Our retailer contacts tell us that Lionsgate Entertainment has scheduled the next-to-last season of the original '80s-and-'90s animated series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Season 9, for DVD release on August 16th. This production year, the last season with television show developer, writer and executive story editor David Wise on board, consisted of just 8 episodes and so it will come on a single disc. Cost is $14.98 SRP for 176 minutes, with episodes full screen video, English 2.0 Dolby Digital sound and with closed captioning. Package art isn't available so far, but stay tuned and we'll keep you updated!

AWESOMESAUCE! All I can say is, IT'S ABOUT TIME. Hopefully, Season 10 and the missing episodes will follow.

This makes Master Splinter very happy.

[TheCanadiandrome]

ditto, this makes me happy as well! can't wait!

[ABrown]

I was really starting to think that they weren't going to ever get to any of the final 16 episodes.

[CyberCubed]

WOW! It's like my prayers have been answered!!!

Thank god. I guess sometimes whining and complaining really DOES make a difference. :)

Now we are almost certain to get Season 10 probably next year.

[Ioz]

Thank goodness. I hope they remember about the three skipped episodes and put them on the 10th season set.

[Roseangelo]

Sweet - Now I don't have to worry about tracking down one episode!

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if we're getting this release in August to coincide with the release of the IDW comics. The IDW issues might have ads from Lionsgate in it.

Anyone remember how the Mirage comics from 2008 and 2009 had ads for the season 7 and 8 DVDs?

woah that would be cool

[Adam Riches]

FINALLY!!! We may actually see this thing finished yet, far too many times have I started collecting a show on DVD only to have it cancelled half way through it's release. This is great news!

[Ioz]

I'm guessing that the final set will be only one disc as well whenever it comes outs. If that is the case and they don't want to put too many episodes on a disc, I hope they put the missing episodes together with the season 10 episodes that haven't been on DVD before rather than just making it a season 10 set only. They could just call it "the final volume" rather than "season 10."

[Icebot]

Awesome! It's been almost two years since they released Season 8! I'm looking forward to it even though Shredder and Krang aren't in it at all.

[oldmanwinters]

Wow, that is unexpected news. But most welcome. Now that's hope nothing goes wrong in the meantime.

[CyberCubed]

They'll probably put all 8 eps of Season 10 on the last disc. I don't know if we'll ever get the 3 they skipped over. We'll have to rely on online uploaded from VHS tapes for those eps.

[Powder]

Finalf*ckingly.

This has been a good week.

[Ioz]

They'll probably put all 8 eps of Season 10 on the last disc. I don't know if we'll ever get the 3 they skipped over. We'll have to rely on online uploaded from VHS tapes for those eps.You might be right, but it would probably sell better if it had those 3 missing episodes instead since they were from the better seasons with more core characters and it would make the collection complete.

[gobo]

Glad to know they haven't quit on us.

[CyberCubed]

You might be right, but it would probably sell better if it had those 3 missing episodes instead since they were from the better seasons with more core characters and it would make the collection complete.

We've emailed them about those missing eps since way back when the Season 5 DVD came out, it's now years later an those eps remain skipped.

Granted they have been released on VHS in the 90's so people uploaded those eps online, so it's better than nothing.

[AleXviD]

I wonder if we're getting this release in August to coincide with the release of the IDW comics.
Oh, this sneaky little DVD makers! But I'm glad they'll at least release it. Not holding my breathe for the missing episodes, though (which, IIRC, was released on R5 DVDs). There's still pretty good chance they'll screw as one way or another.

[Jester]

Yea! Nice to see they're back on the ball.

As for the missing episodes, maybe they'll release a Planet of the Turtleoids DVD with it and "2 bonus un-released episodes"....but I'm not holding my breath, either.

[Shawn_1978]

OR they could just call it "The Series Finale" or "The Final Season"

but I don't see anything wrong with it saying "Season 10"

The show dis last for almost 10 years, after all.

all in all, I'm happy with this news!

Season 10 I'm guessing won't be released until 2012 when the new animated TMNT series starts. then they can market the final DVD to promote it when the new animated series begins.

But I would hate to wait a year for the final DVD. IF LionsGate is smart, they will release Season 10 the same year, just to be done with it.

Lol, that means now the Season 9 & 10 cover art is gonna rip off poses and layouts from the new Nick show!:lol:

[CyberCubed]

If we're really lucky we may get Season 10 around December. But I don't mind if we have to wait till next year, as long as we get it eventually.

Everyone here buy two copies and send one to younger kids or something to make sure this sells.

[FearlessLeader]

This is great news, as I am almost finished with my rewatching of season 3 so it will be nice to know that eventually I will be able to finish the entire series.

And I agree with something CyberCubed said here, I really think Lionsgate held off when Turtles kinda faded away for a while there and not that they are back in the spot light they figure it's a good time to finish releasing the series.

[sdp]

Well its not like Lionsgate was ever consistent with the dvd releases so I kinda expected Lionsgate to finish off the season. I do think we might see a "Full series" release though around the time the new movie and that will probably have the missing episodes. Who knows maybe we even get a non half-assed release.

So is the box art going to be the Nick turtles done OT style? We already got 2k3 and 2k7 OT style. Maybe Nick gets pissed off at a turtles DVD not relased by them and they outright buy the OT from Lionsgate, stopping them to release the final season on DVD, wouldn't that be bitter sweet.

[ToTheNines]

WOW! It's like my prayers have been answered!!!

Thank god. I guess sometimes whining and complaining really DOES make a difference. :)

Now we are almost certain to get Season 10 probably next year.

Even though I had totally given up on Lionsgate stepping back up, happy to hear this.

Nice to see things picking back up in the world of TMNT.

[Ninja Tiptup]

Just when I had given up all hope that Lionsgate even had the show anymore. Finally season 9 and probably season 10 as well. I was worried Viacom had just screwed us out of getting the rest of the original series on DVD.

E-Mail doesn't tend to do a dang thing these days if it ever did. Snail mail is the way to go.

So how about a snail mail letter campaign? Keep it simple and it should be effective.

- Thank Lionsgate for releasing the series
- Ask them to include the 3 missing episodes "Planet of the Turtleloids Part 1" "Planet of the Turtleloids Part 2" and "Once Upon a Time Machine"
- Request the final volume be two discs so they don't cram 11 episodes on the final DVD set

Anybody got Lionsgate's mailing address?

I think this will work but they seem to have more than one address and I'm not sure which one would be the best to send inquiries to that aren't related to investor relations.

2700 Colorado Ave.
Santa Monica, CA 90404

It's worth a shot right?

We want those missing episodes released no matter what right?

Lionsgate just needs to get that message.

We've still got a shot with season 10 or "the final volume" or whatever they end up calling it.

[CyberCubed]

There's a sticky thread above with Lionsgate contact info.

It'd be nice if we got the Turtle Tips shorts on DVD too.

[Jester]

I thought there were 2 other episodes aside from PotT...

Maybe they can release the PotT as a special "movie" with Once Upon a Time Machine and the other 2 Turtleoid episodes.

[CyberCubed]

There's only 3 missed eps. Planet of the Turtleoids was a 2'parter, so that and the time machine ep.

[Jester]

It'd be nice if we got the Turtle Tips shorts on DVD too.
Those and the ads by Playmates would be awesome!

[Roseangelo]

Planet of the Turtleoids is technically a 1-part extended episode.

[Jester]

Planet of the Turtleoids is technically a 1-part extended episode.
Which explains why I thought there was a 3rd missing episode counting it and OUaTM...
Was it ever aired separately?

[Roseangelo]

I'm really not sure if it was ever aired separately. But it and Once Upon a Time Machine are the only mission episodes.

[sdp]

Was Once upon a time machine released on VHS? Are there any good quality rips at the very least? I think planet of the turtleoids is right?

[CyberCubed]

Both were officially released to VHS in the 90's. That's how fans uploaded them to the Internet.

[Jester]

Was Once upon a time machine released on VHS? Are there any good quality rips at the very least? I think planet of the turtleoids is right?
Yes it was. It's on the TMNT Easter release with the other Hokum Hare episode, The Turtles and the Hare. I had the tape, but I gave it to a kid who has all my other old TMNT VHS tapes that I gave him in the late 90's-early '00's. I made a DVD with the episode on it, from the tape...but the quality ain't great.

I've encoded the Turtles Awesome Easter VHS to a DVD, and am working on doing Planet of the Turtleoids. I'm kinda stuck at what to do with them now, though.

[sdp]

You should share them, its not like it will cause people to not buy the sets and honestly I don't think Lionsgate will release the episodes on dvd anyway unless they come out with a "complete series" or they re-release the series years down the road. Its not like they skipped the episodes on purpose, it was a mistake and the company is oblivious they even missed episodes and think they only have one season left to release. I can live with VHS quality rips counting the DVDs pretty much felt like slightly higher than VHS quality, especially since they kept cramming 13/12 episodes per disc.

[Ninja Tiptup]

Yeah I don't know if "Planet of the Turtleloids" ever re-aired in syndication as two episodes nor if it re-aired on USA Cartoon Express at any point.

It may have only broadcasted as an extended episode prime time special and I'm starting to wonder if Lionsgate doesn't even have it but I don't see why they wouldn't have it if they got all the episodes of Fred Wolf TMNT.

[Roseangelo]

You should share them,

It's not that simple.

Well... if you believe Wikipedia:
The episodes "Once Upon a Time Machine" and the 1991 prime-time special "Planet of the Turtleoids" continue to not be a part of any season set to date. Lionsgate claims that they are having difficulty in locating the master tapes for the missing episodes, which could be causing a delay with the distribution of the remaining episodes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%281987_TV_series%29# DVD_releases

Notice the lack of citation on that claim?

[sdp]

bootleg audio of turtles forever is simpler? ;) :p


Well... if you believe Wikipedia:


Notice the lack of citation on that claim?


I'm normally a defender of wikipedia but there is no citation and when it comes to stuff like franchises with fandoms, no citation is usually false. I mean news like that would have been posted on the drome if it was real.

[Roseangelo]

Well... if you believe Wikipedia:

I don't think I would believe Wikipedia in that statement.

[Jester]

I don't think I would believe Wikipedia in that statement.
Especially since the rest look almost VHS-esque, I'm sure they have at least the original VHS releases. heck, I think I remember hearing people say they sent their VHS copies to LG, you know...so they'd have something.

[Roseangelo]

bootleg audio of turtles forever is simpler? ;) :p

Yes, much.

[Jester]

Oh come on. And while you're at it share the German DVD release of the TMNT Movie you selfish, selfish woman!

[sdp]

Well I'm going to go out on a limb and guess VHS rips of the three missing episodes are already online, I think this statement is true right? And not some bad quality with foreign subtitles like Seasons 9 and 10? heh. I'm ok with that.


Oh come on. And while you're at it share the German DVD release of the TMNT Movie you selfish, selfish woman!


I actually found that a few months ago, its out there.

[Roseangelo]

Oh come on. And while you're at it share the German DVD release of the TMNT Movie you selfish, selfish woman!

Ah yes, Jester strikes to the heart of the matter. :twink:

[Jester]

Ah yes, Jester strikes to the heart of the matter. :twink:
Hey I worked hard to track down all 3 of those things...I'm good.

Then again, I had help w/ Turtleoids. ;)

[gobo]

Planet of the Turtleoids is technically a 1-part extended episode.
That's the only way I ever saw it until I downloaded it a decade ago.
Was it ever aired separately?
Not in America. But, USA Network once played it in one of their slots of two back-to-back TMNT eps, the only non-syndicated ep I'd ever seen on there.

Assume much?

[sdp]

realistic speculation.

[FearlessLeader]

realistic speculation.

And had we asked you yesterday you may have said you never excepted to see seasons 9 and 10 actually released on DVD either :twink:

I don't discount anything being possible if a company thinks it can make money and really what a great deal for them. Release those episodes separately later as the "lost episodes" and change another $15/$16 bucks for the DVD.

[CyberCubed]

When do you guys think Season 10 could hit? I think the earliest could be December, but I think we could be looking at another year long wait.

The Lionsgate releases for TMNT have always been all over the place. I figure Lionsgate is also wanting to release the last two seasons and make some money off it before they dust it off.

[Jester]

I don't think it'll be this year. Season 10 may be out early to mid 2012....maybe.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think it'll be this year. Season 10 may be out early to mid 2012....maybe.

If I remember Season 7 came out in like March or April, and then Season 8 came out the same year in September.

I agree though 2012 is possible. I think Lionsgate should release the final season right as the Nick advertisement for the new show heats up, so they can piggyback off any early success of the TMNT revival.

[gobo]

When do you guys think Season 10 could hit?
Near the premiere of NickTMNT, I'd wager.

[CyberCubed]

Near the premiere of NickTMNT, I'd wager.

I'm fine with that. Probably another August release.

Its hard to believe the TMNT DVDs started back in 2004, and by 2012 we could have the entire series bar two episodes.

[sdp]

Search my post history, I always stated the episodes would eventually come out, at first I thought it was just a big break which is what it was, as the "break" got bigger I speculated that Lionsgate would go ahead and wait to cash-in with the new show. Counting recently TMNT got a ton of press for the Nick show, it seems I was right and Lionsgate is cashing in on that. A little earlier than I expected but I was right all along. :P

As for the lost episodes it seems that Lionsgate just doesn't know they skipped them, they didn't do it on purpose. A dromer actually posted the evidence that from S1-4 they used the official sites episode guide and for S5+ they used some other episode guide and because of that we got one episode released twice and three skipped. Again Lionsgate has the series, they have always tried to cash-in on the franchise rather than actually give it the respect it needs. Once they finish releasing the series you can bet they'll re-release it again as a complete series or just in another way and through itunes or DD, and no matter what episode guide they use they won't skip episodes. The franchise is going to be pretty damn big once Nick re-launches it and you can bet they are going to cash in on it. There is a reason we had 2k3 artwork done OT style as covers and later done 2k7 movie style, and that the DVD releases started getting more consistent around the time of the new movie along with complete season sets $$$$.

[Luzmagica]

So great news!!!! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:

...Will see someday a super special pack with all collection?? :D

[Chaotix12345]

Looks like James is happy about this. (http://cinemassacre.com/2011/05/23/tmnt-season-9-dvd-coming-soon/) :)

[Jester]

James posted the news on his site:
http://cinemassacre.com/2011/05/23/tmnt-season-9-dvd-coming-soon/
CRAP!!

[Chaotix12345]

Just realized that TMNT Season 9 and Sgt. Frog Season 3 Part 2 come out on the same day. August 16th is going to make me a very happy man. :)

[Jester]

Sgt. Frog??
*browses IMDB.*
Yeah...I'll stick with TMNT season 9.

[ToTheNines]

I'd gladly send my VHS's to Lionsgate if I knew they'd get to the right person, and if I knew they acutally cared.

Basic facts are, they changed the source of their episode list and they don't really care about 3 little missing episodes like we do. I've given up on them releasing them years ago, so it's not a big deal to me.

[CyberCubed]

I don't understand how people can be confused about the orders of the DVDs. Granted Season 3 was released in like 4 volumes, but we know its in order.

The only problem is the Euro Vacation eps are on the Season 7 sets, but thankfully separate from the actual Season 7 DVDs. And the 3 skipped eps.

Other than that just watch the eps in the order on the DVDs. It doesn't matter that much on an episode to episode basis.

[BubblyShell22]

This is awesome news. I'm happy Lionsgate is doing this for the fans.

[Chaotix12345]

A bit of a press release summary caption from TVShowsOnDVD:

Join the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they face off against new opponents - the evil Lord Dregg and Hi-tech - while also fighting against their own uncontrollable mutations in the mind-bending Season 9! With the help of Carter, a new ninja ally, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello struggle to stop Lord Dregg from enslaving Earth, while overcoming Replicon, a battle droid that regenerates after each defeat. Featuring nonstop, sewer to-street action, these eight adventures will leave you wanting more turtle power! Includes 8 Shell-Busting Episodes: The Unknown Ninja, Dregg of the Earth, The Wrath Of Medusa, The New Mutation, The Showdown, Split-Second, Carter the Enforcer, and Doomquest.

Not anything new or exciting, but it still has me hyped up! :D

[CyberCubed]

Wow, that was a good summary, I hope its on the back of the DVD.

Some people never saw the Lord Dregg eps, so they have no clue what this season is about.

[gobo]

Just realized that TMNT Season 9 and Sgt. Frog Season 3 Part 2 come out on the same day.
There's a season 3 for Sgt. Frog? O_O I figured it would be finished in 26 eps, a common trend in anime.

[Chaotix12345]

There's a season 3 for Sgt. Frog? O_O I figured it would be finished in 26 eps, a common trend in anime.Yep! *DING!* (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/njIobpXQ42NHU5rFt7/browse/item/91395/4/0/0) There will now be 78 episodes on DVD. :)

[hudemx]

About the forgotten 3 Episodes:
I had the chance to look into the "official" Lionsgate Episodelist back in late 2009 when i tried to create a chronological List of Episodes for the german DVD Release of the Show. (which was pretty hard, because I only had 4 Days to do so, but thats another story)

As far as I remember, "Once upon a Time Machine" was listed right after "The Turtles and the Hare" and the "Planet of the Turtleloids 2 Parter" was listed as the Season 5 Finale "Two-Part Primetime Special - Planet of the Turtleloids".

So it could be that OuaTM was overseen, when they redid their Episodelist back in the days, but PotT? No I don't think so!
Maybe they had plans to release it seperatly as a Special DVD, but the plans were scrapped when the DVDs started not to sell as good as hoped?

We'll never know...

All I know is that Lionsgate has them in their "Episodelist" of the Show and maybe even has got the License to release them on DVD...

Maybe we'll know it in late 2011, early 2012?

[gobo]

About the forgotten 3 Episodes:

Thank U ! Thank U!! lol
maybe a little to far, I have started collecting the OT really, but I do have season 5, SO I will start again ounce I finish paying off some bills
I am jst glad that everybody is getting closer to completing there TMNT collection :P

[GodzFire]

This is awesome news. I'm happy Lionsgate is doing this for the fans.

Hah please. Lionsgate has and never will do anything for the fans. They screwed up the seasons, they screwed up the order, they FORGOT 3 episodes, they had incorrect DVD art, and didn't even remaster any of the episodes, it's all VHS quality.

Lionsgate doesn't give a **** about the fans and never will.

[ToTheNines]

Bingo. If they were in it for the fans none of that would have happened AND we'd already have seasons 9 and 10.

They're releasing this now while the TMNT is "picking up momentum", and season 10 shouldn't be far behind but they're most likely going to sell their distribution rights the second they've milked the TMNT teet dry.

[CyberCubed]

Lol, get over it. The only bad thing they did was somehow skip over three eps.

The seasons have all been released properly, and the order is just fine. The Euro eps aired with Season 7 in the US so can't blame them for that.

Sure the cover art could be more accurate but I don't care. And as for remastering the eps I wouldn't expect any other company to do that either.

I am happy Lionsgate did do as many releases as they did and got the seasons done properly with only a few mistakes here and there.

I don't mind the cover art myself, since it's the EPISODES I'd be looking at, but I do agree that it would have been nice if the Europe Vacation episodes could have been a part of season 4. They take place between "Plan Six from Outerspace" and "Turtles of the Jungle" from season 4, do they not? They aired in the same year as the season 7 episodes, but I'm not sure if they aired AS PART OF season 7.

The episodes may not have been remastered, but that's okay with me too. The picture quality is still watchable.

[twopinacoladas]

Wonder if AVGNs chronologically confused video had anything to do with them stepping up to release it at all. It has 184,000 views on youtube but was just put on youtube less than a week ago (released on his bliptv channel a while ago. I"d assume its just coincidence but who knows.

[Jester]

Yeah...just a coincidence. I'm sure James is but a minor blip on their radar.

[soccerstud652]

Will they finish 2k3?

[Jester]

That's up to Nick.

[CyberCubed]

Will they finish 2k3?

Nick really needs to rerelease the entire 2k3 series from
the start.

That is less concerning, since all the eps technically are on DVD right now, but we can hope for a rerelease in a few years.

[Jester]

I'd re-up if Nick takes all of what we have and makes a good "Complete Series" release. I kept my "Turtle Spine" volumes of seasons 1 and 2 so I'd have the features. Heck, maybe Nick could release the missing Laird interviews.

[Ninja Tiptup]

Nick really needs to rerelease the entire 2k3 series from
the start.

That is less concerning, since all the eps technically are on DVD right now, but we can hope for a rerelease in a few years.

Well you'd have to import the Back to the Sewers season but other than that they were all released in the US on DVD one way or another.

I've still got a VCR and I have some of the official VHS tapes of TMNT which I swear have better video quality than the DVDs.

I might buy "Planet of Turtleloids" on VHS and maybe even the "Turtles and the Hair" VHS for "Once Upon a Time Machine" both seem to be on Amazon. I could probably find them on eBay at some point as well.

If they don't end up putting those episodes on the final DVD set then I'd be all for them releasing them along with a few other episodes on DVD as a final spotlight collection with the selling point being the extended episode "Planet of the Turtleloids" and "Once Upon a Time Machine". Then they could include the follow-ups to "Planet of the Turtleloids" and "The Turtles and the Hair" because its related to "Once Upon a Time Machine" that were already released on DVD. Sure we don't need them released again but wouldn't hurt to include a few extra already released episodes because they're not likely to charge less than 10 bucks for having just 70 or so minutes of show on the disc so they may as well include a few more episodes to fill the space on the DVD.

Not gonna lie though if they just released a single DVD with "Planet of the Turtleloids" and "Once Upon a Time Machine" I'd buy it. It doesn't matter to me if they could fit more on that disc, I just want those episodes. It'd be good to round it out to 4 or 6 episodes though.

This should be entirely do-able

106 - The Turtles and the Hare
107 - Once Upon a Time Machine
126 - Planet of the Turtleloids Part 1
127 - Planet of the Turtleloids Part 2
133 - Return of the Turtleoids
164 - Escape from the Planet of the Turtleloids

Just 5/6 episodes (if you count Planet of the Turtleloids as 1 long episodes instead of 2 standard ones) and 2/3 would be new to DVD.

Call it "Planet of the Turtleloids", "Adventures Through Time and Space", "Lost Episodes", or anything really. Just make it happen. Heck stick the Usagi episodes on there as well and call it "Turtles and Hares". It's silly but so is this show.

I also wish they'd remaster the first season because it's some of the best episodes but the video quality is lousy. I don't suppose they have a way of doing that effectively though, much less interest in spending more money on releasing TMNT. Makes me wish Shout Factory would pick up the rights to the show after Lionsgate is done with it.

Really it'd be best if they included "Planet of the Turtleloids" and "Once Upon a Time Machine" as bonus episodes on the season 10 set. So that's what we should shoot for and trying to get those episodes on DVD any other way can follow if they don't put them on the season 10 set.

Now that we know both of those were on the Lionsgate episode list (which I'm sure is roughly or exactly the same as the one on NinjaTurtles.com) it makes especially less sense for them not to be included on the season 5 set. But I'm sure they have the tapes. Both were released on VHS previously back when the were under the Family Home Entertainment label.

[sdp]

Why would you want those episodes to be re-released? I'd rather have episodes from the best episodes from the volumes that had 13 or 12 episodes per disc and their quality wasn't as high.

[VaughnMichael]

I'm sooo excited for this! :)

Yeah, I really liked Lord Dregg as a villain. I mean Shredder will forever be the turtles arch nemisis, but Lord Dregg was great (especially with Tony Jay providing his voice).

[Vegita-San]

In his last season, Dregg did more damage to the turtles than Shredder did in 7 years :).

[VaughnMichael]

And this is why I love these episodes and characters.
I don't care what anyone says about em'.:D

[CyberCubed]

Hopefully we get Season 10 in early 2012 or so.

Season 10 was probably one of my favorite seasons. It wasn't exactly what should have been the, "grand finale" for the original series, but it was a fairly decent wrap-up.

I do wish we got to see some of the older villains wrapped up though. We never did find out where Bebop/Rocksteady wound up after Season 8. I guess they were just lost in Dimension X somewhere?

[LeoNerdo]

I'm looking forward to this because I've never watched any of these eps before. I stopped watching the turtles around season seven-ish I believe. That's about the time that I got into C.O.W.-boys of Moo Mesa.

[ABrown]

In his last season, Dregg did more damage to the turtles than Shredder did in 7 years :).

To be fair, you can't really compare Dregg to Shredder during the first seven season. The show was so much different during the final 24 episodes. I think you can compare Shredder/Krang to Dregg in the final 24 episodes. But comparing Dregg to Shredder during the first seven seasons just isn't fair to Shredder.

[CyberCubed]

To be fair Shredder/Krang nearly did kill the Turtles or take over the world in many episodes.

Some eps they were foiled at the last possible minute.

This makes Master Splinter very happy.

It makes ME one very happy Mousey, as well, ms. I cannot WAIT for August to roll around!:thyper::tthumbsu::tparty:

A new TMNT comic book series (with Kevin at the helm) AND TMNT OT Season 9 released on DVD at nearly the same time. I'm in Turtle Heaven in 2011!!!:tlol::tlove:

[GodzFire]

Lol, get over it. The only bad thing they did was somehow skip over three eps.

The seasons have all been released properly, and the order is just fine. The Euro eps aired with Season 7 in the US so can't blame them for that.

Sure the cover art could be more accurate but I don't care. And as for remastering the eps I wouldn't expect any other company to do that either.

I am happy Lionsgate did do as many releases as they did and got the seasons done properly with only a few mistakes here and there.

Oh man, so much wrong with that reply it's hard to know where to start:

Lol, get over it. The only bad thing they did was somehow skip over three eps.
Tell me something, of the hundreds of released DVD sets over the years, how many do you know that flat out 'forget' episodes, never acknowledge their mistake, or even include them later on when they had MULTIPLE chances to do so? That's a big zero.

The seasons have all been released properly, and the order is just fine. The Euro eps aired with Season 7 in the US so can't blame them for that.
Um, do you have different DVD sets than I do? There wasn't a single season released with all the episodes in the PROPER order, except if you count Season 1, which originally Lionsgate was going to f*ck up by releasing it as 'The Saga Begins' until they got reemed out. When I buy a product from a supposedly big name distributor, I expect them to at least do a sliver of research into what they are releasing.

Sure the cover art could be more accurate but I don't care. And as for remastering the eps I wouldn't expect any other company to do that either.
While the cover art inaccuracies is probably the most minor of the complaints, not going back and using the original video sources is plain inexcusable. Essentially EVERY single DVD release nowadays has the company go back and grab new copies. Since this is likely the only time these will be released, I would have expected them to put at least SOME effort into them making look better than a VHS copy.

Seriously, do you work for the PR department at Lionsgate or something?

I can't believe I'm the only one who feels this way, and flaborgasted at how much less you will settle with for something that's apparently really important to you.

[CyberCubed]

I'll agree this is the one bad thing they did. That being said, the fact that only 2 episodes managed to get skipped over is godsend. If they skipped tons of eps that would be a different story.

LOL, wtf? All the following season sets have episodes in proper order:

- Season 1
- Season 2
- Season 3
- Season 4
- Season 8
- Season 9

Episodes in slightly different order based on episode lists but still perfectly fine:

- Seasons 5
- Season 6

Episodes where Euro Vacation eps were included:

- Season 7.


What the hell are you complaining about? I watched Seasons 5 and 6 on the order they were on the DVDs, and nothing mattered. The Euro vacation eps are the only, "majorly out of order" on the sets, but again those eps were always originally aired in a wacked out place.

Most likely when the Season 10 DVD comes out, all 8 episodes will be included in proper order too.

I think any other company would have done a much better job than Lionsgate did. Smaller franchises have gotten much better treatment and from smaller companies.

[CyberCubed]

Is this why the 2k3 series actually was messed up in DVD releases?

[sdp]

2k3 was a currently airing show and most shows that are airing have to put up with the Volume crap/random episodes, its minority that actually get good DVD releases at first if its a kids show. After the show was going off the air they finally got the releases right, they just were unable to continue.

I'm comparing the OT to DVD sets from that era like He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats and releases from companies like Shout! Factory. Those are all much smaller franchises than TMNT and got much better treatment and Lionsgate is a much bigger company than Shout. To Lionsgate the turtle dvds were a quick buck cash-in releasing cheap barebone dvds.

[Redeemer]

I would like to see them release onw giant TMNT set with the OT,2k3,NM,all four movies. All in jst one giant collection Yes I know I still think Next Mutation should be put in there jst for collection sake, but I would love to see this, but alas The OT is still own by Fred Wolf and he has vice grips on the OT. Oh well I can dream cant I? :P

[cryan]

The one thing I wish the Lionsgate box sets had were commentaries on all the episodes.What went into making them.the writing,The character creations and so on.I would love to find out how some of the "one shot "characters were created.I think LG really missed the boat on that.

[gobo]

I'm wondering now: What cartoons ever had commentaries?

Yeah that stuff is very rare.

[John Pannozzi]

I'm wondering now: What cartoons ever had commentaries?
Freakazoid, The Real Ghostbusters, Transformers Animated, Gargoyles, Ren & Stimpy, the Ralph Bakshi-produced Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, SpongeBob, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, and Wolverine & The X-Men, just to name the more "kid-centric" shows (plus plenty of Disney and Pixar films).

This reminds me I still need to get season 2&3 of Gargoyles :D

[sdp]

Commentary on ALL episodes? You can probably count the number of shows that have them in one hand, and thats for show that aren't over 100 episodes. I'm not a huge fan of commentaries but I wouldn't mind a few. Better quality transfers and for extra stuff I'd love the Turtle Tips and Toy commercials. Interviews and all that jazz is nice but not a priority to me. Does Fred Wolf even own the turtle tips?

Whoa. Finally Season 9 is being released. And speaking of remastering. I don't think Disney remastered the Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger DVDs,nor Ducktales,Talespin. They didn't look like they were but I could be wrong.
@Redeemer. Disney hasn't released all of season 2 of Gargoyles. Only half of the season was released of season 2 and all of season 1. The Disney afternoon sets are still missing their last volumes,

[Tinuvielsdreams]

That was my reaction...Woah! Really? Finally!
I had kinda resigned myself to the jipped feeling but I am very very happy to have heard this news

[CyberCubed]

Haha so true. They'll probably just take the TMNT's arms and legs and move them around in Photoshop and call it good enough.

[oldmanwinters]

I am convinced that Lionsgate will find whatever images of the Nick TMNT are currently available and then rip one of them off as cheaply as possible.

[ToTheNines]

I hope the background of the cover/spine is purple. Don't think we've had one like that yet other than the Donatello slice of season 7.

[CyberCubed]

I am convinced that Lionsgate will find whatever images of the Nick TMNT are currently available and then rip one of them off as cheaply as possible.

But there aren't any Nick promotional images yet.

Perhaps they'll copy the poses of the Turtles on the IDW comic covers? I'd laugh.

[Whitewolf89]

But there aren't any Nick promotional images yet.
True dat. Wish there were, tho............

Perhaps they'll copy the poses of the Turtles on the IDW comic covers? I'd laugh.
Given that they've used poses from both the 2K3 Toon series AND the 2K7 CGI TMNT movie, THAT would not surprise me one bit.:trolleye:

But there aren't any Nick promotional images yet.
I'm pretty sure that poster counts as a promo image.

Hmmmm, probably.

To say nothing of the individual pics that have been posted, in conjunction with the recent Fan-Preview Event that Machi and some other lucky souls among us TMNT fans got to attend.:twink:

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

It is very nice to hear that they are releasing the 9th season, and it's cool to count my blessings at least on that.

Although I do wonder, would it not have been easier (like a few others have said) to just do the whole she-bang, and release both season 9 & 10? 16 episodes in one package shouldn't be too much of a hassle, that way it'd all be said and done (well, other than the 2 or 3 missing ones, which is too bad...granted, they are online but that's the thing, if you can find them online to watch, it should be easy to just slap that onto a DVD...only cause not all of us want to just watch them on a computer, but to sit back and relax while they play on our TV's)

Of course...if that happened I'm sure there'd still be something for me to complain about, :lol:

Although again, I am at least glad that they haven't dropped it entirely and such. Although yes, I do wish the Back to the Sewers (last of 2003) would get released in the states. I know most say that season sucks, but I'd still like it to complete my entire collection of 2k3 turtle DVDs (and I can't afford to buy the set that's in...eh...I think New Zealand)

Yeah but they want that money$$$$ so I bet Season 10 will be released when the new show launches, bc season 9 is being released when the comics launch so one could only conclude

[Sun Baked Records]

Or they may not even release season 10 at all...I'm surprised we even got this one.

[CyberCubed]

Or they may not even release season 10 at all...I'm surprised we even got this one.

Season 10 will likely come out right before the Nick series starts. We're getting this in August to piggyback off the momentum of the IDW comics.

Lionsgate clearly waits for the next big Turtle thing to come out before they release their next DVD.

[Chaotix12345]

It's up for pre-order on Amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Season-9/dp/B005335K7W/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1)

[Ioz]

I'd prefer the final set just be the four remaining season 10 episodes that haven't been on DVD before along with the three skipped episodes (Once Upon a Time Machine and Planet of the Turtleoids: Parts 1 & 2). Volume 1 with the previously released season 10 episodes can be had on Amazon still for less than $7.

High res image http://img.amazon.ca/images/I/91o1V32z0LL._AA1500_.jpg

[LeoNerdo]

Wow, a little bit of effort went into the cover art lol. I am pleasantly surprised :tgrin:

[Chaotix12345]

Wow, that's actually some pretty cool art! It definitely looks like a bit more effort has been put into the presentation this time around. :)

[oldmanwinters]

Wow, that cover art is the best of the whole set (not saying much, BTW). They still ripped off the poses from 4Kids stock art (Dooney's stuff, I believe), but they actually redrew everything in a fairly accurate old toon style (outside of the skin tones, of course). It's ironic that they finally made the turtles look that toon accurate... and yet Season 9 is pretty deep into the Red Sky redesign. haha

[AleXviD]

Heck, I even starting to regret I'm not gonna buy it. This cover is really awesome.

PS: Three WOWs in a row? I see I'm not the only impressed.

[Powder]

Neato. It's not perfect, but it's actually worthy the title of art this time around.

[Spitfire]

The drawing over 2K3 stock art thing is getting kind of old at this point. I like it alright but at least the last set had mostly original artwork. I wish they'd stop coloring them like the 2K3 turtles.

[hudemx]

[ToTheNines]

An improvement, but not extremely impressive or anything. Still excited though!

[CyberCubed]

I hope the season 10 cover art rips off the IDW turtles.

[Shawn_1978]

Yeah, I really liked Lord Dregg as a villain. I mean Shredder will forever be the turtles arch nemisis, but Lord Dregg was great (especially with Tony Jay providing his voice).

No other villian will replace Shredder in my heart as my favorite, but I did like Lord Dregg as well. I loved Tony Jay's deep, menacing voice. It fit Dregg to a T.

I have my own opinion about how the original TMNT series should have ended though.

In my opinion, Lord Dregg should have been defeated for good, back in Season 9, with Shredder, Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady being brought back at the end of the Seaon 9 finale, to have a final showdown with the turtles for the series finale of Season 10.

and although, I loved "The Fresh Prince Of BelAir" I wish it had waited a few more years, so James Avery could have remained as the voice of Shredder in the final seasons. Bill E. Martin did a great job with the role, but his Shredder always sounded constipated to me. They should have stuck with Jim Cummings for the Red Sky seasons as well if they couldn't get Avery back for it.

but what's done is done. All in all, I'm just glad that LionsGate is finally going to get the whole series released. There have been many animated series that have been released that haven't been finished being released due to lack of sales, and I don't want TMNT to be one of them.

If they do any special DVD releases of any of the missing episodes of classic TMNT, it will probably be either when the next TMNT movie comes out or the new animated series begins. Who knows.

also, if they want to include bonus features, i'd like for them to release the TMNT 1987 series soundtrack with all the show's background music, along with the DVDs. Even if the soundtrack album made the price go up, I'd still buy it, because the theme music and all background music from that series is pretty popular on YouTube. You should have seen how many people uploaded their version of the TMNT Fighting Theme after I attempted to do it.

Right now, mine has over 14,000 hits (or close to that) We should also lean on LionsGate to get the cassette tapes of allt he background music and release a soundtrack CD. I for one, would love that.

[Shawn_1978]

I'm actually impressed by this box art for Season 9. They actually look more like the OT turtles.

The only gripe I have about most of these covers is that they never featured any of the other characters on the cover as well.

It would have been great to see April, Shredder or even Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady featured with the turtles on the DVD covers as well.

But I guess it would have taken up too much room. After all I know they're marketing the turtles, not the villian.

I just think that more could have been done with the earlier seasons box art.

[rufus]

Looks better than what i was expecting. Kinda amazing that it has made it this far along in releases. Most cartoons don't seem to get finished series releases.

[gobo]

Dunno about 'most', but that unfortunate trend is 99% Disney's fault.

April was actually on the cover of Season 6.

The box is great. I wonder if some casual fans will be disappointed when they find out this season was only 8 episodes and costs
$15.

As a fan I'd buy it for $20 if I had to, but how many average people would folk over for only 8 eps.

[sdp]

How can anyone say this is the best Box Art yet? The first season actually had OT artwork and it was awesome. I don't even know why they put money into copying the 2k3 turtle designs OT style, any stock art from the OT would have looked better, I doubt it made kids that are fans pick up the DVDs more because they got confused counting the 2k3 show didn't have as many fans as the OT did and the OT turtles were probably easier to market/easier on the eyes at a store shelf.

I did find it neat at first to see the 2k3 turtles done OT style, but they covers were really bad, heck remember that Donatello one that was used two volumes in a row only the second volume was zoomed in on his face... The Box arts did improve after S4, and this new one isn't as bad as some of the Season 3 ones but its still disappointing. Heck I wish they had kept the ripping off the 2007 film turtles stock art instead of going back to 2k3 which already have plenty of covers. And yes since its already messed up I do hope they copy stock-art of the new Nick show.

I think art looks pretty awesome, but I dont think it looks epic enough. I hope season 10 has an epic art cover

They better go all out with the Season 10 release since that might be the final Turtle DVD Lionsgate ever puts out.

Don't make me laugh. They're gonna put out a bare-bones release, make a quick buck, then sell their distribution rights to Viacom for a couple million, laughing all the way to the bank.

At least, that's what my crystal ball says.

[CyberCubed]

I suspect at the least we'll get all 8 Season 10 eps, but I hope the 2 skipped eps and Turtle Tip shorts are included.

[Spitfire]

I don't see that happening. If we get a series box set we might see that but who knows. They don't seem to care much. I'm surprised we got this far. As much as I love the series it's not all gold and I'm sure the sales have been pretty crappy on the past few sets. I don't see Red Sky selling well at all because by then most people had stopped watching the show and a lot of fans don't even like it.

I doubt anyone but fans are buying these sets besides little kids who jut happen to want it because they like the cover. And didn't the Season 7 and 8 sets sell pretty well?

I think I remember Murphy saying the Season 7 slices sold very good.

One thing regarding the Turtleoid special... now, I either haven't seen it, or if I have, I saw it when I was little and don't really remember it, BUT according to some random commenter on YouTube, there was mention of "adamantium". I wonder if there's any copyright stuff going on with that, as I know that to be a fictitious metal in the Marvel universe.

I believe it. They were released as part of the 25th anniversary, so it makes sense that they spiked in sales numbers.

I think this has been brought up before. It's unlikely, but very interesting either way.

I wish Lionsgate would just tell us what's up.

[CyberCubed]

After the season 9 set comes out I plan on doing one last email spree asking them to include the skipped eps as bonus eps on the Season 10 DVD.

I suggest everyone do the same after August.

Official Press Release for Season 9

All 8 Episodes From Season 9 Make Their DVD Debut

Street Date: 8/16/11
DVD SRP: $14.98

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Cowabunga dudes! Everybody’s favorite shell-shocked, pizza-devouring crime fighters are back when Lionsgate Home Entertainment releases Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 9 to DVD for the first time ever. Featuring all 8 episodes from the series’ 9th season, the title follows the “heroes-in-a-half-shell” as they battle intergalactic criminal Lord Dregg™ and his army of Technogangsters in order to save the world. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 9 DVD is packaged in a lenticular O-card and will be available on August 16th for the radical suggested retail price of $14.98.

Although the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand originated with comic books first published by Mirage Studios in 1984, the agile amphibians found pop culture fame in large part due to the animated television series that ran from 1987-1997. The original animated series has enjoyed phenomenal success on DVD with more than 1.7 million copies sold to date.

SYNOPSIS
Join the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they face off against new opponents — the evil Lord Dregg and Hi-tech™ — while also fighting against their own uncontrollable mutations in the mind-bending Season 9! With the help of Carter™, a new ninja ally, Michelangelo™, Leonardo™,
Raphael™, and Donatello™ struggle to stop Lord Dregg from enslaving Earth, while overcoming
Replicon™, a battle droid that regenerates after each defeat. Featuring nonstop, sewer-to-
street action, these eight adventures will leave you wanting more turtle power!

EPISODES:
The Unknown Ninja: When Lord Dregg, a wanted criminal, successfully escapes his pursuers and arrives in Earth's region of space, he immediately schemes to replenish his power supply with the gold resources found on the planet. The Turtles foil his first attempts, stopping his army of Technogangsters from looting a vault. Meanwhile, the TMNT discover that they have been watched and aided secretly by a mysterious ninja biker, who seeks to learn from them.

Dregg of the Earth: The Turtles and Carter find themselves at odds as their differences in opinion on what qualifies as teamwork threaten to sever their relationship. Lord Dregg makes his presence known on Earth, but dawns the cloak of sincerity, working in service of humanity. Can the TMNT expose him?

The Wrath of Medusa: Lord Dregg summons the criminal bounty hunter Medusa to attack and defeat the Turtles, while his Technogangsters raid the neutrinium mines on Earth without interference. Carter runs into problems with his maverick mutation disease when he accidentally damages a dam, endangering lives.

The New Mutation: Dregg successfully captures the Turtles' uncontrollable mutation problems on camera, and exposes them to the world. When faced with an increase in their powers and their maverick changes, the TMNT square off against Dreggs' Replicon, a being capable of replicating itself with each defeat into multiple forms...

The Showdown: Carter faces an old enemy he helped to expel from their Martial Arts school years ago. However, their grudge takes a backseat when Lord Dregg contacts an alien promoter looking to take the TMNT to his perverse death tournaments. He transports Leonardo, Michelangelo, Carter and his foe, leaving only Donatello and Raphael behind on Earth, to counter Dregg's latest scheme to make use of a new Mutation device.

Split-Second: The Turtles must deal with their increasingly frequent mutations as they battle The Replicon, a battle droid that can regenerate itself upon each defeat. Carter and April take on a slug-like creature known as The Slorr, which is overtaking New York.

Carter the Enforcer: The Turtles battle two mysterious beings attempting to kill Carter. They later learn their names are Landor and Merrik, two time travelers who have come to eliminate Carter before he can betray the Turtles and the Earth to Dregg, who is developing The Star Shield, a weapon capable of enslaving the planet.
*
Doomquest: The Turtles' mutations continue to cost them dearly when they lose control briefly and tear through Times Square. Dregg finally acquires the vortex crystal, with which he can summon his scattered armada directly to Earth by warping space itself. But one other individual wants the Crystal — his name is Doomquest, an old enemy of Dreggs'. The battle for the vortex crystal leads the Turtles to a startling new discovery, but it also leads to the near destruction of Earth...

So all combined, the TMNT old toon DVDs have sold more than 1.7 million copies to date?

That's pretty damn good for what are essentially bare bones releases.

I am pretty happy they sold well. It proves there ARE other people buying them out there, and its why Lionsgate continued the releases.

I think tone-master might have the best memory of the Fred Wolf cartoon than anybody else on this forum! Either that, or he's just got a photographic memory.

Or maybe, like me, he just has all those crappy Norse-subbed encodes on his hard-drive for quick fact-checking.

[Venom]

Or maybe, like me, he just has all those crappy Norse-subbed encodes on his hard-drive for quick fact-checking.

>_e wat???

[gobo]

The only known encodes of Season 9 have been poorly rendered rips from some Norwegian TV channel. I've had 'em on my hard drive for ten years for quick fact-checking, but I can't wait to get the superior-quality DVD. Do you know how hard I find it to watch lack-luster episodes in lack-luster quality? The redundancy of it alone makes my blood boil. :flaming:

[Jester]

The 9th and 10th season is out there....with sub-titles. I have them, ATM myself.

EDIT: I also have season 9 and 10 with Russian language track, over the episodes. I tried to make a "better" episode taking the superior Russia video with the sub-titles audio...but it proved pointless as there were unforeseen video glitches in the Russian copies and the audio cut out early on the subtitl....

Did get a decent English cut of Epic Begins out of it though, as it oddly had both the English and Russian language tracks as 2 separate creatures.

[Roseangelo]

There are better encodes on my hard drive. Season 10, too. :tcool:

[ABrown]

August needs to get here fast.

I know. I'm such a huge fan of the red sky episodes. I remember it was around 1996, and I had stopped watching the original TMNT cartoon about five years earlier. I was so shocked how far along the show had come from what it was during the early nineties. The show had more serious feel to it, and it had a stronger continuity. I loved it. I'm really looking forward to having more of the red sky episodes on dvd.

[Godzilla]

Well this release date was certainly a long time coming.

[CyberCubed]

It'll probably take us another year till Season 10. But I am sure we'll get it especially with the new series starting next year. Probably another August release.

Of course I'd love to see Lionsgate release it in either December or early 2012.

[sdp]

I was thinking, maybe the reason Lionsgate took so long to release is because of the Nick deal? We know FredWolf owns the show but that doesn't necessarily mean they can release it without licensing the turtles? I ask because I was reminded of two examples of similar situations. DiC owns the Nickelodeon cartoons from the late 80s/early 90s, however Shout! still had to license the characters from Nintendo which is why Super Mario World took longer to be released since Yoshi had to be licensed separately and wasn't included with the Mario cast. With Power Rangers it appears that for Saban to re-air the A Friend in Need episode which is a crossover with masked/Kamen Rider they had to license the Kamen Rider franchise back from Toei. So maybe Lionsgate now had to go through Nick to license the turtles before releasing the OT which is separate of who owns the actual show, a possibility.

[Redeemer]

Season 10 will likely come out right before the Nick series starts. We're getting this in August to piggyback off the momentum of the IDW comics.

Lionsgate clearly waits for the next big Turtle thing to come out before they release their next DVD.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

[CyberCubed]

Almost forgot this is the last season Rob Paulsen voices Raphael. :/

The guy who did Raph's voice in Season 10 was pretty decent though.

[Leogeddon]

Anybody know what Target, Wal-Mart, and/or Best Buy are selling this set for at their stores?

I would imagine ranging from 20-35 bucks, I couldn't see the set to be more expensive than 40 bucks just for a season or two.

[CyberCubed]

This set is $15 it's only 8 episodes.

[ABrown]

This set is $15 it's only 8 episodes.

Is that what it'll actually be sold for? Amazon.com has it listed for $10.99 and Walmart.com is showing that it'll be $9.96 (both are as of this post). So I'm betting it'll be closer to $10 than $15, which isn't too bad. I can handle around $1 per episode.

[CyberCubed]

$10 is more reasonable. Its only 8 episodes with no special features.

[TheCanadiandrome]

here's where i'll be buying it:

http://www.hmv.ca/Products/Detail/622624.aspx

[LeoNerdo]

MSRP is only $14.98 so you can expect it to be less than that at retail. Expect $10 or $11 if you're buying it in a store.

[CyberCubed]

For only 8 episodes with no special features, I sure wouldn't spend more than $10.

Also even if you're not a fan of this season, I suggest everyone buy a copy so we get Season 10 eventually.

[Master Splinter]

I concur Mr. Hexahedron. More sales could mean a season 10.

[CyberCubed]

Well we got this far, not to see Season 10 would be a crime. I'm sure they'll put all 8 episodes on it too (ignoring the fact that some were on the Season 1 disc already).

I just wish there were some way to get Planet of the Turtleoids and Once upon a time machine included on the Season 10 DVD as bonus eps.

[Spitfire]

I'd pay 15 whatever. What's a few extra dollars honestly? The fact we're getting it at all is nice enough. Now I only hope they do a series set when they finish dragging out these DVD releases.

I can't ever see Lionsgate re-releasing the series again. Maybe if another company or Nick purchases the old toon.

At most Lionsgate will probably make the series available digitally, but not more DVD releases.

[Spitfire]

They released all of Will and Grace in season sets and then a boxset at the end. I wouldn't rule out the possibility. Honestly I wish Time Life got their hands on Turtles instead. They did a good Ghostbusters set. I think turtles easily deserved that treatment.
