Hey, how are the ratings of the Lost Season so far? - Page 3

*oldmanwinters* · 04-12-2008, 07:51 PM

I don't worry about people losing interest in TMNT as much as I worry that the networks will give up on Saturday morning cartoon blocks.

It's great that kids are interested in TMNT again it certainly did die off a bit in 2006 and Fast Forward didn't improve things. I'd say there's plenty of evidence by now that they should have produced the original 5th season rather than switch to Fast Forward but I'm just happy to see those episodes on TV and DVD period. Props to Peter Laird for making sure those got finished. The management should have had more faith in his vision.

Yeah, I was really steamed when they ditched TLS after the cliff hanger ending of season 4, but mabey they had planned on making them "lost episodes" as a gimmick.

No it didn't not one bit it's seriously the worst TMNT thing ever, kids hated it, the toys never sold, it never got an exclusive comic magazine in the UK and it never got the highest ratings on 4kids since the show started.

It's a pile of crap and nothing can ever beet the lost season in it's darkness factor it is the king of all TMNTdumb.

But seriously folks TMNT is TMNT no matter what shape or form it's in light, dark, brown or green they're the turtles, and instead of looking for reasons as to why one thing is better than the other how about being happy that there had been any new episodes and new stories at all.

Or, if you don't like it, you can just be like me and not watch it.

4kids bought out the CW block for 5 years. Season 7 is probably going to be airing on it in the Fall, so that takes up 1 full year.

After that, 4kids will own Saturday mornings for at least 4 more years, and if TMNT's ratings remain strong it could possibly be renewed for those 4 years as well.

I'm still holding out for the day the new show will have just as many episodes as the original. By my count, once Season 7 ends we'll have about 155 or so episodes of the new show. That would mean only a few more seasons to go for it to have a comparable episode count to the original series.

Amen, brother.

I would love to see this series actually net more episodes then the old toon.

As for the situation pertaining to any downfall of saturday morning cartoons... Could the show not air on Cartoon Network like it used to?

I'm sure there is some method for which the show could remain on the air in the event saturday morning cartoons cease to exist.

I'd use that as an indication that kids liked FF as well.

Hmmm, I guess I forgot that FF came out before the movie..weird...I didn't realize it was that long ago.

I can't believe the ratings are doing so well, thats awesome!

That's good news! I really hope for the best as well! I would have never thought the new toon would have lasted as long as it has and it looks like there are a bunch of folks with a lot invested in the property's future.

Or that but then you have really no right to complain about the show at all.

You still completely fail to realize FF was planned to happen after Season 5 anyways. If season 4 didn't get such bad ratings FF wouldn't have happened ahead of schedule. It's obvious kids were not digging 2K3 and just because a bunch of people well over the age demographic they were trying to reach did not enjoy FF does not make it a success. It obliviously did well when they were airing an hour of it every weekend.

I never said anything about complaining. I tend to spend my energy on stuff that I like when I can afford to do so.

As for complaining about the president, I don't really like that analogy; but that's a completely different story.

Yep FF debuted on July 29th 2006, about 8 months before TMNT hit America.

No no no no no I didn't mean you I mean those who do

And anyone who doesn't at least try to make a difference needs to shut it in my opinion.

Does anyone know how exactually Season four rated?

When looking at the numbers, bear in mind that TMNT is the only thing airing new episodes on there besides Dinosaur King (which goes into reruns next week) and Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Not that it changes it all that much as TMNT would be on top regardless, but the other shows are taking hits in the ratings because of reruns.

Anyway Chaotic was begun with a seven-year plan to begin with, so it will be running through all five years of 4Kids' CW block, and it's looking pretty certain that TMNT, which gets even higher ratings, will continue along with it. The new Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds series also starts in the fall so I'm guessing these three shows will form the base for the new block while the rest is filled out with some more minor shows.

I wouldn't go quite that far. This show is going to last a while yet, but there's no way it's going to last TWENTY YEARS.

To my knowledge it hovered got around 0.8 to 1.1. It was in the bottom half ratings-wise, beating out One Piece and G.I. Joe but losing out to Winx Club, Sonic X, Bratz, etc.

~~AquaParade~~ · 04-14-2008, 01:56 AM

Wow, how great is it that the tmnt have come back sine 2k3 and done this well, and have a chance to still be heading off into the future with high ratings and a ton more episodes. Never thought it was gonna do this good. I think people in general underestimate them sometimes, myself included. It will only be all the more sweeter when the show ends and we have a ton of dvd's...or blu ray's

to watch over and over again.

*R-iZZy* · 04-15-2008, 02:22 AM

That's pretty awesome that the ratings have stayed so strong. At this rate, the 2k3 Turtles should be able to outlive the original series' Turtles. And it's even better to know that TMNT is the cartoon to beat for broadcast morning cartoons.

Oh, and TLS >>>>>> FF.
