The typical action cartoon franchise production formula

I find it stupid that some people may only be tuning in for certain characters. What's the point?

Hey, if they killed off Raphael, I'd probably stop watching the show too. I don't think it makes anyone stupid, they just get that attached to a particular character, and if that character isn't on anymore, can't blame them for just losing interest and finding something else to watch. It happens.

Likewise. Or if Leo was really out of the picture for multiple episodes... I might still turn in, and I'm sure fans of other Turtles might be just fine with having him out of the way , but my enthusiasm would certainly be lower for the duration.

Some like them all equally, some have favorites. *shrug* Though I'd still quite miss any of the other three as well were it them.

I could see the fourth season having been greenlit because of the movie, but why the rest of the seasons?

I'm the same. I'd still tune in because the others would be around and I would be curious as to how they would cope over such a loss.
