Chances for season 6 renewal?

[Coola Yagami]

Someone needs to learn that what they want is not equal to what everyone wants.

Yeah, the show needs new stuff or there will be nothing left for the next show in line to adapt from. Unless the next show pulls a complete 180 like the 80's did and make up it's own completely original thing.

I mean going from a comic about a ninja feud, dinosaur aliens and time travel... to a show about them working alongside a news reporter and stopping a ninja, a talking brain and 2 mutants from ruling the world with the Death Star on wheels. A huge departure. And before you nitpick, I know the 80's cartoon did eventually use time travel and dinosaurs, but that wasn't right away. The Turtles were already fighting the Triceratons by issue 6 or so.

For all we know, the next show might start from the ground up and have the TMNT try to save the world from a race of evil lizards or something.

This show already did it's 80's nostalgia mega-fest. We can no longer say it's been years since we've seen Bebop and Rocksteady. They've been all up on in our faces for the last 2 or so years now. There's really no room for more 80's stuff. After this show is done, this one will be the new '80's nostalgia trip'. The next show in line might be a whole new thing.

Coola, have you ever watched Futurama? In one episode when the main characters were talking about what to watch on TV, Fry says, "People think they want something new, but in reality they just want to watch the same thing over and over again."

And he, or rather the shows writers, were right. People watch TV to see the same things over and over.

And the point of that joke was that people were too dumb to appreciate originality or cleverness, not that formula is a good thing.

Sooner or later, seeing the same thing again and again will get boring.

Fred Wolf fans disagree, it seems.

That's because they only remember the first 5 episodes and playing with the toys. If they sat down and watched entire seasons, they'd probably be begging for something new too.
