Did Blodgett ever get a new job after being fired from Channel 6?
I don't think he ever appeared again after Season 2. Poor guy, he lived alone in his apartment taking care of his cat Mortimer and he loses his job when it's not his fault. If I remember right, Vernon fired him.
I feel so sorry for Blodgett. It must have been hard making a living in the late 80's. |

Yes, Vernon did fire him for sinking the news van. I think he ended up getting his job back at the end of the episode, however, he was told the cost of replacing the van is coming out of his paycheck.
He didn’t have any other appearances so I guess we’ll never know what happened to him. |

He never appeared again or even been mentioned. Who knows.
And more importantly, how come Vernon was the one to fire him? Vernon had enough power and authority in Channel 6 to fire anyone? He's just a newscaster. Clearly behind April in the pecking order. Yet, we never saw April firing anyone. |

Maybe Burne favored him to make decisions when he wasn't around. |

Vernon seemed to be a major ass kisser so I guess we shouldn't be surprised Burne favoured him a lot. In fact, Burne never seemed to like April much, even if she was the face of channel 6 and his best reporter. |

I love how Channel 6 seemed like a 10 story building and we only know less than 10 people who ever worked there.

I'm thinking part of Burne knows his two best are April and Vernon so he'll never ever truly fire them, or if he does hel probably call em right back the next time Shredder does something wacky. Dunno bout Irma though but I don't really remember too many instances of Irma pissing him off. I think the few times he yelled at her it was more like she happened to be there while April was getting yelled at so they're both getting yelled at.

April is much more competent than Vernon but doesn't kiss Burne's ass and sometimes goes against his orders. Maybe that's why he doesn't seem to value her as much.
Vernon seems to contribute to a more toxic environment however. He is very jealous of April and has tried to sabotage her before. |

Isn't a bigger question what happened to any of the Channel 6 characters after season 8? April is clearly working for a different news station in the last two seasons.

Sounds exciting, actually.

Is it just me or does Blodgett kinda look like Peter Laird?

Usually the journalists who go through exciting and stressful situations are those who cover warzones live. The Channel 6 crew would get into such situations by covering a lot of seemingly mundane stories.
April certainly has had an interesting career. She could write a book about it when she eventually retires. |

after getting fired, Blodgett probably went on to get a job at a comic book shop, it would've been interesting if he returned to work for shredder, but he's not like Baxter stockman so that would've been unlikely
