Questions about original series order
I have the Turtle Van DVD set of the original show and I'm currently working on downloading everything to my hard drive, however I'm having some trouble cataloging them.
I know that the DVDs weren't in perfect order. My question is, are the episodes "The Turtles and the Hare" and "Once Upon a Time Machine" in Season 4 or Season 5? Wikipedia and Turtlepedia are giving me two different answers. |

Those two were originally listed on the old Mirage run ninjaturtles.com as the first two episodes of the 5th season.

Its takes place at the end of the first 13 episodes of season 4 due to the theme song but it also works as a finale to season 4 as well despite it being put at the beginning of season 5. (for which My Brother the Bad Guy makes more sense as a premiere).

Season 4 sideseason
I see them as a sideseason, set during season 4, just like "Vacation in Europe".

These were part of the weird handful of new episodes made for syndication while new episodes were mainly being aired on CBS, I believe during season 4. Funny that the CBS and syndication episodes always remained separate and the airings never crossed over to each other. That's why the season 4 syndication episodes still have the old opening sequence.

Their production code puts them in season 4.

Season 4. In Ireland, I think they were placed between “Back to the Egg” and “Son of Return of the Fly II”.

I like the TMNTentity logic in episode order:

This show was designed to be as episodic as possible and aired in the incorrect order, not to mention that what little story it does have makes no sense, you really don't have to worry about getting the episodes in order.

Most shows even now are semi episodic so anyone can get into them. That doesn't mean there isn't continuity and with the OT you have some definite and some more subtle. The technodrome's location is the easiest way to know a show is meant to take place in a specific season but if we go by dialog we get to see that some episodes do reference other ones.
We have a good episode order that works, sadly we don't have a 100% accurate episode order list since not enough people seem to be interested and it's a lot of work, it's only very small references and what not. That thread linked in the beginning of the thread is the most the fandom has gotten at getting a 100% accurate timeline. Too much of a hassle for extremely small details I guess but I'd love to see it happen one day. |

I always preferred them at the start of Season 5 but I'd be wrong to list them there.

Says the autistic moron who was banned from at least three different forum for acting like an ass. How that membership on the Ghostbusters forum going? Or the one on the Star Trek one? Still pretending they banned you for anything but spitting the face of facts? "Politics", right?

Its not like Tom and Jerry where every episode is different and there is no overarching plot. Nothing against that show or the format (i love them infact), but it is clear that the "arguement" of FW tmnt having no continuity is only made to discredit it.

The point is while TMNT wasn't seralised to the extreme (I prefer that actually) it doesn't mean fans can't try to embrace the show's mythology and try to do something like put episodes of a show in a better viewing order. |
