If you take your nostalgic goggles off for a few minutes, you'll realise the bucket load of problems this series contains. If you look at it as a nostalgic trip with fun characters and memorable stories then it's fine but as a whole, this is clearly outdated in about every single way and a downright chore to get through.
Back then, this was one of my favourite shows with so many classic episodes and characters that at the time, were really fun and enjoyable to watch. Now, these plot lines and characters are severely flawed and boring. Maybe I'm just too old for this show and expected it to still hold up after many years BUT Batman: The Animated Series STILL holds up after so many years with wonderfully written story lines and characters, so what's this show's excuse?
If you want a summary of the series problems, watch 'Raphael knocks em dead' or 'Shredders mom' or hell, any episode after Season 2! The list literally writes itself.
THE BIGGEST Problem however, is that now there is no need for this series. There have been 2 new TMNT Incarnations on 4Kids and Nickelodeon that are both leagues better than what this show accomplished. The 2012 Series writing rivals that of Nickelodeon's best works such as Avatar or Korra! We have a new and fresh start to this beloved franchise, it's time to let go of these old poorly written characters of the 1987 Series. :(
