First Back to the Sewers commercial aired.

[Scandia]

I watched an episode of FF today (I have cable now!) and the BTTS commercial aired during the ending credits. I cannot wait till it begins. I hope I get every Saturday off from now on. Today I watched Step by Step, then went to Body Combat, and then watched FF. What a wonderful day so far!

*sighs* Guess I'll just have to keep trying then. I'll get to see it on the site eventually.

On another note, though, I FINALLY got to see it on TV during one of the Chaotic epsisodes, though I had to wait for it to run again to hear ALL the dialogue (and stuff) on it because CW once again went SILENT for a second or two during the FIRST one that I saw!

Is it just ME, and OUR TV-service provider, or does CW do that to EVERYONE, REGARDLESS of your provider?! WE have Dish Network; what do some of YOU guys have, and do YOURS do the same thing at times? The sound went out on MY CW4Kids channel (Ch. 17, out of Springfield, MO (local channel)) I don't know HOW many times this morning while I was watching BOTH Chaotic eps, AND today's FF one! Just for a few seconds, but it STILL bits! I just hope it quits this nonsense by September 13th, or I'M gonna be one VERY ticked l'il Mousey!!!

I still have yet to see the preview other than the non-audio version on youtube.

Everytime I go to the 4kids site I see the same 3 commercials. Kaotics, Dinosaur King, and Viva Pinata. I thought if I cleared my cache it would change but nope. Then I thought "Hey...maybe only members can see it?"....But alas nope... and I didn't even see it on tv when I tuned into TMNT this morning. Meh I know I'll hear it eventually.

As for the no-sound one...interesting....but as I said I wanna hear the audio so I know what Casey said.

Were you watching the CW? Since it's been decided that Fox only gets Turtle reruns from now on, I doubt they'd advertise a program on a competing network.

Well... it's not exactly a competing network now, since 4Kids does the CW Sat. morning block too.

[Scandia]

I saw the episode and the commercial on the CW this morning indeed.

I am just plain joyful that I have found the channel that will air BTTS this fall. And I hope that I can catch all the episodes. Translation- I do not want to work on Saturdays. I like my Body Combat classes too much.

[Raph's Girl]

Oh? So the commercials only airing on CW?? I'll have to remember that next time. I only tune into the CW to watch Smallville and since that's on hiatus for the summer I have no reason to even tune into that channel. At least not till Sept 2nd when 90210 premiers.

CW's dropping their cartoon block soon to just 1 show at 9am so I keep forgetting TMNT is on that channel.

Um.. and just when is this supposed to be? As the ads for this coming Fall Season have had at least 4 shows I've noticed as being on CW4Kids Sat. morning.

Eh I probably mis-interpreted an article on Spectacular Spider-Man. I dunno.. I don't even watch Sat Morning Cartoons these days. And I probably won't till the new season starts.

Before I read that the silence is a recurring problem for you, I thought to myself "Maybe 4Kids is streaming my Youtube version "

I'm glad I get the CW here, it's one of the few places in Canada that gets the channel it seems. I never got the WB but I did always get UPN, and luckily when they merged the CW ended up on the former UPN channel.

So anyway I saw the commerical and it looks lot like Fast Forward to me. Now to wait until it premieres.

Who is at fault for this? 4kids? Mirage?

The short answer is the Chaotic property is bringing in a lot more money than TMNT right now. Chaotic is 4Kids' big cash cow at the moment, since it's now the second-highest-selling TCG on the market. Hard to believe, I know, but true, with the way 4Kids keeps crowing about the series in their press releases and then keeps complaining that TMNT has "decreased revenues."

Chaotic is also getting a full 26-episode season while TMNT's getting 13. It does seem kind of unfair but it makes sense.

[X]

Yea pretty unfair in my eyes, but I could be acting out of bias.

I hate how people follow trends. You get one great TCG and everyone flocks to it, to try and make money.

I just have this feelings if it wasn't for TMNT on Fox, 4Kids wouldn't have survived on Fox. I have a feeling that TMNT helped them more then it hurt them, but again I could be acting out of bias.

I always promised myself, and those I've met in Hollywood who are interested in my scripts, that I will always try and be a trend breaker. I just cannot be a follower. Sure you have to stay within the genres set in the industry, but who says you cannot break the rules set within them?

If I make an animated show, it will not be another TCG cash cow, when there is so much more potential out there to create something new.

I do find it sad, that this new season of TMNT will only be 13 episodes, seeing as how the typical season of a show goes from September to May/June? If they space out 13 episodes over 8/9 months, then don't expect many new episodes that often. I do miss the 26 episode runs of TMNT, as it allowed for more arcs (which I hope make a comeback as well.)

If all else fails, and TMNT season 7 ends before years end, there's always Transformers Animated season 3 in the spring of 09 to tie me over until a season 8 comes along.

I still haven't seen this comercial air on tv! Oh well At least I can watch it on youtube.

[X]

Yea I keep seeing Chaotic, Viva Pinata, and Dinosaur King as my first three.

I would like to hear this commercial with sound.

Hmph, don't I WISH!

I even watched part of a LIVE-action event (a minor-league baseball game; the Springfield (MO) Cardinals (a minor-league farm-club for the St. Louis Cardinals)), thinking that it WOULDN'T happen during that, and I'll danged if it DIDN'T do it AGAIN! Right in the MIDDLE of on of the announcer's play-by-play, in fact! So I don't know IF it's just my LOCAL CW channel through Dish (the local 4KidsTV/FOX station that the TMNT eps (and all the OTHER shows) have been running did just fine, as do all of my OTHER fave channels), or WHAT the problem is!

Honestly, I'm SRSLY thinking of asking my sister if I can spend one weekend with her and her family (they live just a little way out of West Plains, in the country), just to see if it happens on THEIR satelitte service (THEY have DirectTV, as opposed to Dish, and my sis is ALWAYS asking WHY we don't switch. Sometimes I DO wonder about that........). IF it doesn't, I'm going to TRY to talk the REST of my crew into switching TO DirectTV. Er, ONCE I FINALLY get ALL of mine and my bro Bobby's STUFF recorded off of out Dish DVR, and deleted, that is!) We had DirectTV once before, and I absolutely LOVED it (my MOM didn't, due to crap that happened when we had it years again, in HER name), so I just hope that we can. (Heck, who knows? IF we wind up GETTING to do that, MAYBE we'd wind up getting a DVR with MORE hours on it (we only have like a 100 hours on the one we currently HAVE, and IT'S only a little over 3 HOURS of being TOTALLY filled UP!)! One can hope..............)

Anyway, sorry for the rambling mini-rant. I'm just MORE than a bit aggrevated with OUR local CW channel, that's all.

[Jon]

Maybe the set-up is the problem... as I have Cablevision cableboxes, and the station has seemed to be fine for me.
Though at times do have some minor instances of image trouble, etc. (on various channels) once in a while.

Hmmmm, THAT could be. I hadn't THOUGHT about that. Thankies for bringing that up, Jon.

The only PROBLEM with THAT scenario, though, is that it WAS professionally RE-connected (after we'd moved. I never actually WATCHED our CW channel til TMNT: FF started running on it AFTER we'd moved.), AND NONE of the OTHER channels that I regularly watch even DO that! And I'm talking about my REGULAR local channels (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, PBS; etc.) that I/we get through Dish, as much as all the OTHER (NON-LOCAL) CHANNELS (A&E, Discovery Channel, CN, CourtTV; etc.). So I don't know WHAT the deal is with that ONE LONE (local) channel.

Well, was just thinking, since it's a dish style (as you note). But mixed-up in my quick replying. I have Comcast... not Cablevision (that was our previous provider).

Hi!

I've seen the TMNT:BTTS commercial last Sunday on CW I didn't have a problem with the sound on my Satilite, which I find strange people are having sound difficultes on CW.

I'll write down, what the promo said I saw last Sunday. I hope this helps who haven't heard the commercial.

Micheangelo:"We're on our way home!"(In the portal)

Announcer: Back from the future. (word Back)

TMNT: "Aaaahhh!"(falling out of the portal everyone grunts when they hit the ground)

Announcer: Back in action. (word Back)
(Leo and Don fight that mystery guy we seen on Murph's blog way back ending with Leo punching the screen)

Announcer:And, back to where it all began. (A vehicle speeds by quick that looks a bit like the Turtle van)

(Mikey's and Raph's face are shown surprised showing Casey hugging all TMNT)

Casey: "Guys your back!"

(Michelangelo rides his skate board in full speed flipping over the couch Raph and Leo are moving, he neatly lands on his skate board doing more tricks)

Michelangelo: "Baby, I still got it, I'm busting mondo moves!"

(Shredder laugh is heard then various screens are shown of Shredder) Announcer:But their not the only ones back...

Shredder:"Fools, nothing can stop the Shredder!"

Announcer:Get back, with TMNT back to the sewer series premier this fall, on CW 4kids.

[Raph's Girl]

Finally saw BOTH BTTS ads. I say both cuz there's one that just focuses on Shredder and that's the one that aired over and over again...while the first one only aired after TMNT FF.

That definatly looks like the original series Turtle Van.
