Nick wants to buy OT from Fred Wolf Films!

~~Lieutenant Granitor~~ · 10-25-2009, 09:06 AM

You thought 2k3, new show, and even new movie was enough for Nick? Well I have evidence that they are about to buy OT from Fred Wolf! OMG this awesome! This can also mean return of Archie

Cowabunga! Turtle Power! Now they can show the OT on Nick

I honestly think it would be quite a high rated show.

And hopefully this may mean republishing the Archie TMNT Adventures as well.

Am I the only one with horrifying visions of episodes being edited with a meat cleaver and orange Nickelodeon goo super imposed on the title screen?

Nick used to air the original series in the UK in the early 1990s, I'm more than used to it.

*CyberCubed* · 10-25-2009, 10:44 AM

As long as this doesn't screw up the DVD releases of the original cartoon, I'm fine.

I'd still like to own the entire show on DVD.

If they were somehow down the line able to release the show in affordable season sets with GOOD video transfers (half the episodes look like they came from a bootlegged tape) with all the episodes that were "Missing" everything would be great. if they at least let Lionsgate continue to release the rest of the series, I'll be happy... if they wind up making kiddy 5 episode disks and nothing else (which they no doubt could stand to do) that will suck big time.

I think Nick will still allow LionsGate realease more TMNT DVDs! Only they will put giant Nick slime on DVD

And I see most people are positive about this! COWABANGA DUDES!

Well, the mentioning of the TMNT will be the network's first hard edge cartoon and franchise on their line up compared to their usually soft and sweet stuff, gives hope that TMNT won't be dumbed down.

It's funny. If they succeed, then they'll own more Ninja Turtle content than Laird and Mirage EVER did.

I do hope they buy it. It'll be nice to have ALL pieces of Turtle media finally housed under a single roof. And for God's sake maybe now new media will be able to use that ****ing theme song I love so much.

That is ironic. All that would be left would be the movies; which are under Warner Bros., right?

No, it WOULDN'T be their first hard edged show, because they've had them in the past.

Even then, goofy TMNT wouldn't be a bad thing.

*Icebot* · 10-25-2009, 03:49 PM

There's not that much of the show left to be released on DVD, just Season 9, the other half on Seaon 10, Planet of the Turtleoids and Once Upon A Time Machine.

It would be awesome to see the 1987 cartoon on the air again!

*Deathknight* · 10-25-2009, 05:03 PM

If Nickelodeon aired the old toon it would be edited for time, I'd rather it never be aired again than that. USA edited out enough when they re-aired episodes. With even more commercials than ever going into shows these days how butchered do you think these episodes will get. Season 1-4 (until CBS premiere) episodes were about 22 minutes with intro/credits. Season 4 and on were 23-24 minutes. Do you honestly think they'll leave that alone? Take a look at how Fox treats Seinfeld and older Simpson episodes these days. They've started edited Seinfeld for time and on the Simpsons they constantly cut off the ends of scenes to go to a commercial break. I mean come on, that's crap. As far as I'm concerned, I want Nickelodeon to have nothing to do with the old series. Who knows how it'll affect the DVD releases if they get their hands on it.

I believe it was mentioned Paramount and Nick are now in control of the movie franchise.

*Cipher* · 10-25-2009, 05:10 PM

They might as well get it. As someone else said, it'd at least be nice to have all the stuff under the same roof.

Pessimism... Gotta love it. >_<

Well, as much as I'd like to say it's a good thing think about Nickelodeon reputation for releasing shows on DVD. Not very many series get very good treatment. Right now, we have a mediocre company releasing the episodes but at least they're releasing them all with the exception of the skipped episodes. I don't think Nickelodeon will make it better, if anything it'll probably be worse. I mean honestly, what good could possibly come from this? And that video says it all Drtooth. Wtf, cutting the intro to 20 seconds?!
