I brought up your point somewhere else, and this is what someone replied with:

It was actually 2 years for Iron Man, not 3. Not to mention Iron Man is a show that is completely driven by CG, so I believe it takes longer for them to make that in terms of drawn animation (unless you want it to look like crap).

No different from He-man and She-Ra of yesteryear

What a crock of sh*t. I mean I get it, and we all saw it coming, but it sucks that a quality cartoon show can't hack it in today's market because its' action figure cousins don't move units during a recession. I didn't get to see it as it aired as often as I wanted, but I look forward to owning all the DVDs.

I really dug it, the last 10 years was great for remakes and only TMNT got a decent run. At least He-Man and Thundercats were consistently high quality during their respective short runs.

Aww man....

I will really miss this show....

It's stuff like this that makes you realize how lucky we were to see the 4kids TMNT series last 7 seasons and make 157 episodes. Can you imagine of the 2k3 show was another canceled reboot in only 26 episodes?

Thankfully the Nick show is bound to last 150+ episodes too simply by airing on Nickelodeon.

I don't see how it being on Nick guaranties anything. But this isn't about TMNT.

You think it is possible we might see the story continue as a comic? Do you think it would sell like that?

I'd love to see that happen.

[CyberCubed]

Didn't they make a Gargoyles comic that continued the show but failed too?

[ZariusTwo]

The Gargoyles situation was a little more complicated than that. Disney were just being their usual corporate pains in the ass, the same reason the awesome comics for Darkwing and Rescue Rangers closed up

[psych23232323]

Just thought I'd post that Toonami will show reruns of Thundercats next week at 02:30 am.

At least it'll be on tv for a bit.

[CyberCubed]

This is what happens when a company revives a property with little faith in it.

I'll say this again, its amazing us TMNT fans got it lucky twice when both 4kids and Nick tried to revive the series. No short-lived 26 episode canceled TMNT cartoons for our fandom!

Every TMNT cartoon lasts a bare minimum of 150 episodes and I expect the Nick show to do the same especially since its bound to be a big hit.

Oh, Disney...

At least poor Darkwing got a decent send-off in his title. The Rescue Rangers comic didn't end on a major cliff-hanger, but it would have been nice to see them have one more arc to give the series a little bit more satisfying conclusion.

Toy sales must always outweigh complex stories.

Season 1 Book 3 of Thundercats; figured there'd be more with it if it's possibly the last dvd release of the series. At least I got the Tookit episodes

So I have been reading on this show; apparently the official word is that the show is on hiatus. That no one is working on the show and Dan Norton confirmed that he's doing Beware of the Batman right now. So until CN or WB gives the official word, it's still on hiatus.

[CyberCubed]

When a show isn't greenlit for another season it's canceled.

Looks like Daniel Norton, the art director for the show, isn't too impressed with the Lego Chima franchise:

Um, I guess we don't have to worry about WB finishing ThunderCats. Seems that Lego has decided to go ahead with their version since WB couldn't work out a deal with them. Look at the Young Lion Prince Laval, no similarities there eh?! That's not a Thunder Tank is it? Hmmmm.... Whaaaatever.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Any news of a complete, if we could call it that, series DVD?
