent the 80's and the 2003 and the movies to watch it..so for this one is it free or pay to rent?

I have all these eps on my cpu, and I've watched them recently, but still, HELL YEAH!
Hell yeah, due to the fact that I can watch 'em in decent quality. Who knows, maybe we'll get a DVD release?

It's for instant viewing. I don't know what kind of plan you have, but to stream would be $7.99 extra.

Now, I might atually be able to get through these. The edited-to-hell aspect pissed me off just as much as the show itself. Still, I hafta watch 'em all at least once.

I'd assume it all depends on what your set up is. Where there's a will there's a way.

This good news. May have to "give in" to my wife's idea to start a Netflix membership.

There's a pretty decent uncut quality version out there, and if the music change is true then that version may be the best "out there".

Yes there is, I don't know for a fact it's possible. Depending your internet connection also depends the quality of your stream FYE.

It's not the original music in the episode either?

hmm that sucks though now that I think about it I don't really remember memorable music from TNM and it may even be an improvement, still sucks though. I wonder if it's because Saban sold Saban Music Group, but Power Rangers, VR Troopers and Beetleborgs have kept their old soundtracks.

If they removed the original music, did they also remove those stupid sound effects in the fight scenes?

We can only hope.

Nah, all the "honks", "dings", "flaps", and "farts" are still there.

Damn now only if I had Netflix :lol:

I wished they had put the classic or the 2k3 series on instant watch but hey it's a TMNT series and it's kinda good enough for me. All I know after I get done playing some InFamous I'm going on Netflix to watch a couple of episodes.

If you got a Xbox or a PS3 it's all about downloading the software to your console.

Those are only methods to watch content after you have a Netflix subscription. You still have to pay.

You still have PC and your laptop for instant watch and if he starts his membership up now it's free for the month. The reason I mention the PS3 or360 is because everything on the console side are already set up and ready to go once Netflix is done loading.

Right... but you still need a Netflix subscription. When someone says they don't have Netflix, they mean they don't have a Netflix subscription.

All I know is that the theme song was changed. I can't vouch for the rest of the music in the series, as I never followed it.

You can even stream Netflix on the Wii and 3DS.

I knew what he meant what I'm saying is signing up isn't a pain and having the service isn't going to cost him for the first month. The only downsize to Netflix they have some nice things in their instant watch library but they got a boat load of stinkers.

Thanks for posting this. I actually never watched these. I'm about to go watch the first episode now.

Amen brother!!!!!

Just added the show to my Netflix lineup I can't believe I missed it! It's not my favorite of the TMNT universe, but I'll get over it. haha

wow...that is possibly the worst TMNT theme song ever. I watched the lottery ticket episode.

I honestly don't think I've watched Next Mutation since 1998 back when it originally aired....

Its been like 13 years since I've seen this series, yet I still remember most of the episodes oddly.

I broke down and watched the first episode the other night. I had no idea this existed back when it was originally aired. Just going off of that first episode it's certainly not as bad as I had expected. I'll watch the rest.

I noticed this post and went on my Xbox and it said that it was DVD only. I went on Netflix with my PC and could watch it with no problem. I guess it doesn't work with the Xbox. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'll check on the Wii in a bit, but I'm pretty sure you just need to add it to your instant queue from the PC, then it would be there next time you fire up the Xbox.

People streaming through their X-Box 360s have reported having problems streaming things, but the Wii seems to be working the way it ought to. I stream through a Wii myself and I can say I'm not having any problems.

Ya, there must be a problem with the 360. I tried adding it to my queue and it doesn't even show up on my queue in the 360. Might have to give Netflix a call and get to the bottom of this.

I don't understand why a member of the fandom wouldn't want to watch TNM even just out of curiosity, it really isn't that bad and if you're a fan of the turtles to spend so much time in the fandom to not make some time to watch it seems silly. I can understand not liking it or not being your cup of tea not even giving it a chance is another.

It definitely deserves a re-watch, there are plenty of OT and 2k3 episodes far worse than the average TNM episode and you've watched those plenty of times and it has plenty of cool moments.

Thanks, an update on this would be good. I don't think it has an entirely new soundtrack though, not that the original was too memorable.

Well Saban controls TNM and they've been putting the brands they got from Disney there from Power Rangers to VR Troopers and now TNM. Fred Wolf would have to make a deal with Netflix and/or Nick for 2k3 which isn't out of the question and it's likely going to happen eventually even if it takes a few years.

man i'm checking this out! first, two questions:

1) how do i search for it?
2) is it available in Canada?
