Yeah, I understand. However, if I'm right, there probably won't be a 5th season.

Remember how Splinter's lack of story was largely blamed for the decision to kill him off permanently? That was not Splinter's fault&mdash;that was the show choosing not to write him into the show more.

Likewise, if season 4 gets even worse and even performs badly, the executives may change their minds, un-approve season 5, and kill the show.

It's a paradox that entertainment executives tend to blame the show for bad performance resulting from the bad decisions they themselves made for it. XD
