Now I have reason to get up on time for my lectures (aside from, well, the lectures themselves).

Orochi Chimera · 02-16-2004, 01:49 PM

Damn. You are really lucky. I hope it comes back on in the US. Hopefully on a channel that won't edit the episodes. I really doubt it though.

That's cool. How lucky for you guys.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-16-2004, 02:35 PM

The Americans will always be luckier

They got ten years of TMNT, Britain only got FOUR, and two of them are Seasons 4 and Ten.

Orochi Chimera · 02-16-2004, 02:53 PM

On digital cable I have the BBC-A(America) channel but I doubt they will put on TMNT.

As for who is luckier I guess that depends on your point of view. Being able to watch and record TMNT episodes in higher quality in a format that doesn't degrade over time seems pretty lucky to me.

ZariusTwo:

Did you get four years or only four seasons of TMNT?

Also does the BBC broadcast in HD?

No, for some reason I remembered watching BBC on my tv once.

Oh we're not that lucky (time to stop lurking).

The BBC are showing the censored version (it took me awhile to find copies of uncensored versions to compare with and it all looks so pointless now), they're ratioing it like it's widescreen (I have no idea why they do that with CBBC to cartoons - it just means heads get cut off) and like has been meantioned they never got that far into the series.

All in all whilst the trip down nostalgia lane is welcome the benefit of advanced years and knonwledge make it somewhat more bittersweet.

Oh well, just as well GMTV 2 is showing TMNT 2003 every morning.

Four seasons, but we had a lot of re-runs of the Second and Third.

We never got the first season

I mean I know there's a better version out there and more episodes that I'm going to have to work at getting to see. Plus the fact they chop the top and bottom of the image off to make it faux-widescreen really annoys me - stupid BBC.

The original series is still worth watching

Sure is, but damn if the BBC doesn't try hard not making it so.
