Positive Thinking and Nickelodeon's Aquisition of the Turtles

[Seurat]

Okay, a lot of us are freaked out. Eastman and Laird no longer have anything to do with the turtles, and they've sent our heroes to Nickelodeon, a once-great network that many now feel panders to today's teeny-boppers and tweeny-boppers (I'm not sure if that last one's even a word, but I'm makin' it a word now). Many a Turtle fan feels like they're on a ship who's lost the captain and first mate.

But all may not be lost, folks! Let's hold on to hope (Or, for some of us, denial) and try to think positive! Here's some reasons that Nickelodeon's aquiring the Turtles might work out after all:

- For every bad show (*Cough*AsToldByGinger*Cough*), Nick's also done a good one (Like Fairly Oddparents or Danny Phantom)
- For every poorly-publicized show (*Cough*TeenageRobot*Coughagain*), Nick's also had a marketing victory (SpongeBob SquarePants, regardless of how many haters there are, has become a real icon. And I think the show's pretty good)
- Disney got Marvel, Cartoon Network (Through Warner Bros.) owns DC... someone big had to get the turtles! Speaking of which...
- ...better Nick than Disney (You've seen the shows that the Disney Channel's put on. Do we REALLY need the Turtles singing songs from High School Musical? Ugh... I think I nauseated myself...)
- Mikey already looks awesome in "Slime Green" and "Nick Logo Orange".
- The turtles are used to being slimed ( - "It wasn't slime! It was OOZE!")
