There were PLENTY of good kid friendly shows that frightened us into believing if we broke a promise, the old lady in the flat next door would eat our souls.

I did grow up reading the Goosebumps books, but didn't have any exposure to the tv adaptation. I do remember watching all of the Creepshow movies as a young'un though - and Cat's Eye. Australian tv wasn't very good with showing that kind of thing at the time, so I basically had to go with whatever I could find on VHS - or whatever was showing on tv at 2 in the morning.

Wow, I forgot about Bone Chillers! I used to like that show. I think I may have an ep taped somewhere back home.

I feel a nostalgic children's horror show-fest coming on... I'll check out some of the ones that y'all have mentioned that I haven't heard of. I do remember watching The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It and enjoying it.

Well, as I said, they did before, so I think they'll do it again as long as they're allowed to.

They never show blood though. And it's getting a bit... they're covered in bruises, scratches and mud, but they can't even have a nosebleed or cut lip.

When I saw the trailer of Leo smashing through the window... he hardly looked injured, at least from behind. If he's going to get his shell smashed in, I'd like a bit of the red stuff.

I KNOW the censors get iffy but mehhheheheheh. Kids see worse and hear worse.

Well, we didn't get that in any of the TMNT movies or cartoons. I think we saw hints of blood on some of the boy's arms in the 1990 movie, and that's it. In the new movie, I know we see the blood being drawn from Leo, Donny and Mikey from gigantic IV's, but Raph took one helluva beating, and I don't remember no blood.

It's just something we're going to have to be content with, we're simply are not going to be seeing the fellas bleed. It may mention it, but that's about as close as we are going to get.

Now, with the success of the movie, do you think Ciro fears he may get an email to start having the show mimic the movie's dynamic? (Facial features, overly big, swapping out Donny having the April crush to Mikey?)

[BubblyShell22]

I seriously hope not because if it goes the movie route, I'm out on this show. I'd rather this show be its own thing and the movie be separate.

[NinjaPug]

Same. If this show mimics any part of the PD movie then I'm out.

I hope Nick wouldn't do that.

[victory_angel]

Well maybe the part where Donnie is hanging off the side of a building by his bo-staff and then the Shredder or somebody stomping it hard enough to break it. Sending him falling to the street below, can simply be a three story building.

[Vicky82]

Can we be careful with movie spoilers please, some of us haven't seen it yet.

[CyberCubed]

People stop whining about the movie influencing the show, they're completely different products with different creative teams. Likewise Nick allowed IDW to spawn a complete new universe that differs greatly from the cartoon, so it shows they're fine with letting universes do their own thing.

Nick purposely made the Turtles look younger in the series, they're not going to magically change them into huge hulking monsters with nostrils.

Unless they took lots of steroids and got plastic surgery.

Of course they're gonna show the beatdown, but I doubt it will be as brutal as Leo's beatdown in the 2003 series. It's probably gonna be something like the Foot Ninja attack him, he beats them, and Shredder himself attacks Leo.

actually, in the trailer, leos shell is heavily scratched, smudge and he has bruises on his legs and his wrappings are messed up. (look at the sig above^)

i think theyll just use the turtle model they always use to show the turtles really injured

Blood is a tricky thing though. Blood is usually the standard of a show, movie, ect. going from PG to PG-13 *Even if it's not real*

It's clear they want to keep it parental friendly, and if that's the case, blood is a big no-no.

Does anyone know when new eps are supposed to start again? I'm getting antsy!

Nothing listed yet. All we know it they will be released sometime in September.

[CyberCubed]

This is why I hate the fact that Season 4 is only 20 episodes. If you think the breaks are bad now when we have 26 episode seasons....I can't bear the thought how Season 4 will be aired.

I bet Season 4 will air 4 episodes at a time and take like 2 month breaks or something. Goddamn.

Yeah this.

I'm quite laidback about spoilers for the most part, I have a vague idea of the plot line from the trailers and official preview clips but people are starting to go more into the finer details and the film's not even been out a full week yet.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU if that's a spoiler in your sig which I suspect it is, please could you remove it. Not everyone on this forum is from 'Murica.

Vicky, at least we're not in Japan - they don't get it til December

[NinjaPug]

Looks like we've got a return date (and a 1 hr episode) via Zap2It listings:

S02, E23 The Invasion
S02, E24 The Invasion
