1. Just go to Netflix.com and search "Next Mutation", no?
2. Beats me.

I can understand not liking it or not being your cup of tea not even giving it a chance is another.
The problem is Venus being in the show automatically makes it "shark jumping" no matter what happens in it.

A large reason why Next Mutation was ignored by fans for so many years was simply because Venus had to be brushed under a rug as if she never happened.

If Next Mutation was just a live-action TMNT show and Venus never existed, I think it would have been far more accepted in the fandom

She's far from the worst aspect of the show.

Right. You know what is? The sound effects. At least for me, that kills it.

For the record I love the show but that is my #1 qualm without a doubt.

The sound effects and the fact that every episode has the same God damn stock footage of them jumping in the Hummer and Raph rolling out on his bike (accompanied by totally idiotic exclamations).


And they could have used an extra couple thousand extra dollars towards the budget each episode lol.

i agree with you powder, i love the show as well, but as far as the sound effects, i would not mind them just NOT SO MANY. Other then that I wished there could have been at least a season 2.

Admittedly, the sound effects did always offend me more than the fact that the four main turtles were all reduced to hyperactive idiots.

Yes, you get rid of the sound effects and the show would improve so much. It's odd how something so irrelevant to the plot would improve a show so much. The only other problem TNM has is the villains were sometimes written way too slapsticky, to the point that they lose nearly all credibility. They aren't deal breakers and if you can get pass them it's a pretty decent show.

I was able to watch it with no problem on the 3DS. Haven't tried on the Wii yet. I haven't watched this show since the 90s either. Lots of corniness...but it's not all bad, and watchable.

An update on the Xbox 360 issues from earlier. They seemed to work themselves out. I turned on my Xbox and opened Netflix and there was the turtles sitting in my queue. Everything seems to be working for Xbox now.

Probably cuz it's only licensed in America. Maybe you can use proxies? I dunno how to get that working, but it unblocks restricted video content on other official sites.

Could the versions of NT:TNM on Netflix perhaps be foreign/international versions? I've read over at RangerBoard that some of the Power Rangers (and I think also Beetleborgs and VR Trooper) episodes on Netflix are the shorter international versions. And looking closely at the ending credits to the episodes of NT:TMN on Netflix, I noticed that the copyright is shared by a company called Shavick Entertainment, which is a Canadian production company that has collaborated in the past with Saban on shows like the New Addams Family and Los Luchadores. I went to their website and sent them an email asking them if they hold any rights to NT:TMN.

I kinda doubt it's an international version, but I suppose it's possible. Still, this news should get TMNT_Canadian pretty bent. XD
