While $60million might be chump-change to a marketing giant like Viacom, I think it's pretty safe to say there's no way in shell that would ever happen.

And no, I'm not saying that we shouldn't voice our opinions but we shouldn't say that we flat out hate the way the series is going before we see more than just a few pics of the Turtles. The show is still in its early stages and I don't want them to think we hate the show so much that they scrap its production.

A. Nobody is going into any flame war. New to the internet are you?

B. We are not Nick's target audience. They would not give a rats ass if we hated it as long as kids like it.

O_O HEY! Thou shalt not use Sensei's hiney in vain!

A. New to forums yes

B. Yeah I guess you're right, kids will buy into pretty much anything.

(side note, my first post was a little dramatic, I apologize)

i really dont think it is fair say to that kids will buy into anything (everything), because lots of children's entertainment does fail... and we can hope that TMNT does not... it is always possible that the reverse of what Powder said could happen... they won't care if we LOVE it... if a young audience shows no interest then in the long run it isnt profitable...and unfortunately that would be the decision maker.

I like the detail put into them but I'm not a fan of the cartoonish look. Hopefully they look better once we see them in the actual city.

You really think that's true?
I'd like to think they want everyone as their target audience considering the fact they spent a good deal of money flying people who are not children out to their studios this past summer to get their opinion on the show they are working on.

[pihb]

I sure hope this show ends up awesome!!!!

[gobo]

I rather hope that it's horrible... just to assure me that what I've always believed about Nick, that they'll never have anything worth my time, can remain unchanged. [/end absurdism]

I still cant get over the feeling that this is the TMNT's last shimmer of life.

TMNT being in the hands of a big company like viacom/nick means one thing to me:

it is destined to go the way every other franchise has with a big company before it.

When it was peter/kevins baby, it thrived. even after the craze, peter took care of it, yeah it dissapeared off the mainstream for years and years, but it was always still around, SOMETHING was still going on.

with major companies, they create a product, milk it for all its worth, and once the kids loose interest it gets put into history and never get's touched again. How many cartoon's do you remember watching on nick/cartoon network as a kid? How many are still around today? the former outweighs the later so much i cant help but be worried.

The TMNT was treated in an interestingly unique way, that which not many have accomplished (To mind, gi joe and transformers are the only ones to compare)

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it'll become one of the "cult classics" series like avatar managed to do, but I cant help but feel we're going to watch it vanish within the next 5 years and NEVER come back =/

[marcelangelo]

well, I think that may be a little quick to say...also a tad bit negative outlook...okay, I may be optimistic about the tmnt boom comming, but it is rather unrealistic for any company in my oppinion to pay a huge amount of money like viacom did and then waste it in a matter of a few years...
look at what they are setting up here:a new(expensive) television series, a live action film, a new comic book on the shelves with extensive(hopefully...) reprinting program and a brand new toy line in production with secretly invited customer preview shows here and there...not to forget the WORLDWIDE distribution plan they officially set up....
so, in the worst case everything fails, the show isn't successfull, the toys don't sell and nobody goes to see the movies....even then they'd have the turtles exposed to the world at large and people will have had a chance to see the turtles in their strongest form, the comics!!
don't worry, compadre, it'll be great Im sure...

[TheCanadiandrome]

guys the show's not even launched yet for petesake! just wait it out and give it time and see how it goes. don't over analize sh*t so much, you'll drive yourselves nuts!

What complete and utter doom-saying horeses*it.

Most of Nick and CN's past shows all ended because the creators felt they had told all they could with them, not because the companies abandoned them. I also ought to point out also that most of the shows you're likely thinking about were CULT hits, not mainstream hits.

Cartoon Network tried making a brand out of The Powerpuff Girls, but the movie bombed. Nick took a gambit with Hey Arnold! in theatres, but the movie bombed

Danny Phantom, Dexter's Lab, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, all great shows...but they arent shows that translate into mainstream interest. That's why, other than a few tv movies and the nostalgic DVD set release, you never see them again. There not succesful brands, there niche shows

CN and Nick, you'll find, are VERY good at handling their globally succesful brands with care and precision. Look at the Last Airbender brand with the new spin-off "Legend of Korra" , not a bad haul for a show that lasted only three seasons. Look also at The Clone Wars, Power Rangers, Batman (be it Brave and the Bold or otherwise), and The Fairly Oddparents, all very succesful shows that get the right amount of promotion. All brands that certaingly won't be fading from the public's minds anytime soon, and shows that will rematerialize in some new form or another.

TMNT has proven, in mutliple formats, to be a very recognizible brand, so I doubt Nick will do just five years and pack it in like they do with their other niche shows. The 4Kids show lasted seven years despite the franchise not exactly lighting the world on fire in comics or theatres, the brand has an audience and it will command one again. It will be fine.

guys the show's not even launched yet for petesake! just wait it out and give it time and see how it goes. don't over analize sh*t so much, you'll drive yourselves nuts!

Don't worry, for every bit of petty manure these stupid. paranoid turds dish out, you can bet they'll be a voice of reality ready to slap them all the way across Sunday.

Oh for f$cks sake.

Debating this issue is ok, and both sides of the argument have the right to share their opinions, but let's please leave the insults out of it, everyone.
