4kids is clearly up to something with the Lost Season.

[Raph]

I haven't been reading everything, so maybe someone posted this before, but I found quite some Lost Season episodes on YouTube. Just look for Turtles Lost Season in the Search bar

(Sorry Krang, wasn't aware of it)

Alright, I've been saying before that the 2k3 series can be saved from Fast Forward. I still stand by that statement, though the looks of it continuing are slipping away fast.

It's no secret the 4kids is doing it's best to milk TMNT as much as they can before throwing it in the dirt and doing what ever they can to it to make it stink. This, in my opininon, is kind of like the "The Next Mutation", only without a female turtle (it's Cody this time) and it's not live action. 4kids KNOWS that Fast Forward isn't that good. It KNOWS that Fast Forward can never bring itself up to the standards that the 2k3 series has set. There for, they are trying to get the kids to eat up as much Fast Forward as possible before letting the Lost Season out. I mean, most kids probably don't know that there is a Lost Season out there. All they know is that there is a new show with turtles out, and they are in the future. No ifs or buts, they just accept it.

We already have had the DVD issue cleared up by our dear friend Murphy. It's because the company that publishs the DVDs (Magna Pacific) is an Australian company. Therefore, Australia and New Zealand are getting the Lost Season before America. I guess it's "payback", since America gets the series DVDs before Australia and New Zealand.

I think the only thing we can do is stop complaining about it. 4kids has been up to something ever since the mix up of the episodes on the DVDs. It was an early warning...

It's also a possibility that the Lost Season is being with held from the US because of the new movie. Here in Australia and New Zealand, the last I've heard of the release of the Lost Season, we were getting it before the release of the movie. When the US gets it, it's going to be AFTER the movie release. It's all to do with marketing. Well, all we can do is sit back and see what the future holds *sighs*

I personally don't mind TMNT:FF. The storyline is picking up, and with multiple arcs. Now the only way I WILL have a problem with FF is if they don't release TLS. My 4 year old son keeps asking me when he's going to get to see the Mystic Fury Turtles in a episode, I told him with the release of TLS. That was before 4Kids decided to act stupid. One thing to make me hella mad, is to dissapoint my 4 year old son. If 4Kids manages to do that, they should change their name to 4Business and get the hell outta dodge, because the 4Kids name is very hypocritical.

My sons favorite Turtle variants are the Mystic Turtles. Their is simply no excuse 4Kids.

That just plain sucks. I would be devistated if I was in you sons possition. That reminds me of when I first moved to live with my dad. I was 4, and a big fan of TMNT. One of my favorite movies is when I was 4 and me and my dad were leaving the park and he says "let's rent The Secret of the Ooze!" "What's that?" "It's the Ninja Turtles!"

I don't think 4kids understands that TMNT was meant to be dark and violent. Maybe they need to read the original comic books. And I don't think they understand that there are older audiences out there that appreciates the mature approach.

[Spike Spiegel]

Yes. If there ever is going to be series as cool as the comics, chances are it won't come from 4Kids. Maybe they should make one for HBO, Showtime, or another cool cable station that can handle that maturity.

Or maybe the TMNT should be in PrimeTime!!

Or Toonami??

Too bad Cartoon Network sucks so much right now.

cartoon network doesnt suck that bad right now, they got some good shows on [adultswim] although they also have some pretty gay ones like the squidbillies and 12 oz. mouse, but i guess other than that i don't watch it that much...there isn't much else option for channel, someone else mentioned the CW, but who knows, as long as there is some form of tmnt, it keeps this site/forums alive

[ZariusTwo]

Ppfft, 12 Oz Mouse has more brain cells than almost anything else on AS (with the exception of AQTF and Birdman, whenever there not absent)

(Plays "F off...to you, so take a hint" Guitar riff, simply the best thing that Network has EVER heard)

And the term "gay" went out years ago in the realm of common sense.

As for other series on CN worth a lick, there's Codename: Kids Next Door, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ben 10, not that bad of a list for a Network vastly becoming underrated again.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the main reason i even watch cartoon network, Family Guy (and birdman is pretty good, but not on very much) is also on there as well as Futurama, and how do u expect the term "gay" to be out, lol i'm in frickin Nebraska, give me a break.....and the reason i don't like 12 oz. mouse is because i can't stand the animation, it kinda freaks me out, not gonna lie, each to his own

Meh, fine. 12oz.Mouse just gets a bad rap for having that kind of deliberate animation, I can see why it puts people off.

Shark: Are you drunk?

Fritz: Not drunk enough!

do u think maybe the animation is why TMNT:FF isn't that great? lol ok ok, thats not it, but part of it....i'm just messin around guys, sorry to get off the topic of The Lost Season, carry on

speaking of....has anyone else seen the episodes(besides when it was on Demand or whatever its called) of TLS other than:

-Lap Of The Gods
-Legend Of The 5 Dragons
-More Worlds Than One
-Beginning Of The End
...and i know they have the next to last(?) episode on the internet but its in a foreign language, so i haven't really taken the time to watch it

[gobo]

Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle has been raving about a greek encode of "Enter the Dragons" Part One that he found.

EDIT: Oh, wait... You said that one... No more will be seen in English until the region 4 DVD comes out in March, I bet.

sorry for not specifying....but i started to watch that one, and it kinda frustrated me cuz it was in greek and it takes away from the feel of the show when they have different voices (personally), but i'm sure eventually i will break down and watch it anyways

haha dang u beat me to it i guess and edited it after i started doing my post

[gobo]

*gasp* DOUBLE-POSTER!! Kidding, yo. Or am I? O_o Y'know, cuz technically... Anyhow, I'm just gonna wait for the Aussie DVD. They'll be popping up on YouTube and etc. like crazy after that. I may even buy the thing if I can figure out how to unlock the region on my TV's player. March will be an expensive yet exciting month.

[Bircher]

First off, I'm new here. I came acoss this board and am so glad I did. It is so frustrating trying to find out stuff on those TMNT epidsodes anywhere on the net. Thanks for being here, and I look forward to participating on these boards

[mikey2007]

yeah, sorry for that double post at first, for some reason its not letting me edit my posts once i do them, as well as click on any of the tools/emoticons while composing the post, kinda frustrating

[Time Mistress]

I put my 2 cents in and wrote a nice, polite letter to 4Kids requesting the release of the Lost Season on DVD (for all the good it will do), but at least I've done what little I can to make my voice heard.

As for Fast Forward, I'm still watching, but more out of habit than anything else. The enthusiasm that used to wake me up on Saturday morning for the best show since Beast Wars is completely gone now. Now I just record TMNT and get around to watching it whenever. I have no plans to get the Fast Forward DVDs.

TMNT 2k3 was on during my college years. I would wake up early every Saturday so I could run down to the dorm's lounge to pop in a VHS tape to tape it. It was a weekly ritual. Pretty much did it all throughout college. When I get my TV card on my computer, it became pretty much my only thing I captured. (Besides stuff on VHS tapes through my VCR.) Now, I don't have that same urge to get up to watch it. FF's appeal to me is meh compared to the greatness that was 2k3. If 4kids plans to air the Lost Season here soon, that excitement will come back...but for only 12 weeks.

i agree with ya, ninja turtles (atleast the last couple of season before fastforward) were during my first couple years at college....and i would wake up every morning like i was a little kid again to watch cartoons on saturday morning, did this during highschool too, never missed a saturday except for days where i had track meets and so i had to tape them

but now that fast forward is on, i have no drive or want to wake up and watch them, i just watch them if i happen to be awake (or later down the road)....it's just not the same i just want to thank for kids for killing my joy

[Roseangelo]

You guys make me feel old. Next Mutation was on when I was in college, so I'd come home ('home' being a dorm room) from classes on Friday afternoon and do the tape routine.
