I am working on a documentary about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Is there a big enough (paying) market?

All the guy does is revisit old vintage games from that same era. T-shirts with old school entertainment media like Thundercats/G&R shirts are also pretty big, so I definitely see where you're coming from. Check this out, nostalgia overload (I love these images, from the "I am 8-bit" annual gallery):

There's a genuine desire for our generation to revisit its roots and sort through it, rearrange it and give it new shape and meaning.
I'll put it this way. If you grew up in the 80s, and watched and enjoyed the Ninja Turtles, why on earth would you NOT be interested in a Ninja Turtles documentary?
Also as a previous commenter pointed out, social bookmarking services like Digg/Twitter/Reddit are dominated by kitchy/nostalgic stuff like that, so you could get some leverage there. I.e. I could see gorillamask.net posting the trailer.

Your audience is essentially me: born in late 70s/early 80s, watched cartoons, likes video games/the internet. I'd say that's a fairly big market.
Good luck!

Some online video services, such as Revver, are ad supported and pay you per view.

The series can reach both kids and (more importantly for a documentary) nostalgic adults, so I think it will work.

the trick is
1) give it away
2) build an audience
3) charge for a better experience
4) profit.
that "better experience" can be a DVD, autographs at a convention, whatever people are willing to pay for because they liked your work.
heck, set up a "tip jar" on your web site (and be sure to mention it ON the viewable part of the DVD) so that when your fans ... um... acquire the content without paying you (TPB anyone?) they have an easy and obvious way to give you some money.
look how well this works for Dr. Horrible, All Cory Doctorow books,
The Guild, and Jonathan Coulton.

If it's something you love, you might want to consider it, but if you're doing it for a fast buck, now might not be the best time for that particular project.
