Why do you think the series had such a hard time moving on from Shredder?

I remember way back in 2003 when the new show was first starting, Peter Laird promised fans Shredder wouldn't be defeated in every single episode like he was in the old toon, (which was true), but also that Shredder would eventually be finished off and they'd move on to new villains.

But...that never really happened. Ch'rell was the main villain for Seasons 1-3. Then we had Karai as Lady Shredder in Season 4. Then Demon Shredder in Season 5. Then Shredder in 1 ep of FF. Then Cyber Shredder in Season 7. Then Shredder in "Turtles Forever."

Shredder was the main villain of the 2k3 series, same with the original 80's cartoon. Do you think the 4kids writers felt like the show would lose interest in little kids if there wasn't a Shredder in the series?
