4Kids Cease "Development Of New Shows"

This is legit stuff here. One Peice is already cancelled

Now I know why there splitting Fast Forward in two, this is it folks. I'm calling it right now.

Please don't let this affect the Ninja Tribunal DVD set. *prays*

Shouldn't this be a good thing for the turtles though? I mean if 4Kids isn't going to make new shows, that means they will have to focus on shows they already have right? Or did I take this the wrong way? Is 4Kids going off the air?

yowza meyowza this is not good...not good at all..:| :x :dead:

I think its only One Piece though,

and the ninja trubunal was finished so it won't affect it, the dvd was already delayed though.

though didn't murphy said there were some early talks to see if someone picked up a new tmnt?

It's not.

Might be referring to a series continuation under a new animation team, like the original series with Red Sky. CW would be a good spot for it, as it's the place for ratings grabbers like The Batman and SASDGAC

CW? You mean Kids WB?

This is great news, shut those bastards down. Once they fall on their ass some other company will come up and take on all these shows. And then maybe TMNT will be able to thrive. Or it and everything on the network will be trashed. With a possibility of it being re-birthed later on a new network/Saturday Morning slot.

So it's not just TMNT that's doing bad! It's the other shows to. So it's quite possible TMNT is doing bad because no one knows to watch it. You turn on 4Kids and you see WINX Club you cringe and change the channel. So you never see that ad that tells you when TMNT is going to be on.

It's not TMNT it's these other crap shows that people are watching. This is turning the potential adult audience away from the series to. Hell I know a few adults who would watch TMNT every Saturday if they knew it was on, or when it was on.

I dont see how this says TMNT is cancelled. All it said was One Peice. Plus it says new 'shows', not new 'episodes'. Theres a difference. I mean i'll agree, with this news it doesnt look that good for TMNT, but i still don't see anything confirmed.

A 4kids representive confirmed it in the e-mail.

No new shows means no new seasons of anything, TMNT is a show, Sigma Sux is a show, no new shows mean no new seasons, that's why they split FF in two.

So does this mean 4Kids TV is being phased out? Because if thats the case, good riddance. Those bastards screwed the TMNT out of the proper ratings, that network deserves to die.

I don't think you're interpeting that correctly. 4kids wants to focus on their own shows rather than licensed ones.

4kids renewed 4kidsTV for another two years on Fox, so they have another year of 4kidsTV in September. You think they're not going to have anything new besides 13 eps of FF and their other junk?

It is very possible that after the last 13 eps of FF and the 12 eps of Ninja Tribunal that the series is done, but who knows if the movie will revive interest or whatnot.

Even if it does 4Kids could still can the show, and then Laird would have to move networks. Just wish he wasn't contract bound to 4Kids or he could have a long time ago.

Is that even possible for the show to remain in continuity with the 2k3 series but be developed by a different company and have the same voice actors and writers and everything?

Well Dong Woo is who animates the show, I'm not so sure 4Kids owns them.

Some one help me out here, I know there's shows that have been canned and re birthed on other networks.

That all depends on the terms of their agreements. Only the individuals involved would know. The common answer is that the rights to the series could conceivably be sold, but certain changes in crew would be likely inevitable due to public relations issues. I'm not familliar with any other television distributor associated with Dong Woo Animation. But, if 4Kids discontinues Dong Woo's obligation... Never say never. ;)

Well Dong Woo is owned by no network they do these shows

* Animal Yokocho
* Akazukin Cha Cha
* Baby Looney Tunes
* BAStOF Lemon
* The Batman
* The Boondocks
* Jackie Chan Adventures
* Justice League
* Justice League Unlimited
* Olympus Guardian
* Ozzy & Drix
* Static Shock
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
* Teen Titans
* Ultimate Avengers
* Uniminipet

I got this from Wiki so I don't know if it's totally accurate but there ya go.

It would be nice if Mirage can somehow work a deal with another company if 4kids does indeed end the show after FF.

I'd hate to see them lose everything they built up from all these seasons, because if another new TMNT cartoon comes down the road we'd be back to square 1 again and have continuity restarted in a brand new cartoon. I don't think I can tolerate watching the Turtles meet April for the first time yet AGAIN. :roll:

I'm sure Laird would also want to see the Tales Vol. 2 comics and some of Volume 4 adapted into eps as well. Would be nice for another company to return them to the present after FF, (unless the Turtles do indeed get back to the present in the last ep of FF), and continue from there.

Umm... yeah. Whatever. Shows are "crap" just cause you don't like 'em, I take it?
Winx Club has been rather good, IMO. As have other shows on the 4KidsTV block.

The best shows on 4Kids besides TMNT reruns are those great images talking about cereal and offering the chance to win PSPS.

There called "commercials", they do suffer from reruns though

WINX is W.I.T.C.H (Watered-down Idiots Torture Children's Happyness)
