Any good ideas from the Red Sky era?

I dislike Dregg and Carter myself. Its all about season 8,see above why!

Well it was going to end by then anyway, I do feel each season should have had 13 eps each though.

Where in the world did they even get eight episodes from anyway? Five episodes is a "mini series". 13 episodes (or 26) is usually considered the standard for one episode per week season. That's what season two was, 13 episodes.

It was a joke, ****tard.

I don't know... I think everyone is too hard on Carter. I like the idea of a self-taught martial arts amateur, wanting to learn ninjitsu from Hamato Yoshi. Strip away the whole stupid chicken mutation, and I think he would be a great character. I'd love to see a new take on this Keno-like character in some future TMNT incarnation, be it movie or comic. Dregg I believe was perfectly revamped for the Nick series, and I think he'd be the perfect insect king for Magligna's swarm in IDW.

I thought Carter was alright, though he was a bit annoying at times. I liked that he got some backstory in The Showdown (his rivalry with Jett). He could've been introduced better, though, as it was odd that he knew about Hamato Yoshi.

The show is already 193 episodes long, would it really have benefited from 15 more? Why? Just so you could say "over 200 episodes" instead of "Roughly 200 episodes"? Between the "Nick show should have had 7 season, now it's only 2.5 times longer than most shows of it's kind!" and this, what's your obsession with wanting already long cartoons to be slighty longer?

This time I am with Cubed. 8 episodes is too short for a show of any kind unless it is a mini-series. Yes, I want 7 more episodes to make it 200,but making the seasons that short was off even if it was a loss of popularity.

Shredder blowing up Channel 6 was also great.

[CyberCubed]

13 episodes is the standard number for a cartoon season. I can't think of any other show out there that has 8 episode seasons. So I don't know why people found that bizarre I mentioned it.

Where did you get the idea that I was commenting on that? I was just saying since it was the tail-end of the series it was bound to end around then anyway.

I got the idea when you quoted my post.

I don't know, sure it's standard and you might have been able to brag about how it cracked 200 episodes. However, I've watched the Red Sky seasons in it's entirety, judging from what the "plot" was actually about I'd say they could have been even shorter and you would not miss anything important.

And while we're on the subject of standards. When it comes to this show, really? You wanna talk about standards in the episode/season ratio?

1. 5
2. 13
3. 47
4. 41
5. 20
6. 16
7. 13+14
8. 8
9. 8
10. 8

If anything, 8 episodes were the closest thing thing this show had to a standard episode count per season.

Season 8 could've been longer, but I agree that the episode count was enough, definitely for seasons 9 and 10 anyway. Mobster from Dimension X was filler.

I guess the standard number has changed throughout the years.

[CyberCubed]

The standard for cartoons was always 13 or 26 episode seasons. Even Season 7 of the OT was a 13 episode season, so it would have been likely for Season 8+ to be the same.

I think I might've asked this before, but how did CBS fill 52 Saturdays with only 8 episodes during season 8? Did they air each episodes at least 6 times, or did they rerun some of the pre-red sky era episodes as well?

I know that during the final season, they reran season 9 episodes as well. I would just assume that during season 9 they did the same thing, rerunning season 8 episodes as well.

I think they just reran Season 8 and 7, but once Season 9 started they only ever reran the last season episodes and nothing prior to 8.

The Globfather and Dregg using the Protein Computer brain to control the world's telecommunications networks in "Mobster from Dimension X" was pretty neat. I'd like to see something like that done again. I think "The Day the Earth Disappeared" with the Turtles travelling through dimensions was also pretty good, even if it was a bit rushed compared to other iterations. I also liked the appearance of ninjas in "State of Shock," even if Megavolt seemed unconventional as a leader of a ninja clan.

However, I think one of the best episodes is "Turtle Trek," because it shows some character development and tension between the Turtles, especially the brief tension displayed between Leonardo and Raphael where they were about to fight each other, which isn't something you really see in the Fred Wolf series.

It was great, and thankfully not overused in this series.

The infighting in Turtle Trek and Michaelangelo's goofing off in HAVOC in the Streets annoyed me a lot even if they were necessary for the plot. Michaelangelo at least proved to be the sane one in both Turtle Trek and Doomquest; the latter only had him mutate once.
