I'm pretty sure everything he listed in the first bracket are the literal definition of audio-visual cancer.

Thundercats was just another 80's revival that couldn't catch on with today's youth, just like the new He-Man and Biker Mice from Mars all failed.

I imagine that new Voltron show they're making won't make it beyond one season either.

Man we TMNT fans are lucky. We got two new cartoons, one that lasted for 157 episodes and the Nick show is practically guaranteed to be a success.

Sad but what can you do.

It's better to get actual confirmation anyway. CSI: NY was one show that was thought of as good as dead, but it's the one coming back for another season this fall, unlike CSI: Miami.

I'd rather get a final confirmation about it as well.

I would just hope others wouldn't give up so easily on it, rather than at least still try to get it to be renewed.

[CyberCubed]

Usually when networks don't say anything about a show continuing, its more or less dead.

We've seen this happen plenty of times in the past with other shows.

Shame, just like the newer He-Man I thought it was a great reimagining, and deserved more of a chance than it got. I didn't watch it enough as it aired, but I really liked what I saw. It took some chances with the source material and told a decent story. I plan on getting all of the DVDs.

I don't think CN was ever really behind the show, it almost seemed like something they did just because people were bugging them to. Both the new He-Man and Thundercats were technically superior to the originals in many ways, but somehow I didn't feel quite the same enthusiasm put into them as the originals had, even with the originals' limited budgets and animation. But I guess that comes with any remake.

I take it Thundercats are not on the loose, eh?

Somebody set Season Two Loose!



In other news, I recently bought most of the original series DVDs (original releases). I'm really enjoying the vintage show, even if it is a bit too formulaic for my tastes. Seriously, Lion-O lifting the Sword of Omens and going "T-Cats, Ho!" solves every problem on that show. Why doesn't he just do that move all the time?

One of these days, I need to get around to watching the new He-Man DVDs too. I never paid it much attention in the early 00s since TMNT2k3, Justice League, and DBZ were constantly showing on my TV.

He also tended to get outnumbered and outclassed a lot before hoisting the sword and calling for help, too. Although I'm pretty sure he could still take new "young" Lion-O in a fight.

Yeah, man, that cat-man was strong!

Although, I think his Claw Shield was a little weak. The updated model seen in the 2k11 show certainly has the advantage over the original on account of all its special gems.

The toy had a red claw, it wins by default.

That's right.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well what there is of Season 1 out is what i meant

[Hero]

It is a little sad this show has been abandoned somewhat.

Looks like the UK comic that started in March is no longer running either. Still the soundtrack due in October could be good.

[gobo]

O_O Soundtrack??

[GK Punk]

Check Amazon, Gobo. It's been up for a bit.

[Raph's Girl]

Ooh a soundtrack?! *checks* Niice... 2 CD set. Definatly will be getting this! Not gonna order it on Amazon tho. I'll just get it from Target the week it comes out so I can get it at the discounted price.

So how is the new show? I was so hyped for this but then it didn't blow people's minds away so it seemed to get lost in the shuffle among fan communities. I wonder why it failed it looked pretty decent.

I marathoned the original show last year and even if it hasn't aged perfectly it was pretty good for it's time, it had continuity and introduced a universe filled with possibilities that sadly the original show doesn't fully utilize, this was also the reason I was so hyped they were working with a universe filled with possibilities if it had actual good storytelling instead of it essentially being a superhero team show.

The new show was pretty good altho a bit angsty at times. Poor Lion-O just needs to stay away from females. He got his heart broke too many times in one season!

I just wish it could get renewed. Otherwise they're ending it on a cliffhanger of sorts. Gah.
