Will the original cartoon ever show up on Hulu or Netflix? Any reason for a hold up?

It's all on iTunes and I think Amazon.

He clearly means on a streaming service not a place where you can buy them.

For an actual answer it just means FW or Lionsgate needs to license the show to those services which hasn't happened but I guess could happen anytime, I'm surprised it hasn't actually. Netflix had good relationship with Lionsgate for a while but that deal ended just last summer so who knows, not sure about Hulu. Both services are more concerned on newer shows but TMNT is an evergreen property and the OT has tons of nostalgia surrounding it which would generate buzz if it ever got there it's not like they're making any money off of DVD sales anymore either. I do think we'll eventually see it on Netflix.

If you'd ask about the new show or 2k3 then the answer is not likely since Viacom isn't very friendly with Netflix. But I'd love to see Viacom shows there. So far the only thing you can find are the movies from time to time and The Next Mutation. But if you want to stream the OT then check Youtube they usually have all the episodes, same thing for 2k3 and no one really bothers to take them down.
