Do you think Nick will buy the OT?
 

I remember reading when Nick bought the turtles that they "were looking into" buying the OT as well. Now that was just a comment when asked about the OT I think. Do you think it could actually happen?

On one hand its an old show that finished its run long ago, it doesn't have much profitability likely besides media releases. Then again they did buy the 2k3 show which also finished its run and wasn't a show that set the world on fire, it IS more recent though. With them airing Turtles Forever which includes a team up of a team of turtles they can't re-run who knows, especially if the 2k3 show proves to give them decent ratings, then again Nick also has a big catalog of classic shows they refuse to air. It would be nice to have everything under one roof. Well It'd be missing The Next Mutation but Disney doesn't like to sell and I really doubt Nick would try to try to buy it, theres also the movies which basically have 0 chance of them getting the rights.

Who's Nick? Some REALLY crazy fanboy? He'd have to be crazy, and wealthy to buy the whole TMNT franchize. Like, WOW! :o

Y-you're kidding, right? :P

Anyway, I sort of hope they do get ahold of it. Then maybe they would have a Turtletoon block!

Lolol, nice!

I hope not. I get the feeling they've never release the series on DVD>.

If they are then I would think that it was a sign that they are really planning to go at this series with all barrels loaded. I would think. Maybe they just have money to waste.

I hope so. They can air it as part of a classic block. It is a hilarious show after all.

Prob would be cool if they did buy the OT but lets just hope Nick doesn't get Next Mutation as well that Turtle series should stay in the vault never to be seen again.

Ok got a question have they even hinted about purchasing the OT or is this pure fan speculation?

either way lets not get our hopes up.

Would be cool but no they prob wont.

An article announcing the buyout had said that Viacom was looking to buy that series too. But, that could likely have been a case of miscommunication. Hardly unprecedented...

one can always hope

We probably will see The Next Mutation on Nick, when they air the Power Rangers In Space episode "Shell Shocked".

yeah that's about it

The only thing I wish for Nick to do right now, is to bring back those darn turtle Popsicles. Nick makes sponge bob and some other ones, so I am hoping for turtle Popsicles sooner or later.

Of course, they own everything under the name of TMNT.

I mean… I get why they would want to own that specific version but like… Is it actually going to be profitable? Maybe there is a reason Lionsgate "never did anything with it".

Well, it's nearly 200 episodes of nostalgic material that, so far, has been completely unavailable on streaming platforms. Easy way to gain some Paramount+ subs.

I hope it didn't cost them very much money.

This is some of the best news I've read all day! :tgrin:
