Butch Hartman's shows

[Rynnec]

They have the license to the entire TMNT and Power Rangers franchises, and they still fail to utilize that to their advantage.

Then as far as I'm concerned, when SpongeBob fades away, their best chance from a marketing point of view is to take the TMNT brand and use it as well as they can for all it's worth.

wait what? i didnt know they owned tmnt. not sure how to feel about that.

Yep. No coincidence that the new TMNT is being made by sister company Paramount.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, it isn't a Dreamworks-like deal, they own TMNT lock, stock and barrel. Considering I can't tell if it'll stick around to usurp SpongeBob, but considering how long the other shows lasted, and that this one's doing pretty okay, I can see it at least make it to triple digits.

Power Rangers, meanwhile, is pretty much just a nostalgic franchise now. Don't expect any new series to keep butts in seats.

[Nel_Annette]

I'll be completely honest, as someone who only watches Nick for Avatar/Korra and the occasional classic Spongebob rerun, I thought FOP ended years ago.

[gunswordfist]

i also recently just found out fop still had new episodes.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, if you don't actively keep up with Nick, you probably don't know that FOP is still around. I'm surprised that I'm aware, myself.

But it's funny how by the era, the kids network's biggest shows and their deputies compliment their runs on the networks for the most part. SpongeBob and FOP; Rugrats and Arnold; Adventure Time and Regular Show.

[Commode]

I'm really surprised Nick so far hasn't reran either the 1987 or 2003 TMNT series, I thought for sure they would've.

[gunswordfist]

They could compliment so many shows with other shows but won't do it.

[Avaitor]

You'd think the 80's show would at least make it onto The 90's Are All That here or there or 2003 could air on Nicktoons, but yeah, Nick just isn't interested in them.

[gunswordfist]

Too obvious.

[Spark Of Spirit]

80s TMNT is obvious Nick at Nite bait, but they just don't seem to be interested.

I'm starting to think they've just given up.

[gunswordfist]

I don't know what to think. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

[Avaitor]

I mean, they even pulled out the original Mighty Morphin' for 90's Are All That. I know that TMNT started in the 80's, but it did run for even longer in the 90's and was still popular for the first handful of years into the decade.

Plus, it'd be a welcome change from the neverending stream of Rugrats and Arnold repeats that they air. Although we are getting pretty off-topic.
