Because twenty-some people of a franchise's related forum? Demand that ain't. Other than this forum, I've seen a grand total of 3 people make a defiant urge for this show on blu-ray. I want to see on blu-ray also, but I'm not blind. There is no mass clamoring as everyone on here keeps saying.

Add about 999,980 more people to that number and then you can say "clear demand".

Until then, sorry. Nick will laugh at you until they turn blue in the face.

Saying it has no demand for it is beyond ignorant and foolish.
Other shows have it, clearly there's demand for it too based on the ratings. Different thing about tmnt, it has toys, dvd, comics and merchandise to go with it. Moreover, the blu Rays are compliment to them. Simple economy logic tbh.

Stick to your outdated dvds and don't mess people's hope for HD content. That's like saying, before the tmnt blu Rays came out, there's no demand for it. Ridiculous and utter rubbish.

Only thing I can think why no blu Ray atm because they needed the repeat viewing audience. If everyone has it on top quality, there's no reason to watch it again on TV, resulting their loss.

If we want to be so anal, rightfully it's not up to me or you or anyone else here to judge the demand level. It's up to Nick to do their own research. All we can do here is speculate.

But everyone who wants to have it on top quality is already able to do that! There are HD versions available digitally, not to mention selected episodes that are streamed in HD for free at the Nick website from time to time.

I'm still sticking with my theory that Blu-ray discs involve higher cost to produce (compared to DVD and digital HD streaming) and the TMNT franchise has to reach certain level of ROI before they can justify producing it. And since the selling price is going to be higher, they'd have to include extra features that also require more budget and time to prepare, therefore if it does happen it won't be so soon.

Nick website is absolutely terrible, the videos are so low quality and riddled with annoying commercials. I have to use Hola(?) as it doesn't cater to us, Evan.

HD versions? On iTunes you mean? I prefer peak performance, so no thank you.

That's like saying when you buy a new phone, your old phone would be bought for nothing. Doesn't make sense.

If the Blu-ray ever comes out one day and you buy it, you can always give the DVD to someone else. Besides, just in case the Blu-ray never comes out, at least you'd still have the DVD to keep.

Mmm. Yeah, you make a fair point. I just don't want to splurge so much on TMNT! If I'm gonna buy season 1, I only wanna do it once. (I was that person that was buying them on single discs when they first came out -_-) And now it feels like a waste. I know that when I buy season 1 then later blu-ray comes out I'm gonna have that feeling all over again. I do have nephews I could pass my old TMNT stuff to. But they aren't as big of fans as I am. I'm like what's wrong with you? This is one of the best cartoons on TV right now and you'd rather watch Spongebob! Get outta hereeee

I'll probably be buying the next version of AppleTV. I've got a few favorite episodes on iTunes, but I'd probably go ahead and buy them all, hit "Subscribe," and be done with it.
