To syndicate or not to syndicate?

Pretty much speaks for itself.

How would all feel about a channel, such as Cartoon Network here in the US, to rerun the original series if it hasn't been done so already where you live?

Anything that would get the original cartoon back on the air is a plus in my book.

Heck, if anyone wants to run the old cartoons, I'm all for it. Who knows; with the new show coming out, maybe people would be more interested in viewing the old eps too.

It just occurred to me:

There are several TMNT episodes that will never again air on American TV.

In "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X," a pair of towers called the "Global Trade Center" is seen.

In "Enter The Fly," the World Trade Center is mentioned by name.

And there are plenty of other episodes where tall buildings in New York City get smashed.

Any mention of the World Trade Center is off-limits for entertainment on TV nowadays, it seems...I think that the New York City episode of the Simpsons has not been aired since 9/11/01. (Homer's car gets marooned in front of the twin towers.)

Damned shame, too. It's a hilarious episode.

Heh...its good to be back, NT!

Anyhow, I wonder what they'll do in the new show, since those types of what could be considered terrorist acts where somewhat frequent in the last cartoon due to Krang's plans for World Domination, if memory serves.

Hi Red!! Long time no see. Definitely good to have ya back!

I'd love it if the old toons would start airing again. Yeah, those eps speedracer mentioned may not get aired... But if Artisan decides to release them on DVD, then I'm sure we'll get them there.

Well the problem with reairing the cartoon is having to deal with stupid networks like Fox family and USA. USA heavily edited TMNT when they aired it. I don't know much about fox family except they edited out a lot of stuff in the megaman episodes, but at least they had the decency to edit the theme so they had to edit less of the show. I don't know if CN would edit them or not but I have no concern because I don't get CN anyway.
