Theme song in season 4

[Krangstein]

In season 4 the theme song changed, not the music though. Did they change it in the middle of season 4 or in the very beginning of season 4?

[Krangstein]

any one?? :(

There were three different versions of TMNT's 2K3 theme. That does not include the rejected theme song found on the Toys R' Us FoxBox promo CD or Fast Forward's theme. There was the theme everyone was familliar with which spanned the first three seasons. It was changed at the beginning of season four to reflect Shredder's defeat, with Mikey hopping around and saying, "We shredded Shredder!" Other lyrics were changed as well, but that isn't important for this discussion. It stayed that way for fifteen episodes. After that, the cat was out of the bag that Karai was the new Shredder. So, "Prodigal Son" on up featured a theme with Karai saying to "Watch out for Shredder". I hope that answers all of your questions. Peace out, grotesque ganglion... or whatever it was that Uncle Phil used to call you. :P

I'm talking about the theme song in season 4 from the original series, not the 2K3 series :)

Whoops! :embarass: AFAIK, the only thing different about the classic cartoon's theme in season four was the different sound effect at the beginning. The song was the same.

If you meant the video rather than the audio like I think you did, that was exclusive to CBS's run. Molly Bode's guide at NinjaTurtles.com suggests that the 13 syndicated eps of year four actually come before CBS's 26 eps, but about half of CBS's first season was aired before I even knew that the syndicated run wasn't over and done with. So, we'll see the syndicated eps from year four on DVD before the CBS bunch.

To summarize (because I'm incapable of giving a simple answer): it was 1/3 of the way into year four. :)

Basically it started as soon as the series hit CBS. I believe that the first CBS episode was The Big Cufflink Caper.

I remember watching "The Big Cufflink Caper!" on CBS. They had it on Friday night as part of their new Saturday morning cartoon lineup preview. I was in 3rd grade at the time.

Am I the only one who remembers that in between the Turtles eps, like to introduce the commercials and then to say, "Now more of the TMNT", they created a kind of crudely-drawn dude on a white background? I don't remember any colour, and I he kinda looked like he was drawn in pencil. I believe these are called "buffers", right?

Was this during the CBS run? Or am I just hallucinating again?

I vaguely remember something like that. But, I may be confusing it with the little claymation bumpers CBS had. But, I have seen the drawn one you're referring to. That had to be CBS or a different program altogether. Syndication had the logo with that guy who sounded like he had a mouthful of marbles saying in a growl, "we now return to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". I wish they had put that on a DVD. :ohwell:

your not crazy that character happend to be very a very popular one in the 80's I don't remember the artist who drew him though or I'd go hunt down and image and post it but he was on t-shirts and everything I believe the guy even had a dog in some things...and sometimes he had sunglasses on.

Oh, cool...So those weren't just the 'shrooms talking? :D

Nope, I have vhs copies of every tmnt episode I bought off ebay. A good portion of them have clips of that guy in a white background. They were odd indeed.

That was Fido Dido, if I'm not mistaken. I don't recall him being massively popular... but I do recall him being on either Sprite or Dr.Pepper bottles. He was even going to have a SNES game at one point.

Oh my sweet shitballs -- another mysterious part of my psyche has been uncovered and confirmed. :D

In case anyone is interested in seeing them, I just found a whole bunch at http://tv.storrow.net/
