Have you accepted the show probably won't continue after season 5?

I don't think so.

It was literally the first new TMNT cartoon and came out in the early 2000's when most of the original fans were adults. That being said if you look up the ratings for the 2k3 series when it aired, its basically barely any different than the Nick cartoon now.

(I don't know, is it even that big a deal among the TMNT fanbase? I'm a TMNT fan and, to be honest, I think it's easily the weakest cartoon installment to date; IMHO, there's nothing in it that it did better that the '80s or Nick cartoons.)

This is generally odd, since most people consider the 2k3 series to overall be the best written TMNT cartoon, at least until the last two seasons. I love the original cartoon and also enjoy the Nick cartoon quite a bit, but if we're talking overall writing/action/plots....2k3 has them all beat.

What makes you think its weak? Most of the big arcs were developed from Mirage plotlines and it had several new and well done concepts. The fillers could be hit or miss, but the bulk of it had great action and story arc.
