https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tBwEyktS5dUPicrelated is kinda funny now, now that the original TMNT is going to be airing on the same channel as 2/3 of these.
>>147148300>Universal left Woody to decay>Dennis hasn't had anything for years now>Fred still survives... barely, mostly cause of his cereals and vitamins.
>>147148300They were playing fucking Mystery Incorporated the other day. That's the most recent third party show that MeTV's aired, right? I know they played Monk and Duck Dodgers but I didn't think they'd be playing 2010s stuff so soon.
>>147148376it’s more in a “weekend special” sorta vibe b’ye
>>147148300>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series): 10 seasons 193 episodes. >Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series): 7 seasons 155 episodes. >Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series): 5 seasons 124 episodes. >Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018 TV series): 2 seasons 39 episodes.
>>147148300Holy fuck that image makes me cringe to look at. Just the overwhelming entitled Boomer arrogance of it. It's like the /co/ equivalent of a man in a leisure suit.
>>147148300So Viacom is giving up on TMNT and letting it fall to syndication?
>>147148900Can't beat the cutest April >>147148915Pic related is worse IMO
>>147148300Fuck yeah. I already watch MeTV Toons more than CN now.
>>147148300I made the mistake of reading the comments on that video. Why the fuck do so many cartoon autist feel the need to name the production companies/original networks when the say "I hope they add (such and such cartoon)!" What is the point in that? Thanks for pointing out the Maya & Miguel cartoon you were talking about was "produced By Scholastic Entertainment & Aired On PBS From 2004 To 2007"... because I was going to fucking confuse it with another show called Maya & Miguel...
>>147148941Well, they're giving up on the all TMNT Pluto TV channel (Totally Turtles) and turning that into retro Nicktoons channel, so it seems like TMNT popularity is in a bit of a lull right now...
>>147148900Based
>>147148900>>147149020After Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and that shitty CGI movie I can't blame Viacom for giving up on TMNT
>>147148300>Woody has been forced to clean up his act and is now a super-nice and polite woodpecker instead of the chaotic nuisance he began as>Cartoon Dennis is such a non-menace that Bart Simpson was literally created out of protest against such a milquetoast bore of a character>Flintstones episodes are mostly from the later seasons with more kid-friendly gimmicks like The Great GazooThe Program Exchange was clearly made by soccer moms who didn't like the idea of their kids actually being entertained in cartoons.
>>147148300>Animated StripsAs in comic strips?
>>147148900ithink it’s safe to say rose was damned by its marketing:
>>147148347tbf dennis reruns came on tv much longer than TMNT'87 reruns
>>147148347Woody still airs on MeTV Toons, he also had another shitty CGI movie last year
>>147149253Motherfucker also had 195 shorts during the Golden Age of animation, that's more than Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse
>>147149282Too bad USA hates him.
>>147148915Like how Pokemon killed Western Animation.
>>147149043Rise of the Cringe
>>147148376>Duck DodgersThey played Duck Dodgers? That's not one I had expected. Thought that would be a bigger deal.
>>147148915Now make a version with Millennialcore characters like Korra, Steven Universe and Finn.
>>147149059>Woody has been forced to clean up his act and is now a super-nice and polite woodpecker instead of the chaotic nuisance he began asMost 40s and 30s characters were toned down over the years, kind of how Popeye wasn't allowed to smoke his pipe in the leaked storyboards for his cancelled Sony movie
>>147149043Was this when Rise got cancelled?
>>147149350Yeah, the staff went on to rant on Tumblr and Twitter after Nick cancelled the show
>>147149253How did he get that gun?
>>147149366God that's insufferable. I couldn't stand watching that show and seeing that they held themselves up so highly is something I can't say in surprised to see.
>>147149147It was damned by its retarded writers who kept insisting that they were saving their best material for later seasons, even as the ratings were at rock bottom during their first season.
>>147149321Millenialcore would be stuff like EEnE, Courage, and Invader Zim.
>>147149368He memes reality faster than bugs.He is a necessary devil.
>>147149284Less USA and more Universal Universal seriously fumbled the ball with their cartoon franchises
>>147148900Nice ass
>>147149043>Organic
>>147149253Having his shorts on MeTV is the single good thing they’ve done with him to promote him in decades, at least since the end of the 90s show. When Oswald was basically nonexistent as a Woody character for decades then becomes more prominently popular in the US than Woody when Disney acquires him just because they put him in a video game and little else, that shows you how badly handled Universal has done their mascot the last several decades
call me when they get the 80s alvin and the chipmunks or muppet babies
>>147149959>80s alvin and the chipmunksProbably too expensive for music licensing>muppet babiesThe head guy at MeTV Toons said Disney has pretty much said no to everything they've asked for. That, and OG Muppet Babies is probably too much of a licensing headache considering all the legal bullshit that came with it.
>>147150133>The head guy at MeTV Toons said Disney has pretty much said no to everything they've asked for.That doesn't surprise me. Still with more Disney stuff going public domain I wonder if they can air those 1928-1930s cartoons in one of those shows where they show an assortment of cartoons
>>147148300>>147148347This ad aged like yak milk
>>147150181>Still with more Disney stuff going public domain I wonder if they can air those 1928-1930s cartoons in one of those shows where they show an assortment of cartoonsThat's literally what he said. As of right now, the only way they're going to get Disney stuff on there is what's going into the public domain, and they're going to have a show like Cartoon Network's old Toon Heads that just vintage oddities and PD stuff.
>>147150203Oh good. It felt like an obvious workaround
>>147148915This was 1989 so I could see why they'd think Flintstones and Woody would last longer than the TMNT. Flintstones in particular was still having new specials in the 80s and 90s and their show was still being rerun at that pointWoody's show somehow kept getting revived each decade since the 50s and he has cartoons as far back as the 40sI would've thought whoever did this ad/approved it probably thought TMNT was gonna end up like Transformers, GI Joe, MOTU where they get two or three seasons... But Dennis the Menace only had two seasons of cartoons by the time of this ad. Were they just taking the comic strip's longevity into account instead?
>>147150133>The head guy at MeTV Toons said Disney has pretty much said no to everything they've asked for.thats a damn shame. its not like old reruns of talespin or bonkers are bringing eyeballs to their streaming service, and its not like metv is asking for exclusive rights. why turn down free money?
>>147149282That's probably because Woody was still getting theatrical shorts until the early 70s. I think the only other theatrical cartoon that lasted longer was Pink Panther.
>>147150528I guess Iger is all-in on streaming probably
>>147150528Disney does not like their stuff to stray away from home.
Why is he so excited to see reruns of a cartoon he's always had access to on the internet? All TMNT is good for these days is tying up/gagging April and crossing over with Ghostbusters.
>>147150518Technically, only the first three seasons of TMNT were syndicated and those stopped airing once Power Rangers became the new superheroes of the 90s, so they weren't entirely wrong about it being a fad that wouldn't last. They were just wrong in thinking musty old relics like those shows would last forever.
>>147150181The could air any Disney short from 1921 to 1929, which covers early Mickey, early Silly Symphonies, all of Oswald, all of Alice Comedies. This isn't enough content for a block just yet. Over the next half decade there will be more than enough content to make a full block.The issue then becomes:>How to advertise this without using Disney name or making it seem like Disney sponsored it, but otherwise kinda give people the hint it's a block of Disney shorts>Get past any silent agreement for media companies to not use each other's public domain content. Like yes, they can have a block of this, but Disney might then decide they are uploading Looney Tunes shorts on Disney+ and it'll start going from there
>>147150782metv isnt owned by warner-discovery, it's owned by the weigel broadcasting company disney has no way to get retribution on weigel seeing as disney doesnt license any content to weigel
>>147148958I've watched more of MeTV Toons in the past 7 months than I have CN in the past 20+ years.
>>147150782>>How to advertise this without using Disney name or making it seem like Disney sponsored it, but otherwise kinda give people the hint it's a block of Disney shortsThey already do have a show on MeTV that airs a random assortment of cartoons, they could just air it there without saying "THIS IS A DISNEY SHOW" or somethign like that
>>147150575Because linear television with decent variety > *
>>147148300>>147148915>Circuses Come And Circuses Go, But We Will Go On Forever>Over the past year, 28 Indie pilots have released, but only 3 are discussed on /co/. So it is not unusual to see short-term discussion for long-term passion projects. Which is why MeTV Toons features evergreen shows like Woody Woodpecker, The Flintstones, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All of which receive new installments to this day. So while the circus performs this season, will it be back for the next?>MeTV Toons (featuring Woody, Fred, and Leo)
>>147150621>Technically, only the first three seasons of TMNT were syndicated and those stopped airing once Power Rangers became the new superheroes of the 90s, so they weren't entirely wrong about it being a fad that wouldn't last.They stopped airing those but CBS still kept the cartoon going for longer than expected. I think it also helped that the TMNT had a really good first film so that kept the momentum going for a little longer.>They were just wrong in thinking musty old relics like those shows would last forever.I don't think it would've been that impossible to keep Woody and Flintstones going. Universal badly dropped the ball with their cartoon franchises and WB didn't know what to do with most of the H-B characters (except Scooby-Doo and a few) for a long time after they merged with Turner
>>147149304>Fail to notice the changing trands in children TV marker>Blame the series that did (and stubbornly refused to take a page off their book)Saturday morning toons deserved to die.
>>147148300Thread themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKickUISGSI
>>147151230Only difference is there is no massive company behind Circus, so unless a major corporation buys Glitch it will end and eventually fail to have staying power 30 years after it aired, just being known as a early show that hit big on YoutubeIt's pretty much going to be like Homestuck
>>1471489002003 Turtles got fucked by 4kids folding as a company.
>>147148915>Stupid corporate ad from 46 years ago>UGH FUCKING BOOMER ARROGANCEYour mind has been poisoned with generation war brain rot.
>>147148300Makes sense. All the Boomers are dead and dying so now they need to appeal to elderly Gen X so that they have someone to sell life insurance scams to.
>>147149282Popeye had every other character beat, he had 230 shorts.
>>147151389I was going to use Hazbin Hotel, but Demons Come And Go doesn't have a nice ring to it.
>>147151320you're kidding right
>>147148300A buddy of mine got this autographed by the original Turtle actors last summer. None of them had seen it before and had a good chuckle.
>>147151803Holy based
>>147148376>They were playing fucking Mystery Incorporated the other day. That's the most recent third party show that MeTV's aired, right? I know they played Monk and Duck Dodgers but I didn't think they'd be playing 2010s stuff so soon.I imagine it's a combination of "was included in the syndication package WBD gave them" and "it might be a relatively recent series but it's part of a classic franchise"notably they have yet to air anything made past the mid 90's that isn't part of a classic franchise, though that'll change whenever they get around to airing Xiaolin Showdown which we know is part of one of their WBD syndication packages since it was listed in one of the early announcements, though even that show is over 20 years old now and thus I'd argue more than fair game for MeTV Toons>>147151803cute
>>147148900Rise of the good riddance
>>147148300I'd say Woody Woodpecker is still more popular than TMNT overseas, Nick also owns Garfield now which is more popular than all these shows plus TMNT put together yet they're doing nothing with the IP
For me it's "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors", best 80s cartoon
>>147151803dang those last 3 responses were BRUTAL
>>147152016another turning point, a fork stuck in the road?
>>147151230>>147151569How about Twilight Of The Gods? "Nordic gods come and go but we will go on forever"
>>147149304>>147151320>>147151757I thought cable TV killed Saturday Morning Cartoons. Why bother when you have a Nickelodeon, CN or Disney Channel?

>>147148900Based >>147152182Based too
>>147152016>>147152983The CGI movie was shit, so after that and Rise Nick kind of gave up on the Turtles and now they just upload episodes of the 80s cartoon for free to Youtube

>>147148900>>147152182What is anyone's thoughts on the Comic Strip?www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwF-ZCyBsFE
>>147153806It was a movie that was rushed out of production after stalling for years. I don't think they locked in sequels and cartoons because they were so dead certain this was the winner, but because they had nothing else for the TMNT IP for the immediate future. They started everything too late and burned too many bridges. They've been floating ideas for another live action reboot movie ever since the Michael Bay movies stopped getting made and haven't gotten anywhere with that. If The Last Ronin didn't blow up the way it did, they would have been left with nothing and having to set up yet another reboot within the same period that they were still pretending that Mutant Mayhem was going to be a long-term entry for the turtles.
>>147148900People say the jumpsuit is stupid, I say I wouldn't want to walk around the sewers in my street clothes.That being said, wearing it outside the sewers is weird.
>>147149320Late late late saturday nights, yeah. ONLY saturday nights.
>>147153707You're a fucking delusional retard, holy hell. Western cartoons anally dominate-rape tranime into the fucking dirt and it's not even funny. Western cartoons simply moved their primary format from shows, to movies. And now you have "infantile junk" like Boss Baby, which has grossed more than any anime ever released in the history of animation, and that's just a typical monthly release from the West.The closest the East even remotely gets to achieving Western numbers is with Chinese animation like Ne Zha, and even with China's 1.4 BILLION people, they can't even fucking get enough asses in seats to beat the US domestically, let alone internationally. The closest Japan gets is when they out-source their world-wide successful properties like Super Mario Bros to the West, and only then do they achieve success, because Japan and the East in general, lets face it, are dogshit storytellers, who use a very awkward and stilted animation style that was developed out of a need to save money, as their primary art style for 95% of anime. You can have all the edgy 13-year-old-cool, violent, gory, sexy animation you like, but if it doesn't stand up to scrutiny in terms of telling a cogent story, and the majority of the animation is low framerate with mouthflaps, nobody fucking cares. That's why Pokemon, the largest grossing media empire ever, can't even achieve fucking Brother Bear numbers in theaters, BROTHER BEAR, a movie that despite doing well financially, grossing twice that of Pokemon the Movie, it was considered an embarrassing disappointment financially for Disney and signaled the end of 2D animation for them. That's how successful Western animation is. You have a movie that grossed more than 99% of all anime ever made, and it was still disappointing.The East really needs to get its shit together if it wants to compete, and dump the infantile sex appeal and preteen appeal to absurd levels of violence if it wants to look legitimate.
>>147150518>I would've thought whoever did this ad/approved it probably thought TMNT was gonna end up like Transformers, GI Joe, MOTUIt was most likely from purists who criticized toy based cartoons, even though they made money from merchandise. Like The Flintstones did?Also with GI Joe, the 90s were happening and the backlash against anything 80s was starting. The sarcastic, stoner, ironic, cynical Daria types.
>>147154525Careful the gaping butthurt that is your asshole is showing
>>147154549Nice cope post. Now post the highest grossing anime ever made so I can laugh at it.
>>147154525>The EastJapan. Just say Japan. China and the two Koreas ain't Japan.
>>147153898I was actually looking forward to watching this every week on cable, but then the channel it aired on died without even a warning. Of course, the only show I remember now is the Fish Silverhawks.

>>147149304This was true though. The channels got Jap shit for free or dirt cheap. And capitalism always wins. Anime was the new hotness so it was popular sure but it got spammed on every channel because it was basically fucking free.
>>147154749>this was true thoughThen why is Western animation still around?
>>147154793Because the Japs started charging? Also what is 'Western Animation'? You mean the shit Disney outsources to korean sweatshops?

>>147154815Japan outsources a lot of their heavy lifting to China, Vietnam, and South Korea. Naruto, DBS, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, and My Hero Academia all used outsourced animation. Studio Hibari has an animation branch in Vietnam for just such a reason.
>>147154830Some of these though you go further down the credits and all the menial shit is either korean or indian.>>147155119Supposedly, they're talking about having a streaming app, though with a different lineup. Least that's what the cordcutter guy on YT said.

>>147148300Slightly off-topic, but I'm glad Andre Black Nerd did the promo. Back in the day, TMNT 2012 kept moving timeslots, and the only way people knew a new episode is out is when Andre did an episode review.
>>147148300>Was shown on Nicktoons>has Roku channel>Has Pluto channel>DVD re-released.Nick really trying to make money off this like it's the syndication days.
>>147156471That's a good thing, I miss the days they had to make at least 65 episodes of a cartoon so they could syndicate it, now most shows only last 30 or less episodes unless they're a smash hit something similar happened to anime since in the 80s they had to at least make 40 to 50 episodes so they could make their money back with reruns, but nowadays they only do 12 or 13 episodes per season so they can sell them on streaming
>>147153898Show was ok but it was a warning sign that Rankin-Bass was fast approaching the twilight

>>147156581we have to go back.
>>147153898>>147156934Should the series in that show have crossed over? Like The Tigersharks meeting Karate Kat?
This thread has taken a turn. How did we go from the TMNT 1987 on MeTV to ponies to East vs West, to outsourcing to rock music? And fuck what Dee Snider says, he is one to talk since he has done what those other bands did, especially in 2016, overcompensating much?
>>147157849What he did in 2016 had good intentions
>>147156581>but nowadays they only do 12 or 13 episodes per season so they can sell them on streamingAnon that transition happened back in the 90s as a result of the anime industry cutting back on costs as Japan's economy started to flag. Most anime were 1 or 2 seasons long starting in that era, it predates streaming by two decades.
