Somehow I don't think that was Laird's goal. But I do think he was aiming at the wrong audience. Kids apparently prefer teenage stereotypes and flashy stuff to evolving stoyrlines and character developement.

There is absolutely NO NEED to go back to the 'old cartoon, as that's time has passed. Laird was never trying to recapture that.

Thank goodness.

I agree I wanted to puke after watching this weeks episode. The begining alone made me want to turn it off and it only took me less then a minute to have that urge.

I don't care if kids are liking it or not, nor I care that adults like it or not (we all know the answer here). But EVERYONE is curious about this... cartoon. I'm pretty sure that alot of people, are just waking up to see FF.

Its new, its the total opposite of what we had, but still, we want to know what's the deal with it. So we watch and react afterwards...

BTW, Does anybody knows what are the ratings so far ? I can't seem to find them. Or are 4kids keeping them secret maybe ?...

But really, if they want to keep the audience in, they have to make things move faster.. after all, this is Fast Forward..

...

Oh and come on guys. Stop fighting like that, it will only raise tension between lovers and haters... Useless really.

I know I'm just kidding around. The new show has this
"Adults are bad kids rock" theme going on that's why I said that.

As for ratings I think those are once a month aren't they? And if so we have one more week.

Oh sorry, did I seemed too serious in my last post ? Because I wasn't

Yeah, it does have that feel to it. Well, they now have what they wanted, let see if its working out on those ratings.

It's kinda the same goofy silliness that you all like about the old show. *shrugs* who knows...maybe that is the only group of fans they think exist out there.

I'm a hard core classic toon fan and I do not like FF so far. In fact I think its a bit insulting that the classic toon is getting comapred to Fast Foward at all.

According to this:

http://www.cynopsis.com/content/view/723/53/

It scored at 0.7/4 which is not very good at all for a show premiere.

Infact the rerun the week before got 0.9 so... what does that tell you?

it kinda tells me that not many people with a nielson rating box are watching tmnt during the summer, if at all, which is kinda the main reason that most stations generally dont premiere shows during the summer time.

kids are usually outside playing then.

I have never met a kid who likes the turtles,2k3 or FF.I've asked kids 4 to 8 and there all like no I don't watch that.When FF starts airing the full season I'll see if I see any kids wearing some of the shirts.

*VaughnMichael* · 08-15-2006, 11:51 PM

it's funny I went to target tonight to see if they had anything new and sure enough they had sold out of all the fast forward toys except one mike and the guy was just bring out the deluxe figures...they also had one mutated don left so I grabbed that..I've seen him before but his box was messed up..
But the point of this is to say yea everything seems to be selling besides those dino turtles. So those thinking fast forawrd isnt gonna sell to kids..think again...it seems to be working allready.
Also when I was walking out there was a little boy wearing a 2k3 ninja turtles shirt..so yea kids dig them here in Cali.

The rerun rating shows an improvement, hopefully when Fast Forward premieres it will gain an audience.

Jeez, I thought that it would do a little better than that really.

As for the toys, they must be selling pretty well everywhere. Here, the pegs are empty. With not alot of figures remaining on them... Except of those dino ones.

yep same here no one likes those dinos...times are changing because they said "oh we're gonna make this dino line cause kids like dino's!" mmmhmm showed them didn't they!

*Spitfire* · 08-16-2006, 09:20 PM

You know, that's something I saw recently. Kids are not into dinosaurs anymore. Or atleast, the interest dropped down alot. I remember the vintage tmnt with dinos. Everybody wanted those, but today... Man, a little longer on the racks, and those dino toys are gonna be fossil toys.... LOL.

Come on Spielberg, the kids need another Jurassic Park...

well in all honesty with the old line the turtles had been cave turtles and looked pretty cool along with bebop and april also. The dinos may not have been that cool besides april and bebops of course..it would have been cool to see cave man shredder have like his outfit be made of stone...yep that's why I should be working at playmates...shesh I mean it's not that hard to think of cool ideas is it? lol
And yea I think a dino movie being out or anything related would have helped....it didn't help much that sports had been interupting TMNT at the time the 2 episodes with the guys and Savanti in the past aired on fox..

Just another reason this show failed..as well as the toy line...not much thought went into it on certain peoples ends.
