How is Back To Sewers Doing So Far?

U2WaTCHer · 09-30-2008, 05:17 PM

Just was curious and hoping for new season

Darth Shredder · 09-30-2008, 05:57 PM

The first two episodes were okay. The third, Something Wicked, was pretty good and one of the best episodes in quite a while. Best parts are definitely seeing Cyber Shredder brawling it out with the Turtles in cyberspace.

They have a lot of set-up going on, what with Cyber Shredder hinting that he has plans to go into the physical world, and the Turtles finding the scattered pieces of Splinter.

It has a lot of potential to be something cool as a season. I just hope they don't drop the ball like they did in the conclusion of season five. If that happens, I'm finished with the NT.

I think this person meant how is it doing in the ratings...

Tomoshibi Amatsu · 09-30-2008, 06:29 PM

I'd have to say it's going pretty good, but I sort of wish we had gotten that extra season of Fast Forward. I actually liked that season so I kinda wanted more of it.

Still back to the sewers is doing just as good in my book.

Who knows. The post title and original post are vague.

*ZariusTwo* · 09-30-2008, 07:27 PM

Laird recently admited that negotiations havent begun for a new season, and as far as he knows, BTTS is the final season until he's informed otherwise

X · 09-30-2008, 10:04 PM

Nice... So if TMNT ends, then it will not have survived shows such as Simpsons, Power Rangers, ER, Big Brother, Pokemon, as shows that have been on the air forever.

I hope Laird and 4kids gets something done. This series has told some really good stories, and not many cartoons do that. I would hate to see it end.

I am getting this vibe, that since Chaotic is doing so well that it deserved an animation bump, that 4kids doesn't need TMNT anymore, so us fans could be getting the shaft? Just a thought.

I hope we get many more seasons.

EDIT: I hope the 25 year celebration of the TMNT isn't ended with the words, "thanks for watching, shows not making us enough money, we're out of here. Take care."

CudleyCowlick · 10-01-2008, 12:19 AM

Well... not as bad as it could be.

But that's not necessarily saying much.

I'm enjoying it enough to tune in every week and honestly I'm just glad we still have TMNT cartoons 20 years after it first came on the air.

It's good to see the Turtles are still pulling in strong ratings. I was a bit worried about their move from Fox to CW. Making 1.4 ratings on Fox and 1.1 ratings on CW shows that maybe this move wasn't the best idea. =\

Looks like the Turtles still are making strong numbers compared to the other shows.

**GK Punk** · 10-01-2008, 03:43 AM

Im surprised Winx Club is still doing so well in reruns. maybe we will get that fourth season over here after all.

Off topic, yes but I don't care.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-01-2008, 07:37 AM

I hear ya, GK. I want the fourth season too. Also, IMO, I really like this new season so far. It has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see what else is in store.

NYShell · 10-01-2008, 07:56 AM

I'll say what I usually always say.... it's way to corny/kiddy (even though it is a morning kids cartoon)... I have to say that when the 2k3 series just started around the first season, it had a very good look, feel and tone... I don't see any future with this new show

... but I could be wrong...

*Drtooth* · 10-01-2008, 08:28 AM

The show is losing to old Sonic X reruns? INSULTED!!!!!!

That's almost as bad as Biker Mice losing to Suck Fu.

X · 10-01-2008, 09:07 AM

Well seeing the TMNT brand on FOX and CW pulling in good ratings, means they should keep it around.

I see FF is bringing in more viewers then BttS is, but maybe because people are used to watching TMNT on FOX.

I wish that was BttS on Fox, and maybe those viewers have no idea that a new season is on CW.

I gave too much thought last night to the fact my saturday morning cartoon days (even at the age of 30,) will be over soon, if TMNT doesn't get a 8th (9th technically,) season. If Transformers Animated doesn't do too well and it ends, I am done I guess, as no other cartoons offer good stories.

I guess what I am saying is, if TMNT is done, I am done watching CW, or FOX, or wherever the new season is playing.

I'll cross my fingers for a new season, but lairds pesimistic talk doesn't give us much hope. Goldfine gave me hope by stating the word "this season" in Toyfare, and the fact he didn't mention anything about there NOT being a 8th season.

*Ninjinister* · 10-01-2008, 09:08 AM

I blame the move to a new network, at least partially. As you can see, Fast Forward is doing very well.

X · 10-01-2008, 09:16 AM

Yeah... That would've been BttS doing that well had it been on fox.

I guess by all accounts, 1.1 and 1.2 is still good, but moving it could've hurt it a bit.

I just wouldn't like to see its demise taken out on us fans, who support it, based on potentially bad decision making.

I was looking forward to the 25th anniversary of the Turtles, thinking, "man this shows gonna keep on lasting with the new toys coming, new movie close to being signed, a new season on air, and a DTV movie being prepared."

Now when the 25th anniversary hits, I worry it may be the last we see of the TMNT on air. What a way to celebrate. Look, I'm being as pesimistic as Laird...

Yeah.. I'd say the switch is off to a bumpy start... then again, Will and Dewitt and Chaotic Reruns are a drag on the ratings....

But at least BTTS is doing okay... just not great. Considering that this will be their new home (thanks Wanrers and CBS!) I doubt their future will be too bright. Reruns are killing new shows in the ratings for no good reason...

*CyberCubed* · 10-01-2008, 10:03 AM

TMNT is one of 4kids highest rated shows next to Chaotic and even Yu-gi-oh/Viva Pinata.

I heard 4kids loses Spiderman after this year so apparently they don't have any major hits left that aren't already cancelled, (like Kirby and Sonic are)

TMNT should be around for awhile if it continues to pull in decent 1.1 and 1.4 level ratings.

Its not just because of the move its because of the newest fad Chaotic M'arrillion Invasion people watching it are staying on to watch Fast Forward. Why kids like it I have no idea probraly stealing TMNT's animation might have something to do with it.

I really do hope its not the last season it nowhere near what it used to be but its still somewhat enjoyable for the most part. Oh well at least I have Wolverine and the X-Men a more seriuse series and mature tone with a 26 episode run and an actual animation budget. Its pretty much what 2K3 used to be. Its pretty much been the only bright spot in a month of terrible animation news.
