Nickelodeon Australia And New Zealand Schedules To Start To Show Nickelodeon's Brand New CGI-Animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" TV Series From Monday 8th October 2012!

Nickelodeon Australia has announced and revealed the Nickelodeon/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles News that Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand will premiere Nickelodeon's brand new CGI-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" television series on Monday 8th October 2012 at at 4.30pm, only nine days after Nickelodeon USA starts to show "Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Saturday 29th September 2012! Nickelodeon UK has also announced plans to premiere and show Nickelodeon's brand new CGI-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" TV series from Monday 1st October 2012!

From Throng.co.nz:

ALL NEW TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES SERIES COMES TO NICKELODEON IN OCTOBER

NEWS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Prepare to be shell-shocked this October when Nickelodeon debuts the all-new, CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with a one-hour special event on Monday, October 8 at 4.30pm.

The 26-episode, half-hour action-comedy series breathes new life into the wildly popular band of reptile brothers played by Jason Biggs (American Pie) as “Leonardo,” Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) as “Raphael,” Greg Cipes (Teen Titans) as “Michelangelo” and Rob Paulsen (Planet Sheen) as “Donatello” (Paulsen also voiced the original “Raphael” from 1987-1996 in the very first TMNT series).
Rounding out the cast in the series’ key roles are: Mae Whitman (Parenthood) as “April O’Neil,” a gutsy and independent sixteen-year-old who befriends the Turtles after they save her from an alien attack; Hoon Lee (Royal Pains) as “Master Splinter,” the Turtles’ sensei and father figure and Kevin Michael Richardson (Penguins of Madagascar) as “Shredder,” the commander of an evil ninja army called the Foot Clan and one of the deadliest martial artists in the world.

"We are thrilled to present this latest series to loyal Turtle fans and introduce the camaraderie of the four teenage brothers – Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello – to new viewers," said Brown Johnson, President, Animation, Nickelodeon. “The addition of Whitman, Lee and Richardson completes our exceptionally talented group of actors lending their voices to the all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

With sneak peeks of “the mutation in progress” shown recently at Oz Comic-Con, and an impressive Turtles presence generating excitement just days ago at the original, ultimate Comic-Con event in San Diego, Gen X fans are gearing up for their nostalgic memories to resurface along with the new Turtles.

“New Zealand fans are bound to be as excited as the rest of the world when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finally re-emerge to entertain a whole new generation of fans,” said Ben Richardson, General Manager of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand.

“Nickelodeon Australia has just launched the first series of sneak peeks for the new Turtles on air, and an immersive vertical website will soon go live. We’re really looking forward to seeing the response from kids and older fans alike as we build excitement towards the October 8 show launch.

As one of the most popular character franchises of all time, Nickelodeon has planned so much more beyond the new TV show. We’re also working towards the introduction of a whole new range of consumer products next year, starting with a ‘classics’ line for original fans, and further down the track in 2014, the new Michael Bay feature film will command mainstream attention all over the world,” said Richardson.

Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series begins as the turtles emerge from their hidden lair in the sewers for the very first time, ready to confront the wondrous and hostile world of New York City and face enemies more dangerous and pizza more delicious than anything they could have imagined.

Funnier and with more Ninjutsu than ever before, the show will explore the companionship of four teenage brothers learning to rely on themselves and one another as they unravel the mystery of their existence and grow to become the heroes in a half-shell that they are destined to be. The premiere episode was executive produced by Ciro Nieli, Joshua Sternin & Jeff Ventimilia and Peter Hastings.

Considered one of the most popular kids’ television programs of the 1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic, global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned four blockbuster theatrical releases. The property also has translated into a significant consumer products business—with DVDs, video games, toys and more–that has generated billions of dollars at retail.

Nickelodeon Orders Three Brand New Television Pilots - The Superhero-Themed "The Thundermans" And The Supernatural-Themed "The Haunted Hathaways" For Nickelodeon, And The Family Comedy "Instant Mom", Staring Classic Nickelodeon UK Star Tia Mowry, For Nick@Nite USA

From Deadline.com:

Nickelodeon Orders Three Pilots Including Nick At Nite Family Comedy With Tia Mowry

EXCLUSIVE: Nickelodeon has ordered three multi-camera comedy pilots. Family comedy Instant Mom, which has Tia Mowry in negotiations to star, is for nighttime channel Nick at Nite that targets adult/adolescent viewers, while the superhero-themed The Thundermans and supernatural The Haunted Hathaways are for the daytime children’s channel.

Instant Mom, from Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment, was written by Warren Bell and Jessica Butler loosely based on their real life. It centers on a 25-year-old party girl (Mowry) who trades in cosmos for carpools when she marries an older man with kids. Bell, Butler and Kaplan executive produce the project, which intends to cast an all-black family. This marks Kaplan's second pilot for Nick at Nite along with Wendell & Vinnie starring Jerry Trainor; it is 3-year-old Kapital Entertainment's 15th pilot. For Mowry — who toplines with her twin sister the Style reality series Tia & Tamera – this marks a return to scripted comedy. She recently left BET's The Game, where she co-starred for five seasons [and co-starred with her sister, Tamera Mowry, in the Nickelodeon UK show "Sister, Sister"].

The Thundermans, written by Jed Spinarn (Big Time Rush), centers on Phoebe Thunderman who just wants to be a normal teenager, but there’s a bit of a problem: she comes from a family of superheroes. And, while most superheroes are lucky to have one power, phoebe happens to have twelve.

The Haunted Hathaways, written by Robert Peacock (The Soul Man), is described as "The Brady Bunch meets Beetle Juice." It is set in New Orleans and centers on the Hathaway siblings who discover a family of other worldly beings living in their new home.

Also, from the Huffington Post:

Tia Mowry May Join Nickelodeon Pilot, Plus Two New Pilots

Reality TV star Tia Mowry, formerly of "Sister, Sister," may be returning to scripted comedy in one of Nickelodeon's newly ordered pilots, according to Deadline.

Tia Mowry is in negotiations to join one of three new Nickelodeon pilots; Photograph Copyright Getty ImagesThe pilot Mowry is allegedly in negotiations to join, "Instant Mom," will target an older crowd than Nick's two other pilots, "The Thundermans" and "The Haunted Hathaways," Deadline reports.

"Instant Mom" would follow Mowry (who recently a mother in real life), a 25-year-old party girl who has to change her lifestyle when she marries an older man with children. "Instant Mom" is being made for Nick at Nite and its producers intend to cast an all-African American family, according to Deadline.

Nick's two other pilots, "The Thundermans" and "The Haunted Hathaways," will be for the daytime channel. "The Thundermans" follows the life of Phoebe Thunderman who has twelve superpowers (her family members also have powers), but she just wants to have a normal life. "The Haunted Hathaways" will be a supernatural comedy with a "Brady Bunch"-like family who find that they're not the only ones in their house-- it's also occupied by other beings.

Currently, Mowry is co-starring in "Tia & Tamera" with her sister, which airs Mondays at 7 p.m. ET on E!

Tia Mowry Scores First Job After 'The Game' Departure?

Onto bigger and better things...

Tia Mowry is reportedly in talks to star in the pilot for a Nickelodean show, which could be her first acting gig since her departure from The Game earlier this year.

In May, the 31-year-old actress announced she was leaving the BET show after five years, to spend time with her husband Cory Hardrict and 11-month-old son Cree. According to Deadline.com, Tia is negotiating to star in Instant Mom, which will be aired on nighttime channel Nick at Nite and targets adult and adolescent viewers.

Tia could play the role of a 25-year-old party girl who swaps her glamourous lifestyle for a domesticated life when she marries an older man with children.

Apparently, writers Warren Bell and Jessica Butler and executive producer Aaron Kaplan are keen to sign an all-black cast.

Tia sounds like a great choice for the role...what do you think?

Nickelodeon UK Schedules To Start To Show Nickelodeon's Brand New CGI-Animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" TV Series From Monday 1st October 2012!

Breaking Nickelodeon UK News! - Nickelodeon UK has announced and revealed the Nickelodeon UK/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles News that Nickelodeon UK and Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK will premiere Nickelodeon's brand new CGI-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" television series on Monday 1st October 2012, only two days after Nickelodeon USA starts to show "Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Saturday 29th September 2012!

TURTLE POWER!

From Den of Geek:

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song

Matt has something very special to share with you all: the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song...

When Nickelodeon emailed around the introduction to the new Ninja Turtles cartoon, they requested that we credit it with "Watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Monday 1st October on Nickelodeon www.nick.co.uk/turtles".

Using Sherlock Holmes-like detective skills, I think I may have uncovered the date that the show will debut here in the UK. That's just two days after the US date, dispelling any fears of a lengthy lag between the broadcasts. There’s no word yet on whether we'll be getting the same double bill that’s scheduled over there (a two part introduction to the series) but if we all ask Nickelodeon really nicely, I’m sure they’ll at least consider it. Let’s all smile when we ask, too. We look lovely when we smile.

It’s no secret that there are certain corners of the Den Of Geek 'offices' that are getting a bit excited about the new Ninja Turtles cartoon. We’ve endeavoured to share our excitement with you, telling you about events, interviewing some of the folks involved and showing you the trailer, in the hope that some of you might get excited too.

We're now able to present you with the introduction, including the theme song, to the new series.



So, it sounds a bit like the theme tune to the first cartoon, but it also features quite a bit of rapping. We suspect some of you didn’t much like the rapping. We would have preferred something a bit more sing-songy, to be fair. We’ll certainly be learning the lyrics to this one, though, so that we can recite it at parties and impress our friends. It does all look very nice. No grumbles there, especially as it features a tribute to the front cover of the very first Turtles comic. What a nice touch.

While we have the Ninja Turtles and rapping in the same article, some of you may expect us to include Vanilla Ice's 'Ninja Rap' here. Too easy. Here's Wrap Rap from We Wish You a Turtle Christmas. Booyakasha, indeed.
