Few more observations:

- I wish April/Splinter's first meeting wasn't done off-screen. That still feels odd to me to this day, I have no idea why we didn't get to see April's first reaction to Splinter. The first time they even interact is at the end of the Dr. Falco/Monkey Brains episode.

- The first season barely had any human pedestrians on the street. Heh, I remember we didn't start to see more humans walking around till about Season 2.

- A lot of the same "Mikey is dumb" or "Don flirts with April" jokes are here from the start, but for some reason they feel a lot funnier than later on. Maybe it's because they weren't overdone yet?

- I love how all these early episodes has Splinter teaching a new lesson to the Turtles. Not only do the Turtles constantly train, but Splinter also imposes some wisdom or lesson upon them in each ep. I really liked this.

Oh man, I forgot about this but I remember it bothered me so much when I realized she was just there in the lair already and they weren't gonna show her meeting him.

In my rewatch I'm early into Season 2 now, I'm really enjoying the show and still find many of the jokes funny. I've forgotten so many of them that it's great to see them again. The action sequences are also superb.

This is the first time I've rewatched the whole show consistently in one sitting (I watch about 4 eps a day), without breaks so you can see how much stronger the continuity is and how everything flows together when you watch everything regularly.
