You know, I keep forgetting that these characters even exist. What's the excuse for not using them? Bebop and Rocksteady had more than enough screen time to market the toys they were created for, you could have easily had Shredder send out a new mutant every episode, instead of relying on the same two morons all the time. One episode it could be the bat mutant, the next the dolphin mutant, then the giraffe mutant, etc.

The monster of the week has always been one of the most common episodic formulas, why wasn't it quite used here? It seems to me like most episodes are either "Shredder and Krang with Bebop and Rocksteady pull off some generic McGuffin plot" or "Random scientist and/or gangster pulls off some generic McGuffin plot". I'm not saying saying would be better off, it just seems more like the obvious choice.
