Well, atleast not until season 8 when we learn that Drakus built the technodrome for Krang.
I would agree with you that the show wasn't meant to be taken super seriously, and I actually think that its a good thing not to take entertainment so seriously as many people do nowadays. At its core however, the original tmnt series still had a relatively consistent timeline and internal world logic, with past events and characters continuosly being mentioned and referenced. Its not like Tom and Jerry where every episode shows a new origin for Nibbles, a different house and a different owner for the duo.

Who cares, owners sell their pets all the time?

I would add it was also a relatively new timeline. It takes years in comics for some things we take for granted to be developed for superheroes for instance. |

The FW cartoon was a product that existed in a world before products were more carefully disguised. Future incarnations aimed at kids provide more continuity explanations because more nerds on the internet care about that.
Basically, it didn’t matter to the writers because storytelling and worldbuilding in cartoons was different than it is now. I can’t believe this has to even be said. |

I never wondered how Shredder and Krang met tbh. Rte Two placing season 1 in between S3 and S4 probably didn’t help.

I find it funny how fans of the show are lambasted for "taking the show too seriously", but isn't that precisely what critcs are doing when they express how the writing and marketing of the show bothers them?

Yes it's hypocritical. The whole "I've grown out of the FW series" line is also hilariously contradictory when you take into account TMNT has always been written, marketed to kids and teens, so far at least.
