Member Michael L. Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 I searched my satellite guide for "ninja" today. Next week, it told me, Nickelodeon is premiering a show called "Supah Ninjas." The name suggests I can ignore it... anyone know anything about it? EDIT ADDITION: IMDB, which has little info, shows it is not animated and has George Takei... so maybe it is worth watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lateef Crowder is involved too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted January 10, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 There is a Ninjago (Lego ninja) cartoon starting soon as well... but I know what I am getting involved with there. Lego and ninja. Supah Ninjas is new to me and I can't find anything but the IMDB page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DeathFuMaster Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 I will probably watch the first episode, but from that trailer it looks utterly retarded. But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 10, 2011 Member Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted January 15, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 Holographic dead George Takei + nerdy ninjas + evil Kid (or is he Play... I think he's Kid) = great if you are aiming it at very drunk people. For a kids' show... I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 15, 2011 Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 I take it that you watched it then. Thanks for subjecting yourself to that and taking the hit so I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted January 16, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 16, 2011 No, it isn't on until Monday and I will probably watch it. That is, if I can make it through the final Hannah Montana Sunday (hey, I have not one but two daughters in elementary school)! If Wizards of Waverly Place would just end, too, do you know how much space I'd clear up in my DVR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 16, 2011 Member Share Posted January 16, 2011 Dude, my 2 girls are just a couple of years younger than yours. In time, I'll be feeling your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted January 19, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 19, 2011 I posted about this yesterday and it seems to have disappeared... weird. I watched Supah Ninjas. It wasn't bad at all, keeping in mind it is a kids' show. It was funny enough (borrowing a great deal from the Rush Hour formula) and even the show makes fun of the name Supah Ninjas. It looked like it might be better than the new Power Rangers because the ad they showed for it with the most monotone reading of "I am the Red Ranger!" in the history of monotone, dead readings of lines made it look like PR: Samurai will be best watched with the DVR fast forward button skipping all the non-action parts.

Member Michael L. Posted April 18, 2011 Author Member Share Posted April 18, 2011 Call me crazy, but based on the two episodes that have been released, I have to say Supah Ninjas is a better show than Power Rangers Samurai. The action is weaker but the kids are better actors and the show is better written. It also has George Takei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see Supah Ninjas, but PR Samurai is the most faithful adaptation of the Super Sentai Series. They actually credit the Japanese writer and directing the additional material are the likes of Alpha Stunts' Akihiro Noguchi and Koichi Sakamoto. Heard Isaac Florentine is going to direct episodes as well. I'll definitely check out Supah Ninjas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted April 18, 2011 Author Member Share Posted April 18, 2011 I like Power Rangers Samurai as long as they are fighting but those kids just can't act! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted September 12, 2013 Member Share Posted September 12, 2013 I did manage to get through one episode and while there are a lot of goofy antics, the fight scenes are actually pretty darn good. Ryan Potter, who is a martial artist, also will be in Phillip Rhee's return to film, THE UNDERDOGS, but as the leader of the bad kid team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 15, 2014 Member Share Posted May 15, 2014 SUPAH NINJAS was given the axe...there will be no 3rd season. But as mentioned, Ryan Potter will be seen showing his martial arts moves next in Phillip Rhee's Underdog Kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
