When do you think you will start to have nostalgia for this series? - Page 4

My situation will probably be most unique in this thread, but when the show was on the air I had just graduated high school (in 2004) and had long been out of turtle fandom/superhero fandom/comics fandom, only to rediscover superhero comics, movies and TMNT in college. So, I remember seeing a couple episodes back when and remember thinking: this looks so much better and more serious than the show that aired when I was a kid.

In about 2007, after re-watching the 1990 movie for the first time since childhood, I was hooked back into turtle fandom. Started watching current episodes/reruns of this show regularly (I only like the first 5 seasons plus the Forever movie) and went back to the Savage Dragon crossover and the 1990 movie comic adaptation and started FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, reading MIRAGE and falling in love with the property. By 2011 when the IDW book started, my TMNT romance had fully flowered and in 2014 I joined this forum.

All in all, I guess THIS SHOW rekindled the childhood flame that became my current TMNT love.

Now, am I nostalgic for it? YES! YES! YES! Only if by nostalgia you mean do I want EVERYTHING TMNT related to be a close mirror of this show. I love this show. It's the 3rd best TMNT thing ever, if you ask me, behind the 1990 movie and IDW comics.

I downloaded all the episodes (STILL STREAMING ON YOUTUBE) to a hard drive years ago and watch it on my Smart TV.

It's the closest TMNT has ever gotten to a show I would like. There's some dumb humor, and some bad episodes, but overall, I loved it. Haven't watched it in years... should probably give it another watch sometime.

Seasons 1-4, didn't like the Ninja Tribunal stuff with all the magic and dragons. Too condensed... maybe if it had been more spread out.

I've rewatched the show in full about 7-8 times.

I've still only seen up to where they flipped it. Never actually seen the Fast Forward/Back to the Sewers stuff. Keep forgetting.

I'm already nostalgic about it. I'ts been long enough since I saw the thing.

I think the 4kids series will be remembered by TMNT fans what "The Next Generation" was to Star Trek fans, compared to the original series.

Well, you can soon answer your own question.

The FF/BTTS sewers stuff was interesting, but falls flat. The lightening of the tone played a part in the show's downfall imo
