TMNT renewed for Season 5

[CyberCubed]

There's a lot of material Nick TMNT can still cover, some of this is already confirmed for Season 4:

- Triceraton arc, hopefully we get to see the Turtles on the Triceraton homeworlds and in the tournament arena too.

- Lord Dregg arc

- Kraang Vs. Neutrinos war.

- Renet/Time travel. We need to see them in the prehistoric, ancient Japan, the future, etc.

- Bishop EPF arc where they hunt down mutants and try to imprison/experiment on them

- Some sort of tournament arc like the Battle Nexus or Stump Asteroid

- Archie material, like Malinga or Null

- Fast Forward villains reimagined

- Don trapped in a robot/cyborg body, Shredder being a mantle

etc.

I think there will be a a more 2003-inspired cartoon next time.

Yeah, that scene was in it. But did it go anywhere? Accomplish anything? Nope. Still as Square One), etc.

And now they are adding girlfriends for Mikey & Raph? Is that the 'creativity' for this show? "We Don't know what to do with these characters because we can't write them as well as we could or give them even a tiny amount of depth or creativity...so throw in a 'possible girlfriend' which will lead to nowhere like the whole leo/Karai and don/april/casey thing". Yippee.

Glad you loved it. Speaking for myself? No thanks.

I agree so much with everything you said. This is how I am feeling. I guess I am part of a minority here. I just watched the new DVD and I really didn't like much about any of the episodes, except the inclusion of Bebop and Rocksteady. I hope that the good things I loved about the first two seasons comes back soon. I have to add a few more things. I really hated how they treated Mikey. He should never be treated like a child of the family and therefore less talented than the others, ever. Seeing it again really just pisses me off and makes me feel so bad for him. After watching Mikey in the 2k3 series with all his flaws, he was still tough and capable. Whenever Nick Mikey really brings it, I totally love him so much more.

Season 3 has plenty of great episodes. Nobody will be complaining in the future when the hiatus' are all over and people are free to watch episodes over and over.

I'd say season 3 is about the same quality as season 2. This season has been really good since they returned to New York.

I don't hate season 3 at all and think it's just as good as the first two seasons. I'm stoked for season four because we're going to get even more action. And season three isn't even done yet, so there's definitely more stuff to explore.

I like season 3 just as much as the first two. I just wish they would release them all on Blu-ray.

I know I'm late to the game on this, SDCC really wiped me out, but I'm really glad this series got a fifth season greenlit! I'm really enjoying this series as a whole very much. By the time this series is all wrapped up it will be one of my favorite cartoons of all time I believe. And because of SDCC, season four sounds great by the way.

This is good news thank god I just hope the quality won't worsen. As I rewatched a few epsiodes of season 1 the show certainly has changed. But I don't wanna go off-topic... I'm so pumped I don't have to say goodbye for our green heroes for a long time. ^^

I like the part of season 3 starting with vision quest very much...
hope there is lots of shredder and foot stuff in the remainder of this season and looking forward to see the following two seasons!..now, that we are getting such intregral parts of tmnt lore with the triceratons, the fugitoid and renet I am excited to see where ciro and gang are taking this!
I have a feeling that they are just starting instead of slowly decreasing in quality as is the case with many successful tv shows...perhaps the openess to plan with a POSSIBLE season 4 and 5 has kept it even...

One way to remedy declining toy sales would be to actually stock basic (and presumably very popular) characters such as Casey Jones or a normal, human Karai, instead of Turtles as barbarians, Turtles as divers, Turtles in space suits, Turtles as circus clowns, Turtles as whales, Turtles as blueberry muffins, mix & match Little Pony birthday party snail shell Turtles......
Not to mention Mutant of the Week 1, Mutant of the Week 2, Mutant of the Week 467, etc., etc. etc.

This is amazing news.
