Makes you wonder if he's going to give us some version of Issue #44....You all know what I'm talking about.

Seriously, though, that's great that the show is going to last a solid 5+ seasons. I can't believe people really thought Nick was going to can it. If they let Spongebob go on for as long as it is, then why end something that not only brings in a lot of views, but sells tons of stuff along with it? I mean, have you guys BEEN to a Target lately? TMNT toys, party supplies, bedding, clothing, school supplies. It's the 80s-90s all over again! TMNT is for Nick like what Princesses are for Disney.

My only concern is that, hopefully, the writing will get a bit more solid. I think the writers sort of caved to Playmates wanting more diverse figurines to sell and that's why we got all those "Mutant of the Week" episodes that distracted us from the Kraang and Karai plotlines. And while North Hampton had some pretty great episodes, I think taking the Turtles through time and space will hopefully give us more story and less....toy commercials. (Then again, when will TMNT ever NOT sell toys).

Oh, it'll still be there to sell toys, but I do think the writing will be interesting to see what they can give us. I never liked "Turtles in Space" in the 2003 show as it just didn't appeal to me, but I have confidence in the Nick crew that they'll do a god job and keep me entertained with this.

Did we know during the other two TMNT cartoons there would be, for example, a sesaon 5 during season 3. All three original seasons of the 1987 cartoon were written like they could have end the series if no continuation deals had been in sight.

*Papenbrook* · 07-12-2015, 10:04 AM

Hopefully, this will be the last season. I don't want the show to drag on endlessly.

Well, word of Season 4 came right after the movie's success and was announced to be shown on CBS. By that point though, most knew that the show would have lasted at least three more seasons given that on major networks, Saturday Morning can have longer runs than on syndication (Smurfs, Muppet Babies, the various Scooby-Doo incarnations, the various Superfriends versions). That said, the announcement of the E/I implementations for 1997 was a pretty clear call about the shows cancellation if it at that point it had been declining for years.

For 4kids, it was generally around six months to a year prior to the announcement and the forum has been around long enough to document those seasons.

That said, this is a wonderful gift for all Nick TMNT fans to take proud of. I actually prefer 20 episode seasons since 26 leads to more filler, plus deeper into the run there is a greater library of episodes to reair that can draw even more fans. That said, depending on how Movie II plays out (look at what Jurassic World did; after Jurassic Park III was a flop, this was quite an achievement).

OK, so maybe people should be more careful before bashing everything new if they want more cartoons, seasons and movies...

Yeah, I can agree with this. The 4kids show was already kind of a bummer for me but when they went to space I was like hmmmmm. But I have more confidence in this version.

*CyberCubed* · 07-12-2015, 12:32 PM

4kids Triceraton arc was great and much improved over the Mirage version. I recall people complaining because it was a 5 parter and people were eager to get them back to Earth for some reason.

I don't know why but whenever the Turtles leave NYC everyone is always in a rush to see them get back.

Mugic · 07-13-2015, 09:35 AM

With a climax with the foot happening in season 3, and Turtles in Space, Lord Dregg, Dimension X, Humans vs Mutants and possibly even Nick Turtles meet the OT Turtles all happening in season 4, kinda makes you wonder what season 5 will have in store.

Having been watching them all recently myself, I have to agree. I loved this whole arc. I know not everyone will agree with this, but I have always seen TMNT as sci-fi anyway, and when they have been to space in the numerous incarnations, that's what alway has interested me the most. I mean, the ooze came from alien origins anyway, which sets the TMNT as being part alien/sci-fi related before we even get anywhere.

*ranger_scout* · 07-13-2015, 04:23 PM

I'm glad to hear this. Plus, fans can rest easy now.

*victory_angel* · 07-13-2015, 04:37 PM

I'm glad for the fifth season.

And as for more seasons...I feel that be it 5 seasons or 25 seasons. I think this incarnation of the series should go on as long as it needs to. And when it comes to an end, make it come to an end in a way that leaves most people satisfied. Tie up ends, wrap things up with certain plots and characters but still have the implication that their adventures continue, but their story as far as this incarnation is concerned is over.

Don't feel like you need to extend it for the sake of squeezing every drop Nick can get out of this. A good way to end this series for good is to have a Theatrical Film (Kind what MLP is doing) where the story is finalized. Or a made for TV film like Turtles Forever had been and have it shown in select theaters as a send off.

The show doesn't need to end until its no longer profitable. The TMNT lore is so deep it could go on for a decade.

If future seasons become as bad as season 3 was (easily the worst so far), then maybe it should have ended sooner than later.

Splinter the boss · 07-13-2015, 04:40 PM

I am glad they decide to have a fifth season. We will have more actions, more mutants, and more alien creatures to see. However I hope the series does not drag on too long, because if it does it might lose its purpose and fail to tell the story perfectly without too much distraction.
