Whys , and What will happen

ok i have 3 questions

1.Why did the old ninja turtles get cancled
2. Could the new ninja turtles get cancled
3. Are they going to re release the old ninja turtles videos in stores so you could buy like leondardo lightens up

so if you dont understand that heres an easier to understand version

Why did the old ninja turtles get cancled , and can the newer ninja turtles get cancled for the same reason as the old ones did , and are they going to re release the old ninja turtles videos!

1) As far as I'm concerned, the old show ended.

2) That depends on the ratings.

3) Possibly

1- They either got tired of making the series or the rating got low
2-The new show is so good, why cancel it?

3- The dvd is coming out next tuesday april 20/2004 and it's the first season dvd plus 5 extra episodes never before seen

1."That being said, CBS canceled the original TMNT cartoon due to FCC regulations stipulating that Saturday morning programming must contain educational material (apparently CBS felt that the Turtles weren't educational... alas). " official site

2.It could but they are making a lot of money because of it so it will probably be around for awhile.

No plans on this yet, but we are getting the first season (plus 4 'bonus' episodes from the 10th season) on DVD in a week. I'd imagine if sales are good that other seasons will get the DVD treatment.

In one of the original articles they mention that those episodes were seen in some markets.

"There's a slight discrepency there, too, because the bonus episodes, as we reported previously, actually have been seen in some markets (including, I'm told, all of New York City). So, while it's possible that these might not be "never-seen" by some of you, we can all still appreciate that we are getting this bonus content. "

But they seem to still be releasing it as "Include 4 Never-Seen Bonus Episodes".

Zarius should email the company and tell them to redo the packaging so it's '3 never-seen-before episodes' for him

Well hopefully they threw in two never before seen episodes at the last minute but I doubt it. I remember there was talk about 5 lost episodes or something like that. If they do exist I'd love to see them.
