Another plot that could have been expanded on was when Joan Grody discovered the Turtles. I mean with Muckman, she was forced to take the Hero angle because there were already people calling him a hero. And until she had something saying otherwise that is what she had to report. With the Turtles when she catches them, her reaction suggested that she had at least heard of sightings of man-sized turtles in the city. And now that she had some footage on them she could report on them. And since she didn't have a public opinion forcing her in one direction, she was free to say whatever crap about the Turtles that she felt would garner ratings.
But then Muckman covers for them and says no the Turtles are just a bunch of kids playing dress up like the pulverizer. But yet that whole cover-up was treated like a band-aid that may have protected the exposure of the Turtles maybe up until the season finale. But then have the Grody catch sight of the Turtles and realize that Muckman lied about the Turtles just being regular human kids. And that would be the info needed to sway public opinion because "If Muckman is able to lie about the Turtles, what else has he lied about?"
Then have the next season begin with the Turtles exposed to the city and Mutants seen as Menis #1. That would also be more logical with Vizioso's desire to eliminate mutants rather than having him wanting to take over the Shredder's turf and eliminating mutants because they stand in his way.
It would also be a good way for April to reintroduce the blog from season one, and have her being a voice for mutant kind.
