Feedback from the show's core demographic
Does anybody happen to know any young children who this show was obviously geared towards? Don't get me wrong, I love watching my fellow hardcore Ninja Turtle fans nitpick over every little thing, but at the same time I'd really love to hear what some actual kids have to say about the series.

Most kids don't care about how deep and involved the story is. If it makes them laugh, then it's a great show in their eyes.

As long as a cartoon has a likeable main cast, good villains, ans if funny for kids, they should love it. |

My co-worker's 5-yr old boy watched the first two-parter ep of the new series, like several times she said. She got sooooo sick of it after a while, lol! Hope that helps.

Well if it counts for anything I was shopping the other day and this little girl, maybe 4 or 5 years old, got really excited when she saw me as I was wearing a TMNT shirt. Looked up at me, grinned wide, and said "Ninja turtles!". It's a start.

Looks that way. I went to our local Walmart, and the shelves were bare save for an April, Kraang, and the FX figures.

Judging by the Nick forums, they mostly seem to agree on the new show. Where I live buyers are a bit behind other places in terms of picking up toy fads, but I've noticed an uptick in merchandise sales in my area over the past couple weeks. See the "prejudice against TMNT fading" thread for more details.

My three-year-old nephew is absolutely loving it. Every time I've watched him since the show aired all he's wanted to do is watch Ninja Turtles. Also, not sure if this is indicative of the target audience enjoying the show, but the line is selling really well around here, and I don't believe there are enough adult fans around here to be doing all the buying, lol...

Once the show gets enough episodes airs they'll probably air it weekday afternoons...that will allow kids to see the episodes again and again too.
