As someone rewatching the Nick show now, Raphael was handled very well in the first two seasons. He got a ton of episodes in the first season also co-starring with Leonardo as the second leader (the A and B Turtle team episode) in multiple eps, and Raph was also the main star of Slash's debut episode, the first episode Casey Jones meets the turtles properly (it was a Raph/Casey ep), and the "follow the leader" episode with Leonardo. He does get less episodes from Season 3 onward.
As for Michelangelo, he'll probably always be the designated comic relief character especially in cartoons aimed at kids. I liked a lot of his episodes in the Nick show, but he did get flanderized from Season 3 onward. Same thing happened to Casey really, he started off fairly entertaining in Season 2 but then got dumber as the show progressed.
