Special prime-time Friday premier?
 

Seen this on TVGuide: http://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-sho...odeid=20876166

Says the show's gonna air @8 PM on Friday (9-28 ). Thoughts?

I'm ****ing ecstatic if this is true, means I can actually watch it live.

Wow Nick is going all out here. I think every Friday could be a rerun of last Saturday's episode for people who miss it, it is a clever tactic used before online streaming was invented.

That and it's yet another sign that this Turtle series will go on until the aliens who seed life on this planet come back for the Harvest of Memnon.

Cool. Zap2it doesn't seem to know anything about it though.

Nick is definitely expecting a big hit if they're airing it on two different times lots for kids.

This is fantastic news, I almost feel like I am 8 years old again. Hopefully they keep this Friday slot for reruns of last weeks episodes.

^ I've always felt like you're 8 years old.

This is great!!!

So, instead of 9/29 in the mourning, it will air on 9/28 in the afternoon?

Awesome!

I'm in morning because I just decided to disconnect cable to save on my bills.

:D

I'm excited. Can't wait to see this. I really hope it will be on ondemand also. I plan on watching the crap out of this. Well unless it isn't good. But I usually give everything about five episodes before I decide if I'm going to watch or not.

How is 8pm the afternoon?

This is awesome!

This sucks for me because I have a night class at my college.

Special indeed.
Then it turns out to be the 1rst 5 minutes or a collection of the promos.

Ooh, this would be fantastic.. I have to teach kids music on Saturdays, so if I can catch it on Friday that'd be great...

I was probably going to DVR it and watch it at night anyways..so this works. I wonder if it's not a typo or something..

Why they decided to air it on September 29 instead of September 29?

To make people in Greece super jelly.

I wish Nick had the rights to do a full TMNT history retrospective before the premier to get people up-to-speed on the turtles. It could cover the original comics, then on through the films and tv series, with interviews and stuff.

But then I remember that this is a kids show and only like 100 people on earth would even care :P

...Nick OWNS the f*cking turtles. They 'have the rights' to do anything, including just that. Besides, haven't you heard of "Turtle Power", the documentary?

Nick owns TMNT 100%. The cartoons, the comics, everything.

The only thing they don't have the rights to air/release is the original cartoon which Lionsgate holds onto, and Next Mutation which Saban holds onto.

But since those are on DVD it doesn't matter as much.

They do not own the 4 theatrical films.

This is great! I hope they keep that slot for showing reruns of the previous week's episode. I'm not usually able to watch TV on Saturday mornings and I'd hate to have to miss the new series.

This is awesome!:tgrin:

Oddly, Zap2it knows nothing of this primetime showing, but TVGuide has the Saturday morning showing replaced with something else now. :P I still believe it though.

Given that they've been plugging the date 9/29 for months now, and are continuing to do so (I saw a promo a few minutes ago), I'm still not convinced that this isn't just an error made by TV Guide.

I've been wondering that myself...:tconfuse:

It's called a sneak peek or early showing, the official debut is still Saturday.

TV stations do this all the time.

Similar to how NBC showed new Fall pilots after the olympics.

Whenever Nick gets a new show they premiere it a day earlier, but call it a special preview, and then have the official premiere the day after. i don't know if they're going to do it with the turtles though, as every commercial says 9.29

Oh this is just too good to be true!

I hope I get to see this show. I will not be able to catch it on tv so...... I have to use other means........

I want to, but dont believe this.

I hope you mean watching it legally on Nick.com.

I bet there'll be iTunes releases too (in stunning HD :teek:).

According to tvguide.com, it's playing at primetime on Friday instead of Saturday morning.

Wow, this would be amazing if true.

I don't have cable/sat right now so I will probably buy them on itunes. I hope they are in 1080p. I'll get the season pass if they offer that.

Nice!!!!! :thyper: :thyper: :thyper: :tparty: :tthumbsu: :tthumbsu: :tlove: :nod: :tgrin: !!!! The sooner the better!

Well, I share the HD with three other dudes, so Saturday morning is infinitely better for me. I'm a morning person. These dudes watch football and stuff every night. But I'll make it work...
