I have no brothers only sisters and I like the turtles. I liked shows like Gummy Bears, Care bears, My Little Pony, Transformors, Pirates of Dark Water, Conan the Adventurer, Ghostbusters, Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, The Rescue Rangers and a whole bunch of other cartoons. For me it was a mixed bag I liked both boy and girl cartoons .

Thge ninja turtles apealed to me I think because they where funny and I loved their interactions with one another. People can say that the old toon was shallow but I think quite often the old toon showed the turtles in states of diffrent emotion. And I liked that. It was light drama for me with out it being so dramatic that it brought me down.

Quote:
Though to be honest, new toon April is a much better role model for girls than old toon April "Damsel in Distress" O'Neil.
Old toon April show cases a diffrent kind of strong female other than the one the that can jump into the fray and kick butt and hold her own. Remeber that this toon was made back in the 80's just a decade after the whole modern feminist movment. So April I think show cased like that. She was a go-getter and one that wasn't overly concerned about looking femimine or getting a guy but more about advanceing her career. And she was certainly not the mild mannered meek sort of woman eighther that earlier cartoons show case females. She was spunky and spirited, and actually i think her personality is intresting than new toon Aprils.
