Does anybody between two and seven years of age not love the Turtles? Based around the kiddie TV series (currently in separate shows in syndication and CBS), the concept had already moved into films before it embraced rock & roll in 1990, with a very successful live concert tour and a major tie-in with Pizza Hut. The music is a derivative mix of pop, rock, rap, and metal, and has enraptured the little ones into getting their parents to spend big bucks.

Below are the lyrics to Nickelodeon's brand new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" theme tune so you can sing-a-long to Nickelodeon's brand new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" theme song, courtesy of ForeverMutation:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell

Turtle Power!

Here we Go!

It's the lean green ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doing any thing
So extreme, up the sewers like a laser beam
Get rocked with the shell shock pizza kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze, make a chosen few
Emerge from the shadows to make their move
The good guys win and the bad guys loose

Leonardo is the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is the fellow, has the way with machines
Raphael has the most attitude on the team
Michealangelo, he is one of a kind, and you know where to find him when it's party time
Master Splinter taught them every single skill that they need
to be one mean, lean, green incredible team

Nickelodeon's Mega-Popular Original Animated Series "SpongeBob SquarePants" Named The USA's Most-Loved Television Series!

From USA Today:

In search of the USA's most-loved TV series

Here's how Spongebob floated to the top of the USA's top series in Web traffic and social media mentions.

12:22PM EDT October 25. 2012 - What's the most-loved series on television? And, frankly, how does one go about measuring that kind of passion?

Fortunately, with so many ways these days for folks to express their enthusiasm for specific shows, there is more evidence available than ever. So USA TODAY, in an attempt to measure viewers' dedication, pulled data from a wide range of those platforms in search of Television's Most-Loved Shows.

Looking at a year-long period — July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012 — we created a recipe for a stew of statistics:

-- We collected data on social media activity, website traffic and actual viewership: counts of Twitter mentions and followers, Get Glue check-ins, Facebook fans, fan-fiction activity, and Google Plus pluses and inclusion in circles. We added total social activity measured by social-media metrics firm Trendrr.

-- With measurements from Web-traffic trackers at Hitwise Experian, we sifted in visits to television-show websites.

-- And we stirred in prime-time, premiere-episode average viewership numbers from television's official scorekeeper, Nielsen Co.

Each measure accounted for a percentage of a show's final score.

After all that, what bubbled up as the series that commands the most passion from its fans? Tops in USA TODAY's TV-passion index: Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants — which, perhaps not surprisingly, dominated the charts from both Hitwise and Trendrr — followed by Fox's fictional songfest, Glee, and the network's popular singing competition, American Idol.

A look at a just a couple of the number sets:

Total social activity (in millions of mentions, from Trendrr):

1 SpongeBob Squarepants 15,133,047

2 American Idol 9,040,514

3 Jersey Shore 7,899,373

4 Glee 6,685,882

5 Pretty Little Liars 6,618,041

7 WWE Raw 5,957,343

8 The Voice 5,524,227

9 The X Factor 5,249,078

10 106 and Park 5,080,676

Website traffic (in pct. of total visits to major network and cable sites, from Hitwise Experian):

1 Spongebob (Nick) 12.02%

2 Adventure Time (Cartoon [Network]) 5.03%

3 South Park (Comedy Central) 2.85%

4 American Idol (Fox) 2.53%

Five Facts About Nickelodeon And "Big Time Rush" Star Carlos Pena, Jr.

Below is a Nickelodeon News article about Nickelodeon and "Big Time Rush" boy band star Carlos Pena, Jr. from the 'Nickelodeon Stars' section of the (geo-locked) official Nickelodeon USA website, Nick.com:

Carlos Pena Is A Black Belt!

Carlos Pena is a well-trained entertainer. But he also has the creds to take on a number of other jobs! Like scuba instructing, cooking, even competitive eating (have you seen how fast he can wolf down a corn dog?). While interviewing with Popstar!, Carlos listed some all new fun facts about himself. And we learned how much of a multi-talented star he really is! Peep his facts, below.

1. Carlos has a black belt in Taekwondo!
2. Carlos was a cheerleader in high school.
3. The BTR boys call Carlos the "mom of the group," because he's always picking up after them (he can be a bit of a neat freak).
4. He's a certified scuba diver.
5. When Carlos is crushing on a gal, he likes to cook for her!

So who's ready to throw on their flippers and head into the ocean with Carlos? Or join him in the ring for a kung fu face off? Hmmm, considering his black belt status, we'd better stick with diving for fish.
