If they revived the old show...

[Sage Ninja]

personaly I don't we'll ever see a revival of the old show no matter how much us OT fans might want it and how much money it might get. Because for one thing I don't think Peter Laird would want to a revival of the old show to steal the thunder of the 2k3 series which is closer to his vision of his turtles. That would be like giveing your family company to your bastard child you had with exotic dancer instead of your legitimate child you had in proper wedlock.

However I have a question...a lot of people blame the fact that the TMNT franchise doesn't get any respect and is considered kiddy emtertainment because of the old toons benign setting. There for damning any edgier versions of the franchise to be taken seriously. But do you think that this could be solved if the powers that be where to revive the OT with a straight to dvd short mini series that is more mature and adult (while keeping the spirit and charm of the old series) could show that even the old series can be capable of more mature story lines and edgier charactersations that it could help make people as a whole see that TMNT can be an adult franchise as well? I mean since the OT paved the way for TMNT to be main stream with its kiddified setting, maybe it could also pave the way to show that the same medium that was popular as a kids cartoon can can be just as poplular and engaging for an 13 and over audiance, so that other more "mirage" faithful TMNT mediums wouldn't be sneered at by the general public for "trying to be more adult that its supposed too".

I mean I don't see why not. Since the cartoon is twenty years old and much of the fans back then are now adults and a majority of TMNT fans still love the OT cartoon, why not come back with a more adultish version of the OT for them to enjoy? I know I'd enjoy that.

Just a thought. What do every one else here think?
