I don't know if this is news or not, but I was reading this. http://deadshirt.net/2014/01/03/the-e-list-dan-and-kevin-hageman-talk-ninjago-the-lego-movie-and-how-to-write-a-screenplay-with-your-brother/ which is an interview with the screenwriters of the Lego Movie and Ninjago and they reference Season's 4 & 5 of the show.

Season 5?  Where's the rest of Season 4?!

Hmmmm...

4? 5? Jeez, my son and I are still waiting for more than just 2 episodes of season 3

What channel does the show actually come on? I have never seen it on anywhere.

DNIIM, You have to check it out! My son got me into it.

Netflix streams the first 2 seasons. We just watched the only 2 episodes of season 3 tonight (iTunes). The Ninjago cartoon storylines (while sometimes goofy) cartoons are better than Chima. Even season 3 with the robots are alright.

Cartoon Network, we have this season's eps on the DVR. It's actually really good.

Cartoon Network has the newer stuff.  I've only seen the first two episodes since it came back.  I don't think they have shown others, if they have then my DVR didn't record them.

This show is so much better than Chima.

My son really likes Chima. Does that mean he's abnormal? The wife and I can try again.

Funny post.

Yeah, not sure why only 2 season 3 episodes were made so far. The ninjas still need to reboot the New Ninjago City computer!

Lego needs the cartoon to help that theme. I'm so sick of Chima as is my 4 yr old son,

Try all you want.  Trying tends to improve my mood.

My kids like the show too, but I was speaking for myself.  I try to watch a little of everything they watch just so I know what they're watching, and the Ninjago show seems geared toward an older audience which is probably why I like it better.  Neither can hold a candle to TMNT in my opinion.

I would have to agree that the TV series for Ninjago is just more enjoyable than Legends of Chima. The characters seem better developed with some fun stories to boot in Ninjago. Chima, however, has no character development in spite of having so many and there doesn't feel like an actual 'war' is going on between rivals. Actually the fights come across more like two wimps slapping each other. I guess my problem with Chima (the series) is it has so much potential for an involving storyline, maturing characters, and some serious conflicts but unfortunately doesn't hold my attention as it currently stands. The series is trying to 'act' serious yet child fully playful at the same time but it just can't balance either value well at all. It is possible to come up with a story mature enough for grown-ups while being safe for the children. I bet the fan community could write better fiction than the actual TV writers honestly.

Admins, can we rename this thread to "Season 3" since there isn't a season 5?

All,

Season 3 resumes with Ep 3 on April 16th at 6:30pm est.

Episodes 3 and 4 were pretty good. My son and I found the Cole - Jay - Nya segments funny. While I won't give away a spoilers, we did finally see Evil Wu and a "friend" from the past that is pretty predictable.

Only prob is there aren't any planned for next week so I have no idea of Cartoon Network's scheduling. They need a consistent schedule like Chima.

Note : No idea why Lego would not produce a Dareth figure...

Perhaps they will in the future when Season 3 is released onto DVD?

I happened to walk in right when it started while my nephews were watching tv. They were good. I'm not sure why lego hasn't put a bit more effort into Ninjago, It is one of the best things they have created.

totally agree.  not sure why lego doesnt refocus more in ninjago and less in chima.  then again, i have heard rumors about a ninjago film.

 

fyi... one of the reasons ninjago appeals to both adults and kids are due to the writers. the hageman brothers cowrite the lego movie   those guys are good.

I hope we watch it tonight.

I honestly enjoy the show just as much as 5 year olds do and I know many adults who feel the same.

2 more episodes are on tonight.
