But who knows how things will pan out, eh?

We still have plenty of episodes to go this season - and of course that other thing. So there is still plenty to look forward to.

Lord, I hope to high heaven that things pan out for the best.

Ditto.

Plenty of people have been on this production for years, and every time a season ends it's "Ok this is it... well... MAYBE 1 more." and here we are 7 seasons in.

Regardless of if the show ends I am absolutely sure the TMNT will continue on in one form or another (besides the comics).

Cool, perhaps like the S said fan reaction to this News will get the higher ups thinking and they will see how much people care.
I'd like at least one more season after this, but that's just me.

*Buslady* · 10-14-2008, 03:55 PM

honestly, i wont miss it. it hasn't been good since the tribunal, after that...feh!

I *do* hope they're wrong but ..whatever happens, happens.

TMNT's renaissance may just be coming to another end.

(but not with me!!!!)

If this show ends, like I said, I am done with 4Kids.

What else do they have that matters? Reruns of Sonic X? Sorry got all the DVD's. Chaotic? Just another TCG turned cartoon. Winx? Yea... Viva Pinata? My care for anything VP starts and ends with the games only.

This show has the legs to stick around for a very long time, and there are plenty of ideas thrown around here, I'm sure people wouldn't mind being borrowed.

HOWEVER! What if next season is called, "The End," and it simply refers to something that has to do with an end, but not the show itself?

I guess I am just hoping, but with the great balance season 8 has had so far, I would find it really crappy for it to end after 26 episodes (assuming season 9 is only 13.)

I really wanted this show to pass the old toon.

EDIT: Well it is a given TMNT4kids, that the show will go on, but sort of like Transformers does, it gets redundant. In every TF cartoon we're always reintroduced to another Optimus Prime and Megatron. Megatron always becomes Galvatron, and so on. The reason I don't want this show to end, is because if it ever comes back, we have to go through origins again, and the process repeats. Since you are on the staff, I hope you guys can keep saying, "well just 1 more," time and time again until there are no more stories to tell. If anything, bring on fresh writers.

Suspicion confirmed. It's something going down at Mirage. Otherwise, someone at 4K would be hip to it.

I'm sure you're higher ups will convince them otherwise, and we'll see something else eventually. I just hope that's the case.

That said, 7 seasons of 100+ episodes is totally unheard of. You're lucky to make it beyond 52 production cap episodes nowadays.

X,
TMNT : The End is a name I made up for my blog post, just so you know.

You DO realize Vaugh was being sarcastic with that title right? Yeesh...

And if MIRAGE are grinding the axe, that's ironic, but again, allows them to go out on their own terms

*Rooish* · 10-14-2008, 04:06 PM

Whatever. We've had an amazing run. And we have the DVD releases. This show has given us tons of great moments, and 1 billion percent better character development than the old toon. I'm just happy we got what we do have.

Don't worry, folks. They'll be back. And we do have the comics!

*Ninjinister* · 10-14-2008, 04:08 PM

While I'd be naive to think the 4Kids series would run forever (although I wish it could at least reach a heavyweight status of a few more seasons under its belt), I'd like to see it at least run through their anniversary. It seems ludicrous to promote the Hell out of the Turtles, only to cancel the TV series. It's doing all right in ratings (though it could be better), and heck, even Fast Forward is doing reasonably well.

Indeed we will, but don't forget Peter Laird said he's ending volume 4 and that Tales of the TMNt volume 2 is up in the air but will continue through 2009.

You've also made the news...

Archon_Turtle · 10-14-2008, 04:10 PM

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

All Lion King references aside. The turtles will go away for like 5 years, and then have a relaunch. As is the way with all things. Entertainment companies don't need to dream up new concepts when they can just release the same thing a few years later to a new wave of kids.

Noted Vaugn.

Anyhow Rooish, the thing about cartoons is, it doesn't cost me 4 bucks a month to keep in touch with my favorite brand.

Another thing that is crazy about getting into comics, is that someone like me who has never read any of the Mirage/Image comics, and only Archie, I wouldn't know what is going on since the continuity has been there for years and years.

That is why I don't read comics, and want this show to continue in cartoon form, as those comics have for many years.

TMNT4Kids, if you guys have no control over what is happening, try and convince Mirage otherwise. This show has been on the best cartoons ever, and one that many could easily get into for the subject matter at times. If someone can look at this show in the spirit of shows like Lost, Heroes, and others, in terms of storytelling and continuity, you've done something right.

I am proud the show has lasted this long, but it could still be so much more. Here's hoping the next season really isn't the last.

EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE - WAIT A MINUTE!!! Vaugn you made it sound as though there would be at least one more season. This blog is saying THIS SEASON, is the last... Which is it?

Can I just say I shouldn't have been surprised at all? The toy line looks like Kevorkian's on the call....

Oh well, there's always... uhhhh.... sleeping in I guess.

*Cure* · 10-14-2008, 04:41 PM

Well, this show sure had a good run, anyway. I'll be happy if they wrap everything up well and whatnot. I'd rather see it end then have it go on forever with crappy stories.

Leonardo19 · 10-14-2008, 04:49 PM

This is sad news but I hope Mirage will end up doing something like this next:

http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/...nel-sdcc-7512/

I think that the 25th Ann. of GI joe has been great. It didn't have a cartoon to support it but the new toy line is doing very well and continued on.

But for the TMNT 25th Ann. to have a great toyline Playmates would have to not be controlled by morons.

Just hopes.

*Eiko* · 10-14-2008, 04:57 PM

the Turtles will live on everything has to come to an end but i will always love the turtles Turtle Power for ever.

*Drtooth* · 10-14-2008, 05:16 PM

Still... a cancelled comic book, a cancelled cartoon series, and a Doomed toy line is much better than what the Inspector Gadget fans got for his 25th... a single disk DVD with 3 lousy episodes on it that was pulled.

It's a shame. I liked the cover that toated "Over a half hour of FUN!!!!"
