You know.. They put GI Joe in a horrible time slot.. that upsets me worse than it should... I wish they'd do an 80s late night block on week days instead of Adult Swim.

Edge · 05-06-2003, 08:51 PM

a nightly 80's block would be kind of cool wonder if it would fly

**GK Punk** · 05-06-2003, 08:55 PM

it would be a cool experiment if nothing else... I mean they could play TMNT, Gi Joe, G1 Transformers, original MOTU etc stuff like that. I Mean, I watched GI Joe EVERYNIGHT when they had it on weeknights.

Edge · 05-06-2003, 09:01 PM

i watched gi joe too it be hard to get the rights to them though i can see motu seeing as how it's been reborn if you will same with transformers. out of all the 80's shows they could get those 2 for sure with gi joe

How is that a load of Crap? In order to air the show, they have to have the rights to it, which costs money. And certain Animations are really expensive.

I just don't believe them is what I'm saying, I think they just tried to use that as an excuse to not air the show. I'm suprised they still air G.I. Joe, too bad I don't get Cartoon Network or I would watch it.

That is the reason. Cartoon Network went after the rights to show the old Masters of the Universe cartoon also, and because it was owned by Hallmark they wanted way more then what would be profitible to pay to acquire the show to show. Same goes for anything that Hallmark owns the rights to, including the original TMNT series.

Hallmark owns the original TMNT series? I thought it was Wolf Studios (which I hear no longer exists)...

Ninja Tiptup · 05-07-2003, 09:50 AM

Yeah Wolf and Mirage on TMNT's TV rights and Artisan owns the video rights.

TMNT should be on Cartoon Network without a doubt, but getting rid of AS for it would be a terrible thing. It would cause horrible unrest. Instead they should have an 80's block before or after AS. I think TMNT should be on at 9:00 or 10:00 on the prime time schedule. I use to say it would be good for Toonami, but with the current Toonami I'd say no it wouldn't. The first five episodes could air as a special event to kill of G Gundam for a week, but other than that it would be better suited for outside of Toonami placement.

Splinter · 05-07-2003, 11:27 AM

Artisan only own the video rights, due to the fact the original TMNT cartoon series is currently owned by Hallmark. They gobbled it up when Wolf Studios went under. Artisan releases all of Hallmark's DVD properties.

The problem is would Cartoon Network edit TMNT if they aired it? Gi Joe they have no reason to edit because the episodes are very short but with TMNT that's not the case. Some of the episodes were over 22 minutes without the theme and credits, making the episode almost 24 minutes overall, I don't know if Cartoon Network would stand for that or not.

Splinter · 05-07-2003, 02:10 PM

Note also that Artisan owns the F.H.E. (Family Home Entertainment) label that released the TMNT episodes on VHS so many moons ago.

I was wondering if F.H.E fit into the situation.

Anyway I LOVE adult swim but an '80s block would ROCK on Boomerang!

Ninja Tiptup · 05-08-2003, 07:14 PM

On Boomerang? Awful idea man. Do you know how many people get that? Hardly any...

CN wouldn't cut TMNT. There is no reason to cut anything. Nothing too violent or controversial. They might cut the intro (which would be AWFUL since it's so wicked awsome), but other than that they would probably just air it with very few commercials. If they put it after Jackie Chan Adventures (very short episodes) it wouldn't be a problem at all. They might have to start the episode at a weird time like 8:56 or something, but it would work.
