Part one and two should be on the side, but if not, then just click on "full episodes" and they'll be there.

[HarryCanyon]

They should do Leatherhead, Bebop, Rocksteady and more to bring back.

[King Gilskull]

I grew up with the 80's one and thought the 200X one was brilliant and respectful (even the fast forward stuff was tolerable), and the people at Nick seem excited, so I'm willing to give it a chance. Not digging that April design though.

[TechTrek]

I am fine with april. I understand that they want some new aspects in it. I think it would be cool if april starts getting an interest in broadcasting as she moves along in this show, showing that its the same april who grows up to be a news broadcaster.


I am not a fan of the villains so far. I understand that they seem to be featuring random new villains through the show for fights, sort of ALA power rangers. But i do think that they should pull in all the old school villains. i think that TMNT actually has my by far favorite selection of villains out of every property.

Rat King and a few other more familiar villains are coming

yeah the two mutant villains do nothing for me, but outside of that I still enjy the show, looking forward to the next episode though!

[Dragon78]

I am fine with April's design but I would like her to get some character developement since she was only in the premere for a short time with little dialog and a no show in the last episode and it looks like not in the next one. Plus no Casey Jones so far but hopefully he will be in the first season sometime soon. I also would love to see Rocksteady, Bebop, the Ratking, Leatherhead, and Krang, and I am not counting these lesser incarnations.

[Tundra_Torque]

If I'm not mistaken, and maybe someone has already pointed this out, they showed a couple of the villains at SDCC: The Rat King, Leatherhead, and General Tragg.

Yes they showed them durning the panel. Rat King will look quite different from his original incarnation and Tragg will be like 10x the size of his original version. Leatherhead pretty much looks how you would expect

[TechTrek]

boo. not a fan of that rat king. old school animated ratking was so creepy, in a show your little kid way. this new one is creepy, my kids wake up late at night sort of way!!

[Alexx]

WHOA...That Rat King is awesome! I might actually buy that toy! Never was a fan of the Rat King...and heck, he somehow got last boss status on the Tournament Fighters game; I never understood that. Anyway, the only thing I think that redesign is missing is some items that makes it obvious that he's the Rat King. I'm hoping he's covered in rats under the cloak!

I was thinking the same thing!

Did anyone notice that the show Leo was watching, 'Space Heroes', looks suspiciously like Filmation's 'Star Trek' series from the early 70's?

yep, I loved that a great nod to all us old folks. I thought don was watching it though

[Shredder]

[Firefly]

I've watched the first couple episodes. It's ok. The animation didn't look as bad to me as in the previews, although I'm still not a big fan of it. I don't really like that they did a younger version of April, but I'll see how it goes. I'll stick it out for at least a few more episodes.

[King Kahn]

Ha i loved in the new episode that shredder's henchman was basically Chuck Norris.

I still think him and the other henchman will become dogpound and fishface, shredder's main two mutants.

Good call! At least that one guy WILL be Fishface, 'cause his accessories are both butterfly knives of sorts.

[aceface11]

I love the suggestion that the new Rat King keeps rats underneath his cloak... That's a bit like one of the ghosts in the Christmas Carol, there was an excellent film version in the 80's that hid two small malnourished children under his cloak. It was VERY scary...

However, the weapon twirling was completely overdone .

I just watched all the episodes. I really like the show other than the excessive weapon twirling. I was skeptic of the design and CGI, but I think it works well. All of the krangs are strange instead of just one. Their speech is annoying.


Just need some Rocksteady and Bebop.

I agree the new Rat King looks creepy

[Tundra_Torque]

I was excited to see Baxter Stockman in the new episode. However, I was a bit confused why he didn't end up mutating into a fly? I'm really only familiar with the original cartoon when he was a fly. Did this happen to him in the comics or the 200x series?

As far as I know it was exclusive to the Fred Wolf series. but he was turned into a cyborg in the comics. in the 200x series he kept changing into different things i think.

[Pixel Dan]

Yeah, I think the folks who are only familiar with the 80's cartoon may not realize a few things that are different in the original comics, 200x cartoon, and other media.

Baxter Stockman was only turned into a fly in the 80's cartoon. That didn't happen to him in the original comics or the 200x series, but as was stated he did turn into cyborgs and such.

The Kraang were also called the Utrom in the original comic and the 200x series. The 80's series only showed us one, and named him Krang. So this new cartoon seems to have gone back to the idea that there is a whole race, but instead of calling them Utroms they are going with The Kraang, sort of like a nice mash-up of both versions.

I'm really digging this show so far. It's a LOT of fun!
