ThunderCats Premiere Date Confirmed - CN Site Launched

I’d like to see preview trailers in the preview show at the movies too. :cool:

Meh, I expect as much from CN.. >_> They didn’t even show actual ads for the Looney Tunes Show til two weeks before it started. Heck, they premiered a couple of shows this week that I don’t think they had any ads until this week!

…That network and I have issues, can you tell? ^^;

At least, it’s a confirmed date I’ll give them that.

Ya and at least they’re airing it at a pretty popular time block so It should get seen.

I’m guessing they might start showing previews near July 4th. At least, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

Seems like a good time slot. Too bad I dont have cable so I’ll have to scower the internet to find the episodes…

Hopefully CN’s website will show complete episodes or maybe Hulu.

Same here. Hoping CN or Hulu will have it.

i believe that Master Toons will be showing it, and it doesnt matter what country you are from in order to view them on their website

Two observations on the info from this CN teaser site:

  1. It’s TV-PG rather than TV-Y7, so they’re clearly not aiming solely at kids.

  2. Slithe is no longer a Reptilian, but rather a Lizard Person. WTF? That just sounds ridiculous.

I wouldn’t say all that! The show will be aimed for everyone but with more action/story telling this time around :slight_smile:

TV-PG is still for kids. The next rating higher would be TV-14. TV-PG just means some parents might want to watch the show with their kids.

I understand, and I think we agree. I’m not suggesting that it’s not for kids, just that it’s not solely for kids. Most cartoons like this, the original series included, are rated TV-Y7-FV (intended for kids 7 and up and featuring fantasy violence). The fact that they sought a TV-PG rating suggests that they are indeed aiming the show not just at children but also at adults. They want us to watch!

Does anyone know if this show will be in HD?

Well yeah. They’ve already said they want the show to be watchable for the “ThunderDads” or fans of the old show who grew up with it.

Thunderdads is such a funny term…haha and if the old show was out today I think it would get the same rating.

Thunderdads… :slight_smile:

Golly, they’re not targeting me it sounds, but I still plan to watch, hopefully, if I can ever figure when it’s going to be on.

Looks like we’re getting a one hour premiere!

A one hour premiere for a 3 part episode?

o.O

Something doesn’t add up there.

especially if they’re going to have a screening AND a Q&A and only have an hour scheduled for the panel.

Unless they’re only gonna have the first 30 min at the pannel. still seems like theyre cutting the premiere short tho unless its really only a 2 parter.

I bet it’s going to be like the Voltron Force “movie” thing they did. Probably a bit over a hour too. About 22 minutes a episode I’d guess.
