(was the original show really THAT silly?)

The show got pretty silly near the end, and even sillier in the comic books that were based on the show. I think the 80's world portrayed in Turtles forever combined the 80's show and the comics based on that show.
 
Some of the best fan service I’ve ever seen in any format.

Lol at modern Mikey liking the og cartoon turtles and modern Ralph liking the comic versions haha. I seriously lol'ed when ralph said he was going to retire in the comic universe.

Loved the jabs at the old series though, i think it actually made this program so cool. When they were outside the technodrome, the modern turtles were trying to explain how their shredder is in comparison to the og cartoon one, and used some words like "evil, villainous" then "COMPETENT!" haha, it was freaking perfect.

If you were a fan of the original series or comics, you have to check it out.

Just finished watching it, after being psyched about it am really happy to say it didn't dissapoint. Found myself giggling away at some of the absurdity. I just recently re-watched the first series for the first time in almost 19 years. The absurdity was amped up but I think it worked it the story's favour and it was great when they went to the very first issue.

Loved the homage with them "prime" Turtles re-creating the first issue's front cover and then the group shot fading to Eastman and Laird working on it. Was a great way to end 25 years
 
Just watched it on youtube and thought it was great. Was Hun supposed to be Slash? Also like how they added toka and razar towards the end. Liked how in both universe's Splinter was basically the same with the other turtles. Still dont like how they made Shredder into a Uton alien though, but liked how Krang said to Shredder (when reviving Shred) "You over cooked him didn't you?"

Over all it was a great watch, shame I forgot about it airing on its first go though.

I don't think it was Slash since Slash was in the 2003 series. More like a homage to Slash. I'm not sure why they went that route instead of just having Slash in the show though. :confused:

Still no news on a DVD/Blu Ray release... :monkey2

I just watched up until like half way through the future episodes, then kinda stopped after that. Didn't know he showed up though, got a pic of his look?

Also the human characters look more animated looking this time around, don't remember them looking like that. Talking about the new turtles not the older ones.

All I can find is this toy pic:

He's not as crazy looking as the old series. I thought I could find a better pic, but whenever you put "slash" into any search query, you either get the dude from Guns N Roses or very strange slash fiction. :lol
 
I had every one released for the first few years, but once they started doing "Space Turtles", baseball Turtles, and stuff like that, I was getting a bit too old and stopped getting them.
 
That was the 2nd game I downloaded (after Castlevania: Symphony of the Night). Worth playing if you have a friend to do 2-players with. I've got lots of childhood memories of birthdays spent playing that, Simpsons, X-Men, and Final Fight.
 
I want to download Turtles in Time, but the sound was broke on the PS3 version and I don't know if it was ever patched. :monkey2

haha, now I know it wasn't just me, it sounded like my speakers were broken, so I just turn it down when I play it.
