14 years ago today, TMNT launched a new series. Who remembers the 2003 cartoon? 🐢📺

Sweet!

Just seen Black Nerd Comedy retweet this (because of course he did).

It's a shame time zones are a thing, because it's the 9th now in the UK.

I was only 17 when this show started and watched every episode when it debuted the first time.

Man, how time flies. This show is now 14 years old, nearly a decade and a half. It's now "retro." I can't believe it.

Happy anniversary to the best TMNT show produced!

Again, feels like we coulda just waited one more year for this thread lol.

It's so weird to think 2003 is now nearly 15 years ago.

Goddamn I want the early 2000's back. What a time to be alive that was. I was in High School at the time, everyone was so much simpler back then.

"Keep your fingers crossed" isn't exactly them not shooting down the possibility. More of an optimistic way of saying, "don't count on it".

Couldn't agree more!

Didn't know it was the 14th anniversary, to be honest. I first found out that there was going to be a new tmnt cartoon in 2002 when I started browsing the Technodrome forums as a guest. I started watching the cartoon when it began airing in Ireland on rte two from September 2003. The definitive tmnt cartoon, in my opinion.

Ah yes, I remember seeing those.

So it has been done by a professional company, but that set should probably be looked at as an outlier and not a precedent.

That's kinda cool. As long as companies don't lie about the content not being in HD, I don't see why this shouldn't catch on. The cost of putting SD media onto Blu-ray discs is no doubt a deal-breaker for most companies though.

When in 2002 did the news come out? Everything came out so much slower back then.

ninjaturtles.com, which was Mirage's official website, broke the news sometime in 2002. You can probably find old threads on this forum from 2002 where we first found out about it

Loved this series. It made me sign up instead of just lurking back in 2003. I've enjoyed all the TMNT shows and movies for the most part, but this one will always be special to me.

It's kind of funny, almost all the people who were on this forum back in 2002-2007 or so are now gone. You look at the oldest threads on these forums and at the usernames, about 90% of those people are gone and haven't posted here in years.
