That's nonsense

It has a seemless animation style that makes it look like it's set in a "loose" future Evolution continuity without having to directly state that...and considering most people who have seen this ARE Evo fans, you really ought to watch who you catergorize.

Joining this thread late:

I am enjoying every bloody minute of the show. Great to see the lads back in the present day and continuing thier ongoing adventures. I think it is doing marvellous thus far, and the upcoming wedding is something to look forward to.

4Kids isn't the one thinking of canning the show. That's my theory. Remember, the rep was shocked about hearing the news/rumor...

Of course, I need confirmation about the turht, and I don't know when and if we'll ever get it.

Dan Berger said that another season of TMNT lies in the hands of 4kids, if that helps shed any light on the subject.

They would try to get it together. I can't even begin to extrapolate on my theory. i don't wanna start speculation until I hear more from someone else. I won't give any hints, but remember, there are three branches responsible for TMNT on TV. 4Kids is just one of them.

Bingo, and they say it's not worth it.

*ZariusTwo* · 11-03-2008, 04:31 PM

We saw how those three parties went through hell developing this season for television. We were there for "Superworld", "Overload", "Ultimate Ninja Turtles" etc. It makes sense that 4Kids don't want to go through more tug-of-war, especially since they have more than enough seasons to repeat.

If Laird wasnt increasingly stubborn, 4Kids cancelling this would seem an ideal oppertunity for Playmates' pitched reboot to take it's place and accomedate huge ratings and toy sales. Instead, the TMNT drought will begin again

Turtleman100 · 11-03-2008, 05:23 PM

I like it alot. All the episodes were great to me anyway.

*Drtooth* · 11-03-2008, 05:23 PM

I say the heck with trying to sell more toys, just have a brief 13 episode closer that ties up everything left for the 25th year THEN start talking about TMNT's hibernation. The ratings are doing well enough. And even if the toy line were an issue, it's not like they're even trying to make the toys like the show and visa versa at all.

I think TMNT is one of the few things that 4Kids got RIGHT. Their anime dubs weren't attracting the younger kids and just p**ing off the actual fans of the shows who just download them anyway after a while. They would love to keep TMNT as long as they can. But reruns May be the only thing that they've got.

I know 4Kids had so much success with Ultimate Muscle (it was a moderate ratings success in the first season) and Sonic X that they made deals with Toei and TMS respectively to make episodes specifically for the US market. Why, the second Season of Muscle didn't air in Japan for almost a year after we got it, and it was a bigger flop than the first 52 episodes in Japan (let's just say, they tried too hard to make it a kid's show in the spirit of the 1980's Kinnikuman but they just didn't have the same people behind it. All the while messing with concepts that were better in the manga version Plus they were p**ed that they recast half the older characters... especially King Muscle/KinnikuSuguru). I don't know about Sonic X though.

But the TMNT reruns seem to pull in decent rating, even with most of them on DVD.

*CyberCubed* · 11-03-2008, 05:51 PM

So is there nothing that can be done? The show has been definitely cancelled at this point?

No.

Nothing is definite. The current season hasn't even finished airing yet.

We just don't know if there will be another season or not.

Heh.......

Well 4Kids hasn't said they are cancelling the show, but the negative news about the show not returning outweighs the news of it getting a tenth season.

I will state that I love irony.

TMNT pulled better ratings then the just another card game turned cartoon (or vise versa,) and it has been one of their longest lasting shows this side of Pokemon.

If 4Kids did make that stupid call to can the show that has better ratings then a relatively newer show like Chaotic, then their boat deserves to sink.

Sorry, just being real. However this news is just as fresh to 4Kids as it is to us, in terms of ratings knowledge (give or take a few days.) Maybe they will use this knowledge and get to work on a 26 episode season 10, and keep their asses in NYC, but bring some characters back *cough* Bishop *cough*
