If we want TMNT to stick around... we need to do our part.
 

We should work on growing our community. We We have something really special here with this show. Everyone in the family can enjoy it and it provides good quality tv that has been lacking for a long time.

I'd like to try to put our brains together to figure out HOW we can grow our community. Also, how we can make turtle fans out of more people.

Honestly, I'm willing to go as far as to do guerrilla advertising in my city.

Thoughts?

It just got renewed for a third season what are you saying? If it dosent get renewed for a fourth by the time the second season is done that is when we should worry.

At this point I'm willing to figure out a way to shrink our community.

To what end? For what purpose?

I have all-ready shared this show with several of my associates, and made people that I know of watch it, and they enjoyed it.
As well have I given it a few nodges in my web videos.


I did not do any of that with the intend of "Making the show last longer."

I did it because I found the show, it suprised the hell out of me due to the quality and entertainment factor. And then I have been so excited about it that I told my friends about it in very enthusiastic terms.

That's really all there is to it, and that's what there continously will be to it for my part.

I'll talk about the funny joke the latest TMNT episode did, or how bad-ass the fighting was, or how great the show is.. just because I feel like it and want to share this awesome thing with my friends. That's it.

And it has actually made several of my friends watch the show so we can share the goodiness in our conversations. Mission compleated! Great!

I'm stilling trying to figure out how to get my CGI-hating friend into this show >:u............

Recite some of the really good jokes from the show, it will do wonders.

"I have an App for that!" (Delivered with a big smile and a hand up in the air.)

"So you did eat my pizza, you LIAR!"


Yes, I have walked around quoting this show for quite a bit, and it has helped making people curious.

Also when I talk about it, I don't say "It's so good." Go into way more detail about it!

"It's so good! Shredder is all like, mysterious shadow figure, and he is voice by Kevin Michael Richardson! His voice is so badass! You should see his introduction episode, it is so great. listen, the entire episode is just about building a fake sense of security all-right? so the turtles are over-confident and beats the bad guys, building that security, and then in the last five minutes of the episode.. he just appears! and beat the snot out of them in like two seconds flat, and it's awesome!"

.... I do sound like a dorky little fan-girl when I talk about stuff I really like.. I become a mixture of an excited Donnie and a Mikey in those cases.. it's a hopeless case really :/

it doesn't help that she doesn't like how Donnie looks.....and he was her favorite turtle in 2003 XD...(she hates his adorable gap)

she also doesn't like how Karai looks....oh and Splinter is too big.......lol

but whenever we do watch it with her husband she's chuckling in the corner XDDDDD

....I don't know what to do with her.....lol

Ooooh, she's that type. She's kept back by pride and refuse to go back on what she all-ready said, cause it will hurt her pride.

Only one way to deal with those types of people. Be a troll and poke to her about it on a consisten basis! That's always a lot of fun! :thyper:


If she's Raphael, refusing to back down due to pride, be Mikey, be a troll! Just make sure you can out-run her...

As I always says, if there is a very large strong man in front of you doing some-thing silly, try not to troll him, even though it's very hard.. you'll always end up in a pond. Some-how.
Incidently, always have dry clothes with you when you go to bigger social gatherings..

lol don't worry her husband is already bugging her XD

and I think it is her pride. (we'll still try though!)

Of cause it is, dude, she claims to not like the show right?

But sits in the corner watching while it is on, and pays enough attention to chuckle at the jokes.

If you don't like the show, you don't want to watch.. you go out of the room when people watch it. If she really didn't like it, she wouldn't pay enough attention to be chuckling of the jokes.

I would have trolled the hell out of her very quick.
"What? is that a laugh? no no, you don't like this show. You can't watch this, why don't you just spend these twenty minutes on some-thing more usefull? like.. doing the dishes. You don't like the show any-how right?"

I think she pretends to be on her phone sometimes XD
(now that I think about it it's pretty funny)

maybe I should troll her~ ^_^

Go for it!


"Hey, we are trying to watch tely, so it's rude for you to be on the phone in here, go into the kitchen please." :D

This would have been a much more valid topic if it had been posted in 2009 or 2010.

Trying to force other people to think the same way as you, whether for the purposes of politics, religion, or even Ninja Turtles, is really just a silly waste of your personal time.

Your bravado is exemplary, but Saki's introduction was at the end of "Rise of the Turtles, Pt. 2".

"The Gauntlet" was his first skirmish against the Turtles. :twink:

Why the hell should we force people to watch the show if they don't want to? That's just pointless. And since it's going to be around for at least three seasons, there's no need to worry about whether it'll stay on the air. And besides, there are a lot of other forums out there that deal with TMNT such as TMNT-L, Stealthy Stories, and Mikey's TMNT Forums (though Mikey's Forums don't work as of now, and I'm not sure why). So, there's really no need to worry about this stuff.

"Growing the community" won't help anything, unless you somehow manage to get thousands of extra kids to watch. Networks don't care how big the fan base is, especially a primarily adult fan base. Their main concern is how many people in the target demos are tuning in (K2-11, K6-11, possibly K9-14).

Not trying to be a downer, but TMNT already had extensive promotion and marketing, including a guerrilla style stunt (Turtles vs Foot). And it's doing fine, hence the 3rd season pickup and a daily slot on Nickelodeon.

and the answer

BUY THE TOYS!!!

buying the merchandise and watching the show, is pretty much our part

jeez
