It's called Volume 4.

(Although, I guess that's more like Laird and Lawson's AMNT).

My mum reads IDW, read Vol. 4/Tales vol. 2 when it was still going on, and watches all of the shows. While obviously not as "in" to it as me, she knows some characters that some people who stopped watching them after the 90s don't remember (Case in point, she was excited to see Mondo Gecko show up in the 2012 show, whereas a colleague of mine who was super into the 87 show but hadn't paid attention to the Turtles since didn't remember who that was).

Your mom sounds really cool. My parents knew about the trutles only because I got so heavily into them in middle school. But my dad only made fun of it, and my mom just kind of mildly acknowledged it.

I guess that works.

My grandmother and my parents know very well who the Ninja Turtles are. They're one of the few "superheroes" they can name. TMNT might not be as big as Batman, Superman or Spider-Man or make as much revenue or garner as much respect... but you'd be VERY HARD PRESSED to find a human being on Earth that hasn't heard of them at all. Do most people know their names or can tell which is which? Most likely not, but mention Ninja Turtles to anyone and they'll know. I've never met a human being who doesn't know them.

Anyway, my grandmother and my parents have watched some episodes with me when I was a kid and have also watched the 3 live action movies from the 90s. They don't mind the Turtles, I'd say.

Except very young children, anyone who hasn't been locked up in the root cellar since May 1984 should at least know what it is.

Well I don't mean literally everyone on Earth. I'm sure North Koreans or some illiterate villagers in Afghanistan don't know who the TMNT are.

I'll forgive those in North Korea at least. Starving just because Kim needs so expensive toys.
