The show DID have continuity, albeit very loosely-structured most of the time.

Unless I'm mistaken, that was part of the point of neatoman's post. Someone claimed the show never concerned itself with continuity and were praising that as a virtue, and neatoman is pointing out how that simply isn't factually correct, that while the show wasn't entirely strict with the continuity, it WAS there and without it the show would have been even "worse" than it was, because the continuity WAS there and people DID in fact care about it, at least a little bit.

If I'm wrong though, neato, feel free to correct me.
Thats true, and I'm not among those people who say "zero care and continuity" whenever the cartoon is brought up. It would be more accurate to say that you can jump into almost any episode aside from the Red Sky ones and not be too lost, as the basic premises of the show is pretty simple and doesn't require too much prior explanation.

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.
