classic TMNT might come back to british TV.....
 

For your information, I live in the UK, so in this thread, I am talking about what can be found on television in my home country

Last year, I found a channel on Sky called "POP" (channel 619, currently unavailable for NTL, telewest and freeview users) , a channel that shows 90s cartoons and pop music videos. Their assortment of cartoons includes the "Sonic the hedgehog" cartoons, the "Super mario" cartoons and the last few episodes of "Captain N the game master" . Because of their decent variety of cartoons from the 90s, I wrote to them asking if they could maybe start showing the classic version of "Teenage mutant ninja turtles" (to avoid confusion, I stated that it was also known as "Teenage mutant hero turtles" ) , and they wrote back saying:

We have left your request with our cartoon pickers, and we can tell you that we have no immediate plans to show "Teenage mutant hero turtles"

thank you for your letter and we hope you continue to enjoy our shows

Well, they have no immediate plans to show classic Teenage mutant ninja turtles, but if the cartoon pickers say yes to it, we will be able to watch turtles on TV again!

Judging by the way they said "Hero" rather than "Ninja" , the version that sounds more likely would be the "Hero" version (with modified theme song and censorship over Michelangelo's Nunchukas) , but hey, that shouldn't be a problem, eh? You can still enjoy the show with or without Michelangelo's Nunchukas eh?

I bet if they do choose the "Hero" version (if they do say yes to turtles) , it might be to avoid confusion over the new version of Teenage mutant ninja turtles that can be found on Jetix (sky channel 609) .

Well, finger crossed, we might see classic Turtles on our TV screens again...

Sorry if this was a bit too much for you.

At this present moment, the BBC hold the rights to the original cartoon, so POP has no say in it.

That thing about the show maybe being aired sounds like a standard, automatic kind of reply to me. I wouldn't hold my breath, myself. Who wants to see edited episodes, anyway? I don't...Mikey without his 'chunks just ain't right.

*hugs her Old Toon dvds*

that would be sweet if you could see the original toon on tv again in your country.

o man id love to see all those classic 90s toons..i was born in 86 so theyve been a huge part of the life i have lived so far..
