Knowing that there are other TMNT fans around here, especially
Zob, remember that the old-school crossover "Turtles Forever" is
showing on CW Saturday morning. Check out 4kids.tv for promo clips.

I hope it shows up on BitTorrent because I don't get TV reception
anymore after the digital switchover occurred.

I was never a TMNT fan.

I saw a few episodes. I saw the 1st movie & thought it was horrid.

Oddly enough it's coming on here on Sunday morning.

...What's wrong with you? The first movie is a masterpiece.

A big major special like this? Involving something nerdly like the
Ninja Turtles? 'Created in 2009?' (That's the big one.) I wouldn't be
surprised if it's out 'now' as of one PM EST.

I had already seen the trailer but I was given to understand that it
was created as an April Fool's prank, and did not advertise any
existing crossover. Hmm. Thanks for setting me straight!

Just finished watching it and loved it. I really like all the nods to
the different incarnations of Turtles (Tokka and Rahzar for instance).

primustf - wonders what it would be like it they did the same thing with
Transformers?

Best. TMNT. Ever. (Toons and movies, anyway.)

>primustf - wonders what it would be like it they did the same thing with
>Transformers?

The fan club Universe comics and text stories have always had
a lot of potential in that area and have done some OK crossovers, but
they've yet to really go all-out with it. (But what would be left to
say if they did?)

next 3 weekends for those that missed it)

You live in Connecticut? If so, it's not that surprising. The Hartford
Archdiocese has held the 10-11am spot (7 days a week) since before Ch. 20
changed their call letters. This was long before they were a network
affiliate, much less aired Saturday Morning cartoons.

I managed to find one torrent this morning. It was indeed a great
special and I hope there is a DVD or Blu-Ray of it in the near future.

It is. I'm having trouble getting my usual suspects to give me a release
date, though.

No, Atlanta. The CW affiliate here shows the Saturday stuff on Sunday
for some reason.

That would be nice to hear when you find out. I know a lot of the TMNT
stuff is up in the air now that they've been sold. There was going to
be a TMNT Universe guidebook for example, but now that has been canceled.

Thanks for mentioning this. I checked it out online on Youtube (the last
part wasn't originally up when I started watching so I had to wait for
the poster to get it up there finally). Also, I couldn't find whoever
posted it now, but thanks also to the person who mentioned the old TMNT
reprints in TPB form--I hunted down a copy today and got it.

t.k.

Possibly me? I'm still looking for one, sadly.
