Viacom/Nickelodeon seems to love things relating to the 1987 TV series, and less so things relating to the Mirage comics or the 2003 TV series. From a cold business standpoint, it makes sense&mdash;the 1987 TV series was enormously profitable, I think the Mirage comics never made huge amounts of money in the first place, and cartoon fans complained bitterly that the 2003 TV series wasn't enough like the 1987 TV series. NickToons will rerun episodes of the 2003 TV series once in a while as a "Turtle Nation" rerun block, but I don't think they do that every week, and otherwise that series doesn't seem to get much official love from them anymore.

Sometimes I wish Peter Laird had never sold the property to Viacom.
