WHo wanted to see more of Uncle Augie?

Augustus O'neil Aprils "Uncle Augie" was a pretty interesting character that produced good episodes. i would have liked to see more of him in the Series.

He could've been used more, though to be honest, I had forgotten about him until I read this thread. I thought he seemed to be an interesting character even only when he was just mentioned by April in "April's Artifact".

Episodes plural? Wasn't he only in "The Trouble with Augie?" I liked that episode just fine.

April's family is always very boring in every incarnation so no. Robyn is boring, Aunt Agatha is boring, Uncle Augie is boring, April's father in the Nick cartoon is boring, April's parents in IDW are boring, etc.

Well in Augie's defense he's pretty much Indiana Jones, so he's probably her most interesting relative by default.

Well I think there were two episodes ABOUT him, but he only appeared in one.

Also, I agree... somehow, whenever April's family is introduced, they're always cripplingly boring and a detriment to the story more than anything.

I feel that's true for any show. You have a main character and then you get introduced to their parents, siblings, aunts/uncles...honestly who cares?

everyone is saying how much they'd like to see Splinter be 'killed-off' in the cartoons.

i'd MUCH rather see April's family taken out of the picture in the MOST grisly way imaginable!!!!!

Well that's usually a different story.

We've had April's sister Robyn in Mirage and 4kids and she's rather dull. Most people don't even know April even has a sister.

April's Aunt Agatha appeared in 2 episodes of the original cartoon and she a Mary Sue Sherlock Holmes clone. Her Uncle Augie appeared in 4kids and he's an Indiana Jones ripoff.

April's father appeared in Nick and IDW, he's OK, but nothing special. April's mother in IDW is also a boring middle age woman.

Maybe Aunt Agatha in the 1987 cartoon should come to the UK as the turtles get there and travel back in time to 1890, meeting Sherlock Holmes...

No! I don't want to see him in his cut off jeans. like he's running around in booty shorts.

April's family members are always such goofballs in these cartoons.

April needs to be with human friends and families, balancing her more fantastic friends the turtles, that's why l've liked most of her human family members and friends and April socializing with them.
