Avatar and Korra are completely different shows, and they started years apart from one another. I have no idea why anyone would count them as the same show.

Yeah, that'd be like calling the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation "Season 10 of Star Trek."

... Well there's really only been 2 TMNT cartoons before this one and the only live-action show never got past 26 episodes. If there is no season 6 this will still have had 124 episodes, that's actually pretty impressive.

Yeah, this is a great example. They're both still "Avatar", but they're two completely different stories. They just coexist in the same universe with different characters.

Shows in the same continuity aren't the same show. That's like saying all of Batman: TAS, Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League are the same show when they're 4 different series all sharing one universe.

Technically you can say every TMNT cartoon is in continuity with each other now due to all the crossovers even though they're 3 separate shows.

I don't want the show to be renewed for a sixth season.

I think it's pointless. The show is already suffering from seasonal rot. I just want the show to end already.

Didn't Ciro express interest about comprising seasons after season 5 with some of the IDW arcs? I mean, I can hardly believe it since this show can't do an arc outside of the main story to save its life, but it should be worth at least seeing what it's all about.

It should also be worth noting that once this show is cancelled, we shouldn't expect another TMNT series for a good 8 or 9 (or, more likely, more) years. As much as I believe the show's gone through seasonal rot as well, I don't think it's gotten bad enough that we should call for its cancellation quite yet, since our boys will be off the air for awhile once this one ends.

Ciro said he wanted to make at least 5 seasons, which we're getting, not that he didn't want it to go on past that.

As I said, I expect a 7 season run. Most likely it'll get another 2-season renewal after Season 5 and then that will probably be the end.

I hope the show gets renewed for an 8th season just for the look on your face.

Cyber has mentioned in the past that he wanted this show to go on for at least 10 seasons and get 200+ episodes(not EXACTLY what he's said but pretty close). I actually would like for it to make that much.

Now...I LOVE the original series, and no it's not just the nostalgia factor. But, the Nick show does arguably deserve more of a run than the '87 show.

Well when the Nick show first started it was very popular and I thought it would usher in a new wave of Turtlemania prompting a 10 season or 200 episode run....but now my expectations are in check.

I now expect a 7 season and 150 episode or so run. Which is still a very good, long and healthy run. The same as the 2k3 series got, 7 seasons, 156 episodes and a movie.

Only if you consider the crossovers to be canon to the original series. As I've said before, it would have to be the same creators, like how you mentioned the DC Animated Universe shows, in order for me to consider it to be canon.

Ciro said he wanted five seasons and he got them. I'll have to pull up the link again but he was content with five from the beginning and he got 'em.

He wanted to make at least 5 seasons. You think if Nick renews the show for Season 6 or beyond Ciro is going to say, "Well I'm done, I don't want to work on the show past Season 5." Of course not.

7 seasons, you all heard it here first.

I'm gonna go with Cubed on this one. Ciro said he'd be fine- completely satisfied- with 5 seasons. But, let's get real here, if this show is bringing in the money we KNOW it's bringing in, well...who would want to give that up?

I mean, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Sure the show could be better plot-wise, but that doesn't matter if you're shooting out toys and bringing in enough mohey to keep it alive- which this show us definitely thriving in merchandise It wouldn't make sense for them to stop now.

That's right, 7 seasons. Even if Ciro for some odd reason steps down, Brandon Auoman and the other writers would probably continue without him.

7 seasons, remember that, lucky number 7.

Be kinda funny if Ciro and Brandon were to both leave after season 5 but the series went on for another 3 years or so. I'd definitely like to do a comparison between this show and Smallville if that were to happen since that show's creators left prematurely.

Maybe the show will be revamped for its last 2 seasons. Similar to the original cartoon's "Red sky era" and Fast Forward/BTTS for the 2k3 series.

For some reason TMNT cartoons always go through radical changes in their final seasons. If it happens to the Nick cartoon as well I wouldn't be surprised.

You make a good point there. Only thing is this time around they're using CGI models, which don't change as drastically as 2-D animation did back in the day.
