    Close enough, according to the show it's "I'm in great pain, someone please help me"
    They could do the same thing that they did for Jerry,

    I'm more optimistic about this not being cancelled, seeing how the guy behind the "Anti-action Cartoon/Pro-Live Action" movement was fired.

    A network cannot survive on one show alone... it also has SpongeBob. Woohoo. Granted TMNT is an awesome show, Nickelodeon still has nothing going for it... I'm surprised it's still on air.

    CN can still cancel TF15 at any time... it would have been safer on Discovery Family, but it would have had lower ratings. Also, networks still dictate how a show is produced.

    I hope they don't cancel this like they canceled Animated.

    It'll be canceled before it's first season is over.

    What makes you say this?

    Has the new CEO been cancelling multiple shows like the last guy did? (I honestly don't know and am too lazy to check.)

    Never mind the fact that Nickelodeon has been around as long as many of the people on this board have been alive. But hey, whatever. By that same token, then, why is Fox still around? All it's got going for it is The Simpsons and Family Guy, right?

    Nickelodeon has a lot more programming than two shows, and covers a large demographic. Just sayin'.

    Two words: Cartoon Network, where good action cartoons go to die.

    Don't forget Power Rangers, Digimon, its teen comedies, Legend of Korra, Avatar, Kung Fu Panda, Penguins of Madagascar, and a host of house cartoons like Fairly Oddparents

    Can't dictate on something that is already produced. CN doesn't have any control here, just like during the AEC days, CN is simply paying for the privilege of airing the show how they see fit.

    As is, if this site is correct, Hasbro is planning for a whopping SEVENTY EIGHT episodes for this thing.

    Don't feel bad I didn't even know that Cartoon Network had a new CEO until I read it in this thread. I guess it kind of reflects just how much I've given up on Cartoon Network until someone says new Venture Brothers episodes.

    Yeah that was news to me as well. But new CEO or not, they have a lot of work to do to regain trust.

    I find it odd that it went to CN instead of staying with Discovery family. But it make sense that it was probably the best decision Hasbro Studios could have made without having to consider they channel they no longer totally own.

    In any case, i don't get CN here so it doesn't help me. Just hope fans upload it so i can watch it.

    Wow! what a stupid move! Cartoon Network has ruined every Transformers series they ever had, and as said by another poster once they get bored with it they will bury it in some god forsaken time slot where it will fade away! they would have been better off going to NICK and Ted McGinley as Grimlock! Al Bundy beware! Mr. Darcy gone Dino! LOL!!

    Good gracious, you people have a burning hate of CN.

    Look, I know Transformers Animated Season 4 was the best that never was, and that you all have a gigantic hole right in the middle of your TF-loving hearts when they canceled the show, but...

    This isn't that. Animated was doomed by its own situation. In 2009, several things were happening. RotF came out, doing big, as did its toyline. Animated figures, except for shelfwarmers, were off the shelf. At the same time, Hasbro was gearing up Hasbro Studios and the HUB, knowing that by the end of the following year, they were having their own show on their own network with its own toyline. Animated was never going to move over, and Hasbro was never going to have a TF show on another channel at the Hub's launch. Animated was heading out the door.

    CN network basically would have been stringing it along another 13 episodes with a somewhat uncooperative Hasbro, who'd made parts of the process difficult for CN already, and no toyline to back it up, already having 42 episodes to rerun for a while, and the fact that Hasbro was in short time going to start their own channel with the rights to show all the episodes that CN might produce.

    It made no sense for them to order another 13 episodes. There was no rating numbers those episodes could have gotten that would have justified them in CN's business model. It wasn't them being grumpy, or mean. The TFA deal had run its course for them and they let it go.

    RiD is a different deal. Being Hasbro-produced, they'll always have the option to pull it back to Discovery Family if they need to, but they won't. The decision to make episodes isn't going to be with CN, only whether they'll air them, which they will as long as they bring viewers to their channels, which allows them to cross-promote their other shows and brands. Hasbro's unlikely to cut out again, given the Hub's back-slide, unless their content their somehow exploded and the channel got bumped to basic cable. Which isn't going to happen.

    Basically, the show will stay on CN for as long as Hasbro wants. Which will be two or more likely three seasons. Because that's how Hasbro rolls these days.

    It would be sad if CN put Uncle Grandpa over the new TF series in good time slots.

    Yep. Young Justice, Generator Rex, and more that I can't think of because I never really watched any of them...
    And just on the 6th they started burning through the remaining thirty episodes of the last show on there that I like.
