Yes, from Cartoon Network Sweden. Same with the DVD, which has the same dub. I was just happy I was able to catch the series at the time.

I remember like it was just yesterday.
I've learnt about new series in 2003, when I was browsing NinjaTurtles.com from internet cafe in the Library. Initially, I didn't "get" concept of reboot and thought it would be continuation of the old series. Though, later, as I have read more about the show this confusion was cleared. Then I have bought first Konami game based on the series. It was at the end of 2004, even before I've bought my first PC. We have played on the PC of my friend and quite liked the game, though we could not finish it back then. I have seen some episodes of the new series only somewhere in 2005 in horribly atrocious Russian dub and wasn't impressed. I have finally marathoned 5 seasons on YouTube in 2007 and really really liked the show. Than I have rewatched all 7 seasons + TMNT Forever in 2010-2011 and really really liked it. Since then it was my favorite TMNT series and one of my most favorite incarnation of the Turtles in media. At the moment, it seems it will stay as underappreciated high milestone in the history of the franchise, which is a pity. This series has deserved much more love and respect from fans and casuals alike. |

I really liked what I saw of this show when it aired, and made it a point to pick up the dvds shortly after the sale to Viacom went through.
At some point I'll go through and do a rewatch. Count me one of the few who were quite amused by the Fast Forward storyline.

I caught wind of this coming out on the old Mirage site, I think. All I know is that there was some promotional event at my local Toys R Us one Saturday morning, where you got some swag that promoted the upcoming entertainment block "FoxBox". Was a little cardboard box (naturally) with art of the various cartoons on it, though the TMNT were all silhouetted (I guess the designs hadn't been finalized?). Had a CD rom, Kirby stickers, a TMNT mini-comic- Oh wow, let me stop there, I found a thread from 2006 about it with a bunch of pics! - http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=14935
At any rate, it got me hyped. The toys hit before the series itself, I got 'em all & was insanely into them. They were so high quality. Needless to say I loved the show & followed it as best I could. I didn't see the last few seasons until the 25th anniversary hit, though. When I was in my mid-teens, I just couldn't wake up to tune in anymore. The series isn't perfect, but it's very good overall. I think it was at its best when it was doing original material, though. In fact, I favor Ninja Tribunal & Fast Forward. A lot of the Mirage adaptions are too watered down, for my taste. I was fortunate enough to meet a bunch of the voice actors at NYCC in 2010 (Leo, April, Tomo Ame, Jammerhead, Baxter Stockman, etc.), & a bunch of artists who worked on the animation side of things as well. Incredibly nice people, all of them. Lucky for me, short of BTTS, I've got the series in-full on DVD. I'd be happy to double dip & grab a complete series release, but I'm doubtful it'll happen.

I probably never would have ever watched more than a few had I not been contacted by WB around 2006.
As is, when the show came out... I didn't care for it at all, but I was happy to know that it was out there. You know, Laird doing his thing solo (no help from Eastman at all) and filtering out the more annoying aspects of the Fred Wolf stuff.

I know they uploaded at least the first 3 seasons to itunes. The whole show is up on youtube, by multiple uploaders even, and Nick doesn't bother taking down the episodes.

So whats the "official speculation" as to why the series is pretty much being buried by Nick? It seems like they're only milking half the nostalgia cow.

While the 4 Kids series is a Mirage adaption, the Nickelodeon is an MWS series remake with influences from other series.

It's weird though. Nick's TMNT social media sites have actually been showing a LOT of love for the 4Kids TMNT series lately. I've been making sure to be one of the people to comment on every post by letting them know that we want this series released in its entirety on DVD.

I remember we hoped Shout Factory would release new DVDs of the series, as they released several older Nick shows on DVD. The wait shall continue.

I'm calling it, we will get an ultimate edition Blu-Ray tmnt set.
All 193 episodes of the Original Cartoon, all 26 episodes of the Next Mutation, all 156 episodes of the 4Kids series, Turtles Forever, all 124 episodes of the Nick series, all episodes of Rise and every single turtles movie to date. We might all be grumpy old men in wheelchairs by then, but it'll eventually happen.

That would cost too much and because Lionsgate own the rights to distribute the FW series it won't happen

DVD and Bluray will probably continue to exist for some years, but no way it will still exist by 2050 or so.

Probably some other format with Terabytes of storage space.
