Was TNM popular at all? I remember it being gone rather quickly. The toys were cool, but thats as far as my opinion of that series goes. I think Los Luchadores had a longer season than TNM.

Lasted 23 episodes...though weren't 2 clip shows?

I've heard it was scoring better ratings than PR: In Space...but don't quote me on that.

It was a standard 26 episode season, but yeah 2 eps were clip shows, one being the series finale no less.

The show was basically canceled for a number of reasons. Probably due to the costly production and the fact that the TMNT fandom was all but dead by 1997.

Either way if it continued, Pokemon would have absolutely destroyed it by 1998.

Yea it was the number one show in it's time slot and number one kids show. I heard like you said cyber it was expensive to produce and since fox dint own the rights to it they where not making the money the wanted to so they canned it.

I guess it's just that the peeps don't want to acknowledge its existence.

Maybe. I just watched a little bit of it on youtube. It's just a strange series. And it's strange with almost no balance. It looks like the movies, but the scripts are as ridiculous as the 87 series. I mean, there's a villain who's a mutant gorilla that resembles a gangster from the 1940's.

^lol yeah pretty much I think if they went for a more serious tone and not such a ridiculous tone I think it would have been a lot better. I dont mean rediculously serious, something like Avatar the Last Airbender.

That would have been...completly impossible on a Saban budget

'Nuff said.

Yeah, I didn't miss an actual appearance but they at least deserved a spot there.

So somehow being more serious effects the budget? I guess you never saw an episode of Power Rangers from Space-Wild Force.

Indeed, what made it really cheesy was the sound effects...which i'm sure cost next to nothing.

Yes I think we all did

Why not? They're as legal an iteration as any other. Just thinking "it was stupid" isn't really a reason not to give them a throwback in that scene.

*ToTheNines* · 01-29-2012, 05:38 AM

I don't know why people get all worked up about them not having a picture in the "multiverse scene". There was a handful of other TMNT depictions that didn't make it either.

Granted, the other missing ones were a bit more obscure than The Next Mutation, but still. You can either pretend they were there, just not on camera, or just lump them in with the Movie-verse.

Allow me to use your own logic against you:

So following that logic the same applies to "the next mutation" and it deserved a spot in the multiverse scene.
