so... the 80s crossover...
 

Ive just completely tuned out of this show... is this still gonna happen. Any idea when theyre airing this episode already?

Possibly late March.

I hear it's the 10th episode of season 4. But, I got that from IMDB, so......:ohwell:

Don't trust IMDB any one can edit it like Wikipedia.

Coola, why do you have to be this way? Just marathon the eps you missed online. I don't know why you're so disgruntled lately.

I don't know... it just got to the point that I lost interest....

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Something Cubed (unfortunately) doesn't or ever will get.

Also, why assume everyone has the capability or interest in watching it online? I'm in the same boat as Coola, I'm already way past over this show and I'm gonna watch it on DVD when I get around to it, otherwise I have zero urgency to watch it whatsoever on account of it simply isn't very good (Note: Things like "Fun" and "Cute" can totally apply to something but still not make it objectively "Good". It is a poorly-written and frustrating show). I'm curious to see the 80s cross-over episode, too, but that's it. I'm not gonna "Watch all the episodes online" on account of my connection is unreliable and I have MUCH better things to do.

So yeah, there's no point in trying to guilt-trip people who haven't been watching the show into watching it. It's fine if people watch it and like it but there's just as many good reasons not to. Let 'em if they feel like, otherwise just answer the simple question asked.

Because we're not in 1995 anymore when missing episodes on TV meant you were out of luck until reruns or home video releases.

Episodes are online the same day they air, some legally some not legally. You can find any show anywhere online these days.

What part of "Some people have better sh*t to do than marathon run a mediocre cartoon show they are not the audience for" did you miss, exactly?

Looks like Cubed thinks if you don't watch episodes of a show right away the Internet will manifest physical form and force you to watch it... Just because it's readily available on the web, it's still optional to see it or not, or wait it out to binge it.

For the people who are interested and want to catch up.

I do not believe that is how Coola had self-identified.

It definitely came off more like, "Don't care about the show much, is that cross-over thing still happening" than what you said.

He was very interested, its that the rerun breaks killed his interest.

Interesting point, but that still isn't how his initial post came off. Ah well.

For all you know the guy's been on a mission trip in Botswana teaching the native girls how to give handjobs. Just because you assume he's not busy doesn't make it so.

Wow.... way to put words into my mouth.

I've lost interest in the show. I don't know what it is. It just lost its luster... it's spark. It just got too stupid. Or something. Like Leo has said several times before 'it's just not for me'.

I've no interest in watching the show online, I'll probably get around to buying the DVDs...whenever... and watching it... whenever.

I just care about the crossover episode for now, and maybe the aftermath with the Shredder and Karai whenever things get back to normal.

Now Leo, as long as those Botswanian native girls are of legal age, then sure, I'm game for educating them. =D

I would say the show was good in the first season when the writing was a lot more funny and less cringe worthy at times than in recent episodes. I mean if I laughed and enjoyed something a lot why shouldn't I consider it good. Now a days I view the show as a poorly written , funny at times, greatly designed and animated show that occasionally has really solid episodes.

Coola: Attaboy.

And I myself wasn't trying to put words in your mouth but I can see it kind of coming off that way. Slow day, what can I tell ya? :lol: Cubed totally speaks for everyone, though, just ask him. :trazz:

Well, yeah I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the Thread Locker.

See, it seemed odd to me that he assertively stated you were Very Interested in the show because I could swear I'd read you say you weren't happy with it lately. I swore we had similar grievances with it.

Tempting fate, are we?

He just might come in and say his signature catchphrase.

This thread needs to be locked.

It feels the show 'isn't ninja turtle-ing correctly'. lol

What's that 'ninja turtle-ing correctly' a reference to? I remember seeing it on the boards but can't remember what it was about.

It was a comment I made in a post like two or three years ago.

Ding!!! I had no idea it was that long ago.

The show itself is fine, its the rerun breaks and Nick's scheduling that kills interest in the series. If you were to watch all the episodes back to back you'd have no problem.

No.... cause watching the episodes back to back to would only remind me why I just don't care anymore that much faster..... I'll just sit this space stuff out until they bring back Shredder of the crossover, thanks.

There's actually quite a bit about it that isn't great, but whatever you say.

Why does the space stuff bother you? All these episodes have been fine and linked together.

Better than sitting in NYC for another 13 episodes with the same CG backdrops.

I just can't bring myself to care..... I'm just burnt out on the Nick version of the show.... Killing Splinter and then ending the episode with a joke..... then bringing back Dregg only to make him a random mook and not a main villain.. Bishop... and from what I heard of the Neutrinos... Yeah, I'm done.

Coola: :lol: 'Zackly. Whenever I catch a mini-marathon of episodes over a weekend, I'm only completely reminded as to WHY I can only handle the show in small doses. :lol: The things I don't like about it aren't because of the schedule, it's because the writing and characterization are often bad.

My fandom only extends so far. Is it a horrible show? No. And it meets the needs of its audience. I am not that audience, and this show is not for me.

Casey was the one who made the joke, not the Turtles. Likewise the Turtles know Splinter is alive since Fugitoid sped the Earth around Superman II style to reverse time.

Lord Dregg is a major villain, he's tracking the Turtles. Obviously the Triceratons and the Kraang are the main space villains though. This version of Bishop is also pretty good especially if you see the last episode.

Still everyone Casey knows is dead, it's still bad writing.

Cubed, I'm curious as to why you take his dislike of the show and his perfectly valid reasons for feeling that way as a personal affront.

A lot of people have a really hard time admitting this show's shortcomings, in their desperation to keep the brand alive. It's off-putting. It's a very flawed show that gets by on a mixture of charm and nostalgia. That's it.

The whole "It's TMNT so anything that happens is forgivable" thing is ludicrous. The writing simply isn't there. That's to be expected, it's a toy commercial, but still. Stop trying to justify it.

I don't mind if people don't like some aspects of it, but lately people are acting like the entire show is an insult to their well being. Such as Raphael fans coming up with conspiracy theories that the writers of the show hate him, or that people keep complaining about "plot holes" and "continuity" without any valid claims.

Agreed , I like the show but the story quality isn't the best and it's not well written but I absolutely love the design of basically every characters and I still enjoy it because it's fun and charming. I can still enjoy something flawed.

Well sure, that's how it should be. We all like imperfect things.

Some of us like more imperfect things than others *cough* Bay Turtles *cough*.

Well some people just have fun with them while openly admitting their awfulness, which I suppose is acceptable. I mean I own "Meet the Feebles" on DVD, so, yeah. :trazz:

It's the "These movies are great" stuff that's like, "No... no, no. Just no."
