Okay... here's something... let's say they were going to make a new season of TMNT. Now, following their model, the next season would have some action figure based plot line, the characters would further get Flanderized, the show would still be lighter and airier than it should be, and the fan base would complain about how terrible it is, and pretty much beg for it to be canceled and then whine when it is.

Now one of 2 things can happen. They'll use this as a strategic restructuring, trying to come up with a better concept for the current show in 2 years... or we'll have to wait 3-5 years for another relaunch. Now, that sounds much better than having the Turtles use the power of music to find the 7 crystal notes so they can free April from the silent dimension, or Teenage Mutant Firefightin' Turtles: Fightin' Fires in SPA-A-A-A-ACE!

Besides, 4kids will no doubt keep rerunning TMNT for the foreseeable future. it's one of their biggest hits, even in reruns. look how long they reran Sonic X, and it has less than half the episodes TMNT has.
