Lucky bastards. I hope that the show comes to the US as well.

Cartoon Network is the US equivilant to Teletoon, so maybe they'll put out a "retro" channel

They already have Boomerang.

Well I'll make sure to record "Planet of the Turtleoids" and "Once upon a Time Machine" when they air on TV at the very least.

I wonder if this means a Season 10 DVD release is imminent. Most likely they would want to sell all the seasons on DVD before they air on TV for free.

I doubt this show's airing on a Canadian network has any bearing on its US home video release.

I never quite understood why one of the most successful cartoons of all-time went off airwaves in 1997 and never return at least in the United States. Is it x party holding the rights to the show or what gives? It sucked having to wait years to see those not on VHS and the few others I managed to tape.

Ah yes, Boomerang, the "retro" channel wehich airs fresh episodes of My Little Pony: FIM, Garfield and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated on a fairly daily basis (at least over here in the UK)

that's good

Is this the first time the original cartoon has ever aired on TV since the late 90's?

I know in some places it continued to air a bit longer than when it ended in the US.

Since USA dropped it, anyhow.

I believe the last time was USA's Cartoon Express until 96. Can anyone imagine that USA used to air cartoons in the mornings, anymore? Boy, times have changed. Why it never appeared somewhere else, like pre or post-Toonami Cartoon Network, I don't know.

Either way, this is why Canada has nice things. Good for them, though.

i know it hasn't aired up here in ages! since whenever it stopped airing up here sometime in the mid-late 90s any way

now we'll get it on Teletoon Retro, which is sweet!

now if only we could get Next Mutation to air on Netflix up here i'd get plenty of TMNT goodness til the new cartoon airs!

With the advent of digital cable do US cable companies offer Teletoon Retro?

[CyberCubed]

Wow. I guess this is where people should get high quality versions of Planet of the Turtleoids from.

I highly doubt it will get that far. With Teletoon Retro's record they will either play just the syndicated seasons or just from the first episode til partway through the third season.

Reminds me of the BBC's crude treatment of TMNT (aka TMHT), they only showed seasons two and three.

Or the last time they aired here (20 years ago!!) they skipped Turtle Tracks and once the out-of-order episodes came out, "Enter" The Shredder"!! I'm not sure what the deal was there.

I hear ya!! So far, out of the shows I've watched on there, only Thundercats and Batman TAS have made it far, and their seasons are 65 episodes. Only the first seasons though. So I'm hoping TMNT does well. Maybe it's a rights thing.
