Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 4 Returns in February

by Justin W
written by Justin W

When it comes to how they schedule their television shows, sometimes it can be nearly impossible to figure out Nickelodeon’s line of reasoning. For some reason, they keep splitting up the seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and taking multiple season breaks. They never really explain why they are taking these breaks, but I’m sure there’s some method behind the madness. Without fail, they always come back within a few months to let the fans know when they can expect to see the next episode of TMNT. This time around, they have officially announced that our heroes in a half shell will be returning to finish off the fourth season on February 5th.

In a fun little tweet the other day, Nickelodeon’s TMNT Twitter account broke the news that we would see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return to television in just three weeks. The tweet featured Seth Green (Leonardo) Rob Paulsen (Donatello) Sean Astin (Raphael) and Greg Cipes (Michelangelo) yelling “Cowabunga!”to all of their fans on Twitter. It’s always nice to see this group together, because they don’t always make a lot of appearances outside of the studio. Most of them have other gigs to worry about, but they all love being turtles!



The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return with the 23rd episode of the 4th season. According to IMDb, the episode is entitled Tokka vs. The World, and promises to be a lot of fun for fans of the series. The 24th episode will air the week after on February 12th, and the following weeks will likely bring the final two episodes of the series. Expect Season 5 to start sometime this spring – potentially right after season 4 finishes up.

Unfortunately, we still have yet to receive confirmation about whether or not the fifth season will be the final appearance of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Nickelodeon. It’s still a very real possibility, but something tells me that this would disappoint a lot of fans. As usual, we’ll probably have to wait and see what happens in the future and hope for the best.

Are you excited to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return to finish off season four in February? Will you be watching the final four episodes of the season? Share your thoughts and plans either in the comments below or on Facebook/Twitter.

Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Returning This Weekend

written by Justin W

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally made it past the mid-season break for the fourth season of Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Starting this Sunday at 9 AM, the popular animated series will be returning to Nick’s weekly lineup with only 7 episodes left to complete the current season. Although we don’t know when they will start airing the fifth season, we can confirm that the fifth season is in production, so it probably won’t take too long. That being said, the excitement we have to look forward to in the next few episodes is more than enough to keep fans tuned in until the end of 2016.

With Super Shredder making his first full appearance in the very next episode, we can probably expect him to be a significant plot point in the coming weeks. How important is his introduction? Well, if the following trailer from Nickelodeon is any indication, he’s going to be a pretty big deal! To be honest, this might be one of the most impressive trailers I’ve ever seen for Nick’s TMNT series, and it definitely has me pumped for the end of season 4.

I’m sure there are a lot of fans who will be happy to see this series return to television once again, so it’s crucial to make sure that everyone knows when the first episode will air. This is especially important considering that episodes 20-26 will air an hour earlier than previous episodes. If you’re used to waking up just before 10 AM on Sundays to catch the next episode of TMNT, you’ll have to adjust your sleep schedule just a bit to make sure that you don’t miss anything.

Here’s hoping that the next few episodes prove to be worth the wait!

What do you think about the trailer? Are you ready to wake up earlier than usual for the last few episodes of season 4? Do you think the turtles will be able to beat Super Shredder? Share your thoughts and opinions on Nickelodeon’s TMNT either in the comments below or via facebook/twitter.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Earth’s Last Stand DVD Coming Soon

by Justin W
written by Justin W

It’s been a while since we heard any news about a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DVD release from Nickelodeon. As a matter of fact, it’s been so long that I’ve actually had fans asking whether or not they would be producing any more physical releases of the show. I’m happy to announce that Nick just revealed their plans for the second volume of season four. The set will be called “Earth’s Last Stand,” indicating that it will include at least the last few episodes from the first half of the season.

Unfortunately, we don’t yet have any details about which episodes this set will include. The last release included the first 12 episodes of season four, so it stands to reason that this volume will include at least a handful of the episodes that follow. That being said, although this season hasn’t yet concluded, it’s worth noting that there will be a total of 26 episodes. If 12 episodes have already been released on their Beyond the Known Universe DVD, how many episodes will they be putting on Earth’s Last Stand?

There are a total of 14 episodes left in the season, so it is possible that Nickelodeon will put every single episode on this set. That being said, I highly doubt that they will take this approach – it’s far more likely that they will put 6-8 episodes on this disc. We won’t know for sure until they reveal more details about this release. As it is, you can expect to see Earth’s Last Stand hitting store shelves on December 13th. This is perfect timing for the holiday shoppers, and it gives Nick a few more months to reveal their plans.

UPDATE: As we expected, the official press release from Nickelodeon has revealed that there will be a total of 7 episodes on the 2nd volume of season four. Here is the text from the press release:

“Created by Nickelodeon and distributed by Paramount Home Media Distribution, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Earth’s Last Stand will be available on DVD, along with a Raphael zipper pull as a gift with purchase while supplies last, on December 13, 2016, for the suggested retail price of $14.99.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Earth’s Last Stand contains the following episodes:

  1. The Ever-Burning Fire – The team must overcome impossible odds to acquire the final Black Hole Generator piece.
  2. Earth’s Last Stand – As the team finally reaches Earth, Fugitoid reveals a horrible secret about his past.
  3. City at War – When April graduates to full Kunoichi, she faces a deadly new enemy while the Turtles face the return of some old, dangerous foes.
  4. Broken Foot – When Leo secretly allies himself with Karai, he gets himself into deeper danger than he could have realized.
  5. The Insecta Trifecta – The team faces Stockman-Fly’s new insect minions and Raph has to man up to overcome his fear of insects and lead the team.
  6. Mutant Gangland – Don Vizioso’s gang tracks the Turtles with a slew of Anti-Mutant weapons!
  7. Bat in the Belfry – Mikey befriends two odd new superheroes, Wingnut and Screwloose!”

Will you be picking up Earth’s Last Stand when it comes out? Are you happy to see these releases continuing? Would you rather see them release these episodes on another format? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or on facebook/twitter.

‘Beyond the Known Universe’ TMNT DVD Set Coming Soon

by Justin W
written by Justin W

If you’ve been keeping up with Nickelodeon’s DVD releases for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then you’re probably already aware of how this works. Nickelodeon likes to put a collection of episodes from each season on individual DVD sets, eventually producing an entire season of content across multiple releases. Thankfully, they release all of their TMNT DVD sets in episode order, so it’s not too difficult to put everything together in the end. This trend would appear to continue with their latest offering, the first TMNT DVD set with episodes from the fourth season of the show, entitled Beyond the Known Universe.

TMNT2012_BeyondTheKnownUniverseIn this season of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, our heroes in a half shell have found themselves traveling through space with their newest companion, Professor Honeycutt. Featuring the first twelve episodes of the fourth season, Beyond the Known Universe brings us the first half of season four on two discs. In addition to the episodes themselves, there will also be at least one special feature on the TMNT DVD set entitled “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Kicking Shell and Taking Names.” As per usual, some of the first printings of this set will also include a few extras for collectors, including a Michelangelo zipper pull and movie cash toward a ticket for Out of the Shadows.

With a release date of May 24th, this TMNT DVD set might actually offer an excellent opportunity to bring home the latest episodes of the series while also saving some money on a ticket to the new movie from Paramount Pictures. If this set is released at the same price point as the other sets in the series, chances are that it will have an MSRP of $19.99 and sell for around $14.99 on the open market. We have yet to determine how much movie cash will be provided, but it’s a safe bet to assume that it will probably be worth at least $7.50 towards a ticket for the new TMNT sequel.

I’m sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that I would love to see Nickelodeon start releasing this series on an HD physical platform like Blu-ray, but as of yet we haven’t seen any indication that they have any plans to do so. At the very least, they’re giving us the series in an easily consumable and collectible manner which will allow us to easily re-watch and enjoy the story in episode order from start to finish. With that being said, I still remain hopeful for an eventual blu-ray release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Until then, at least releases such as Beyond the Known Universe are well crafted and offer a lot of bang for your buck.

Top 7 Memorable Moments From NYCC 2015 TMNT Panel

by Justin W
written by Justin W

When we found out that there was going to be a TMNT Panel at NYCC 2015, we were ecstatic. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that it would be broadcast live on Twitch.tv! Sharp eyed Twitter followers may have caught our link to the event before it started, but if you missed the event, you might still be able to catch the highlights on the NYCC Twitch channel. Unfortunately, much of the event wasn’t broadcast due to possible copyright violations, so you’ll probably notice that there are large segments of the video that have been taken out. Hopefully we can do a good job of filling in those gaps here by discussing some of the most memorable moments from the NYCC TMNT Panel!

1. David Tennant Loves TMNT

Sure, it’s been confirmed that his role as the Fugitoid will span a 13 story arc, but how does Tennant actually feel about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Well, according to Executive Producer/Writer Brandon Auman, he’s a huge fan! When talking about Tennant, Auman said that he wanted to do the show because he’s a TMNT fan himself. The doctor loves the Ninja Turtles? Well, of course he does! Oh, I’m sorry – Professor. He’s Professor Honeycutt.

2. Sean Astin Visits Via Phone

Despite the fact that he is currently training for the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii, Sean Astin actually managed to make an appearance at NYCC 2015 – on Greg Cipes’ phone! The two managed to connect for the panel, and Cipes shared his screen for the audience to give Astin a chance to share some love for all the TMNT fans in the crowd. Even when he’s working his butt off, Astin manages to make time for all of his fans.

3. #Booyakabunga

Both Ciro Nieli and Greg Cipes came out on stage spouting this new catchphrase, which is clearly a combination of both Booyakasha and Cowabunga. This moment brings to mind all of the moments in the past that Cipes was asked whether or not “Cowabunga” would ever make its way into the new series. Of course, we got our answer for that during the third season, but it’s cool to see that they’re bringing in this new combination of the phrases in order to incorporate elements that all the fans enjoy. That has definitely been a theme with Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and we can’t wait to see where it leads!

4. New Characters Confirmed For Season 4

Although he may have been discussed previously, the official character design for Sal Commander was finally shown off during the panel. In addition to this, we also saw the first design for a new creature known as Wyrm, who will apparently be voiced by Keith David. As if that weren’t enough, it was confirmed for the first time that the Mandroid (used by Krang in the original animated series) will be making an appearance in Nickelodeon’s TMNT! Needless to say, these are all welcome additions and I’m sure the fans are excited to see what comes of the fourth season.

5. TMNT Season 4 World Premiere

Speaking of the fourth season, they celebrated the world premiere of the first episode during the live panel at NYCC! Yes, they actually paused the event and let the show speak for itself, which is pretty awesome if you ask me. I’m sure we all wish that we could have been there, but even if you missed it, there’s no need to fret – the first episode of TMNT season 4 will be airing in a few short weeks on October 25th! You’ve only got a few more weeks to wait before you can get your Booyakasha on once again.

6. Seth Green Plays With Mega Bloks

Mere days after we discovered that Mega Bloks would be doing their own TMNT line next year, we saw their first official appearance during the TMNT Panel. In a clever use of construction toys, TMNT Mega Bloks were used to create the name cards for each actor. Seth Green in particular was quite taken with this, and he was seen playing with the toy set for quite some time while his fellow actors were answering questions. Speaking from experience, I can confirm that TMNT toys are excellent distractions.

7. Classic TMNT Crossover Episode Planned

Along with everything else they discussed during the panel, it was confirmed that one of the upcoming episodes would feature the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meeting up with the new school turtles. Although they made an appearance in an earlier episode, it would appear that this episode is going to be a true crossover similar to Turtles Forever. With that being said, it’s best that we don’t confuse the two stories, as this upcoming crossover event will apparently feature its own original story.
