    I'd imagine at least two.

    I kind of wonder if the bar will be set a bit lower than it would be for a more established network. With The Hub being a new network they have to figure it will take some time to build up the viewership.

    I guess one of the other things I've noticed is that smaller networks are more willing to give a show a chance to grow than the bigger networks are. Small networks are able to carry shows far longer than the big networks where if you aren't a hit right out of the gate you get canceled. USA carries shows like Psych, Burn Notice, and Royal Pains while they build a fan base but Fox canceled shows like Firefly and Family Guy.

    It would be cool if it lasted up to 98 episodes.... Like G1... =-P
    But it will go up to at least 30 episode like most other TF shows.

    :)  Oh no, I'm trying to say that 26 episodes per season sounds promising for TF: Prime. TMNT enjoyed the success of four 26-episode seasons, and considering what we've heard about Prime - that it's almost like Beast Wars story-telling - then we should enjoy quite some time of success. And I doubt Prime will pull anything like Fast Forward.

    Hey I agree with you dude. It's absurd when people point to Animated and say "see! see! it had 3 seasons omg be grateful!". It had nothing of the sort.

    Yeah it is funny I never understood when people said Transformers Prime designs look like animated (negatively stated); isn't Animated designs just stylazied G1 designs, ala Batman the Animated Series?

    Yes, but no one wants to admit that Animated was a different take on G1.

    It was better than G1. Sorry to all you G1 fans, but Animated was written so much better. Characters were properly introduced and didn't just show up and everyone acted like they had always been there.

    And Sari is roughly 2 billion times less annoying than the Witwicky family
