Have to vote my love to all three. I teeter between the OT and 4Kids as to which is my favorite, but I'd probably say 4Kids. Oddly, while I was initially on the fence with Nick, it has grown on me, and I now eagerly wait for each new episode. And of course, the OT will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. So, yeah- all three (almost) equally!

Surely there was waaay more of that stuff in the OT than in the 4kids show.

Not really on the magic part, but the OT had a fair amount of aliens.

2k3 series is the best, I could watch it over and over again. I grew up with the OT but I don't like it as much now but it can still be enjoyable at times. The Nick series has it's moments too but I find myself hating it at times. Don't like the way they turned some of the characters into teenagers, the turtle's personality at times make them unlikeable to me, the Kraang are annoying when they talk and not a fan of CGI either.

I voted Nick only. I grew up with the OT and I still do like it some, but not as much as I used to. I think Nick surpasses it in quality.

I love the 2K3 series. I kinda like the first season of the original toon, i watched it just for nostalgia. Regarding the Nick show, I don´t like the cgi animation, but is not a bad show, it is just that i have not the time to watched it, bu 2K3 es my fav by far. I actually purchased the spanish dvd set of the first season!!

2K3 is still my favourite TMNT cartoon, with the Nick close behind - the more I watch it, the more I like it. Don't care for the OT at all, although I do dig some of the characters/designs.

I love the 4Kids show and the Nick show, but I'm not a fan of the unfortunately popular original show.

Like all 3 for different reasons and to varying degrees.

I gotta understand

The people that don't like 4 kids, is it cause of the more serious tone? Essentially these are all kids shows, but 4kids seemed to be more aimed at teens and possibly adults as well, and got away from the constant jokes and such unlike the two counterparts.

Three very different shows and I like each one of them for what they are.

Mind elaborating why? I woulda thought you were a comics only guy.
Anyway I like em all for various reasons. The least enjoyable show was defenitely 2k3 after season 4. OT had a good chunk of terrible episodes, but truly great ones as well.

i like the original toon and 4kids toon. i cant stand how they look on the nick series and if i dont like how something looks, it makes it really hard to like the show. they are by far the scrawniest turtles we've ever seen and their faces just look flat out weird the eyes are too round and they really didnt need colored pupils or gaps in their teeth, and i dont like their overall designs those huge wraps around the forearms etc and the way mikey acts and talks like he's 5 years old.

on a happier note, nick mikey is extremely cute and adorable
but thats part of the reason i think im too old for the nick series, its just too childish. they look like baby turtles

Like I've always said, the Nick TMNT show isn't the "real" Turtles to me, but it's an entertaining, funny show to watch with my daughter. And it's well made.

The Fred Wolf show is unwatchable save for in small amounts when I'm drunk enough and waxing nostalgic. The 4Kids show isn't even that, unless I'm just in the mood to Clockwork Orange punish myself in a chair by watching its horrible Playmates-ized bastardizations of stories I love from the Mirage comics.

^He's entitled to his opinion. I disagree but I respect it. The demograph I feel was 7-13 IMO.

Fair enough. While I enjoyed seeing some of these stories from Mirage issues, some were severely watered down.

I like all three cartoons to various degrees. The Nick cartoon is my favorite, followed by the OT and then 4Kids, even though I've only seen a couple of season 1 episodes from it.
