All good things must come to an end

I have been a fan of the TMNT since I was a kid. My son and I watch the new Nickelodeon version which is by far the best TMNT adaptation yet. The artwork is fantastic, the voice acting is great, and the wackiness is perfect.

Unfortunately, Nickelodeon killed the series and it only went on for five seasons. Strangely enough, they are starting a new series with a totally different style and direction. While my son and I will watch it, reluctantly, it is nothing like the current TMNT series in terms of looks and quality.

The original TMNT shows are dated and didn't hold up very well to my childhood memories, but the new series was an amazing reboot. Even my wife who has zero interest in anything remotely like this likes the show. That says a lot because she wants nothing to do with fantasy, gaming, or cartoons/anime. It was one of the best reboots I have ever seen.

I really don't understand why Nickelodeon would kill it in preference to what looks like a much lower budget show. As far as I have seen, the new TMNT series was doing really well. There is actually a Nickelodeon hotel that had taken the TMNT theme and it as one of the most popular themes they have had. We were planning on going back before my son gets too old but they moved it into the Carribean islands.

The new series is bound to be hella lot cheaper to produce, but I can't see getting all excited about it. We haven't started the fifth season of the show and looking forward to one last season before its all over.
