How do you feel about 26 episodes confirmed for Season 1?

*CyberCubed* · 03-11-2011, 11:26 PM

The show has been officially greenlit for 26 episodes, which is most likely going to be Season 1. This is similar to the 4kids series which also had 26 episodes for Season 1.

If it continues with 26 episode seasons like this and goes on for 5-7 years, we'll have yet another TMNT show with over 150 episodes.

I'm glad we'll have another long lasting TMNT show to add to the list.

I feel fine about it. It's good, I guess. Why sooooo many threads? I know we have a new section to play with but it's like an orgy right now.

**Jester** · 03-11-2011, 11:33 PM

I for one hate it. I mean, really 26 episodes. There should be 150 episodes in the first season alone!

*gobo* · 03-11-2011, 11:59 PM

I just hope they can pull it off without having to resort to filler eps too often (in other words, more often than 2K3 did).

*CyberCubed* · 03-12-2011, 12:18 AM

There is no such thing as, "filler" in TMNT.

Not every story has to be about Shredder and the Foot Clan. Thank goodness we have them fighting normal criminals or other mutants and aliens in episodes.

Originally, I thought to myself, "What is there to think about it?"

Then, it came to me: 26 is good! 26 sounds like Nick trusts that what they're doing with the TMNT will do really well. I expected something more along the lines of 13, really.

Come on...Nano wasn't that bad....

And what about Garbage Man? It was good, right?

Ok, they kinda sucked.

Legend of Korra was given 12 episodes the first time that news came out. Now it's been expanded for 26.

TMNT will probably do the same.

*Chris* · 03-12-2011, 02:15 AM

I was expecting 13 so 26 is really good news.

*PizzaPower* · 03-12-2011, 02:30 AM

heck ya its really good but like i said before any tmnt news is good news.

Vivi · 03-12-2011, 04:08 AM

I feel........okay. Yeah, okay. 26 letters in the alphabet, 26 episodes in the turtles, I see there is a theme going on.

**Venom** · 03-12-2011, 09:53 AM

Will it be 26 30-minute episodes or 26 15-minute episodes?

I would prefer seeing 26 full-length eps but the norm in cartoons these days is to call 15 minutes an episode (I'm looking at you "Phineas and Ferb" and "Spongebob").

Toon · 03-12-2011, 10:14 AM

26 is a full-season pick-up. Getting 26 right out the gate is excellent.

*PizzaPower* · 03-12-2011, 10:32 AM

maybe we will get like 2 eps a show like the orginal, lol.

*Whitewolf89* · 03-12-2011, 11:07 AM

Speaking just for myself, I'm ecstatic about it! 26 eps right off the bat is excellent news to me!

Heh, looks like I'm going to be stocking up on DVDs soon to record them off on so I won't have to worry about waiting to do that in 2012, when the show finally hits the airwaves.

...What are you talking about? The show didn't consist of 2 15 minute shorts, they were 22 min. episodes.

I think he's confusing some of the OT eps with a couple of the eps from the second season of the SWAT Kats, when the production folks did two seperate eps in one 30-minute period. Can't remember the ones exactly at the moment, but H-B did that in the show's second season.

Unless he's thinking about when the OT ran for an hour, as part of the CBS Action Zone, with those ecology tip-things in between then?

That's all that I can think of that he's refering to.

I considered that being a possibility, but one never knows. I miss the action zone, haha!
