Letter Campaign

I believe a main problem for 4Kids not continuing with Ninja Tribunal story and also for not airing Insane in Membrane is this: Those people who make up 4Kids just never got it thru their heads that this 2K3 series is totally seperated from the old show. Not only them, but Playmates too. My big question is this: Before this show premiered, Why was the channel-choice and scheduling of this show not more thought out. I mean, this show absolutely, positively without a doubt belonged on Toonami, or another definite primetime slot. Cartoon Network decided to air it on the lame and childish "Miguzi", and you know why? It's because both 4kids and C.N. see this show only for children, and not for what it trully is. Those TV networks, and Playmates, have continued to force this show to a childlike demographic that should not have been allowed. Peter Laird and the show's writers, Mirage, and whoever else played major roles in this show, should've Emphasized this exact point. They needed to sit down and have an in-depth discussion about how this show was to take form. If Peter Laird and the writers knew the show's direction, involving great continuety and deeper, maturer storylines, then why did this not get discussed further with 4Kids and Cartoon Network? They needed to emphasize that this new series is not the old show with pizza-loving, child-like turtles, with simple storylines. No, this new series is Totally Separate from that previous Incarnation. After this important discussion between the networks and Laird, then the decision could've been made as to which network would handle the show's schedule and direction. I'm sure if this kind of meeting(s) occurred, then TMNT would have premiered on Toomami on Friday or Saturday nights back in 2003. If the ratings stayed good, and C.N. was generous with the show, then we would now probably be watching the awesom "Ninja Tribunal" story as well as the rest of the "True Season 5". Toonami would've also aired "Insane in Membrane, as well as airing the episodes in prober order.
