Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation - Now on Netflix!

[veemonjosh]

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but Next Mutation is now up on Netflix through Saban Brands.

I was honestly thinking the show would never see the light of day again.

[LeoNerdo]

Awesome! Soon as I'm done with classes in a couple of weeks I'll re-activate my account so I can watch it!

[Zachatello00]

No way! Sweet! Hopefully this will lead to a dvd release... here's hopin'!

[ToTheNines]

Full episodes?

Certified Turtlefied!

The team up with power rangers is also available on Netflix it's the episode "Shell Shocked" of Power Rangers in Space. And the episode before that one also includes a 3 minute scene at the end of Astronema hypnotizing the turtles IIRC.

Now that Saban has the show DVD releases are likely but first we'd see PR's DVD releases, but its very likely we'll at least get an itunes release or something. Especially when the new show debuts.

NTNM's ratings definately don't deserve reruns as first there were only 26 episodes and second it remains a footnoot in TMNT history. This is still a smart move to get some diehards, but I'll just keep watching the Youtube videos until a DVD (if it even sees the light of day) comes out.

Meanwhile, I'd say 2013 (or even late 2012) is a good time for PR to start releasing DVD's to commemerate the 20th anniversary of that show (along with ultraviolet digital for the tech-savvy). If there was any hope of NTNM coming out on DVD, not only would such PR DVD releases be successful, but also the Nick toon/movie has some success leading to anything Ninja Turtles being cool with the general public, as this promotion will likely only target the core fans as opposed to the casual fans.

Apparently Saban lost the rights to use the theme song and it's been replaced by a totally garbage song that wouldn't have made the cut for the Comin' out of Their Shells setlist.

Shame, I liked it in a so bad it's good, Saban did sell Saban Music Group months ago, though it seems like he kept ownership of all the PR stuff and even Beetleborgs/VRTroopers but maybe not TNM? The logo used there is also different. Oh well. What about the music in the show? If it's just the theme song maybe it was a separate contract, oh well. BTW the ratings of the show weren't that bad apparently from what I've been able to find.

It's neat seeing a higher quality picture of TNM though the lack of Venus is kind of sad.

I just watched East Meets West part 1, I think it's the regular music.

[Roseangelo]

Wow, really? And the episodes are the uncut ones? Is there a way to record the streaming video from Netflix? (I expect not...)

I don't think there is.

[AcidBurn30]

because everytime i go on there, you have to pay to rent the 80's and the 2003 and the movies to watch it..so for this one is it free or pay to rent?

[Powder]

I have all these eps on my cpu, and I've watched them recently, but still, HELL YEAH!
Hell yeah, due to the fact that I can watch 'em in decent quality. Who knows, maybe we'll get a DVD release?

It's for instant viewing. I don't know what kind of plan you have, but to stream would be $7.99 extra.

[gobo]

Now, I might atually be able to get through these. The edited-to-hell aspect pissed me off just as much as the show itself. Still, I hafta watch 'em all at least once.

I'd assume it all depends on what your set up is. Where there's a will there's a way.

This good news. May have to "give in" to my wife's idea to start a Netflix membership.

There's a pretty decent uncut quality version out there, and if the music change is true then that version may be the best "out there".

Yes there is, I don't know for a fact it's possible. Depending your internet connection also depends the quality of your stream FYE.

It's not the original music in the episode either?

hmm that sucks though now that I think about it I don't really remember memorable music from TNM and it may even be an improvement, still sucks though. I wonder if it's because Saban sold Saban Music Group, but Power Rangers, VR Troopers and Beetleborgs have kept their old soundtracks.

[CyberCubed]

If they removed the original music, did they also remove those stupid sound effects in the fight scenes?

We can only hope.

Nah, all the "honks", "dings", "flaps", and "farts" are still there.
