I'm disappointed that the attention the Turtles have been getting is fading again, but I figure the fans might as well enjoy what's out there. Too bad the Turtles just can't seem to get cemented the same way the Marvel and DC characters have been as far as popularity goes.

No I just meant for understanding that being negative isn't good.

Things might look bad for the TMNT right now, but we gotta at least keep a more positie outlook... IT's hard but we can't be in a doom and gloom mode all the time... cling to the good memories and share the love for the tmnt... Regarding the toon maybe it was time for it to take a breather...

Its an up and down process that most cartoon properties seem to go through. I know MOTU is the same way, but hey its something to look forward to in the future. If an animated show goes on too long it becomes stale anyway, and eventually loses interest from most. I am grateful for the the 2k3 series and movie, I was not expecting such a resurgence in popularity for the turtles but im glad it happened.

I wonder how The Simpsons has gone on for so long then.

That has to be the answer, no other explanation.

Is the popularity of the Simpsons still the same as the early years, or lower?

Simpsons will go on until Fox can no longer afford to pay the VA salaries.

As for TMNT, it's sad to see it dying for a second time. Everytime a "era of TMNT" ends I get really sad, but I know its inevitable.

Who knows, maybe by some miracle G.I. Joe Resolute will not only please aging fanboys but will also make fat money, encouraging the powers that be to produce a similarly edgy and badass take on the Turtles...

I guess the marketing industry isn't as persuasive as it once was. Competition gets fiercer one commercial at a time...*sigh.* A miracle just has to happen I guess!

Thats a pretty strong statement for people you don't even personally know. How about some respect towards another human?

I never take things like that personal. It's easy to understand that this person dislike the songs (me too, even if I dont use those words, and some Melanie Chisholm solo ballads are good).
