Opening narration

[Time Mistress]

Rewatching TMNT this morning it struck me. This used to be a staple of the last 4 seasons. It set the tone for the episode and usually gave us a preview of some action or plot point to come latter in the episode. Anybody miss it? I kinda do, if only for the character insights and uniqueness it gave the show. FF doesn't do it anymore and I was wondering why. And what do you think some of those eps of FF might be like if they had that narration?

Used to not care for intros, as I thought they spoiled the episode,but i kinda grew to like the 2k3 ones, at least the ones that DIDNT spoil the episode too much. I really enjoyed the ones that mainly just showed the perspectives and thoughts of the brothers without giving too much away.

I was never fond of the fact it was on EVERY ep because it just seemed redundant. But it was cool from time to time.

well the ones that seem the most important are the ones that recap the more than one part episode, like in the big brawl that was on last week, some people might not have seen the other episodes and would just be completely lost on what was goin on, but i agree that they weren't too bad as long as they didn't give away the whole episode

Fast Forward is just there for the humor and toy marketing. Not for plots. They don't want to hold kids in suspence, but just them shouting "IT'S NINJA TIME!!" as loud as they can. I guess what I'm getting at is this - Do comedy shows start episodes with an opening narration? No. It really does make me sad though. I really liked the opening narrations. At times it gave insights to character, not just the plot line. I remember in "Exodus"(?) when Splinter was talking about his vision in the first part of the plot. I just...I can't really describe it other than we saw more of his character shining through, and that part of him did not really shine again in the episode. That narration, when he could relax and let more of his true self show, was the only time we saw that part of him...

Great, now I want to watch that episode now :lol: *runs off to watch it again*

Well, seinfeld started with a narration. But, 'comedy' means 'funny', right? I'll think of something eventually.
