View Full Version : The "What Episode was That From?" Thread

I couldn't think of what else to call this thread, but I figured it might come in handy. Most of us don't have perfect memories when it comes to recalling everything we remember from cartoon shows with exact precision. Often, I can recall images of soundbites but not the episode reference.
After a while, I get agitated over not being able to remember the name of an episode, but I hate starting a new thread just to ask each question. So, I figured it might be nice to create a go-to, catch-all thread. Hopefully, the fan-base can provide correlations between episode names and lingering memories.
I figured I'll start out with this question: Wasn't there an episode or two where Shredder and/or Krang appeared on the NYC Times Square TV screen? It may not have been Times Square per se, but I think it was some large video screen somewhere in the city. I'd very much appreciate some help in identifying this episode.

I watched that episode fairly recently (Shredder and Splintered/Shredder is Splintered/Shredder & Splinter/whatever), and I believe that video ultimatum was delivered through the turtle's sewer television set. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Thanks a bunch! It figures it would have something to do with those Camera-lovin' Polarisoids!
EDIT: lol @ the "Fony" Times Square screen!
I seem to recall it happening in more than one ep as well. It was TV they interrupted in "Shredder's Mom", I think.
I set up a similar thread in 'forum games', but that's just a trivia thing; guess the toitle show. ^_^

Which episode was it where April O'Neil was about to get shrunk, and she stated that while she wanted to lose weight, she didn't want to lose it that way? Did she ever make any other comments about her weight on the show? There were times where she seemed pretty vain (like when she complained about being a hag in her late twenties), so it was bound to come up, but I just remember that one where she was going to get shrunk specifically.

I wish I knew, but I only remember it as a standalone quote. I just tend to jokingly use it once in awhile, and was hoping to find the actual scene. The thing is, though, when I watched all the DVD releases as they came out, I don't remember hearing it, so either I overlooked it or maybe I'm just misremembering this quote.
either I overlooked it or maybe I'm just misremembering this quote.
I remember it. Krang was complaining that some invention wasn't ready, but Shredder insisted on using it anyway. Might have been "Teenagers From Dimension X. Maybe "Sky Turtles". I just know that Uncle Phil said it.

That was The Big Break In when the minimizer almost made her shrink and the one where she was upset about being 28 years old was Leatherhead, Terror Of The Swamps, when the turtles saw the fountain of youth.

I thought I'd go ahead and update this thread with a funny Shredder quote that I long remembered but had a hard time identifying with a specific episode.
In "Peking Turtle," Shredder responds to Krang's idea to kidnap April O'Neil with, "Hmm, not a bad idea, although we've done that at least 30 times before. But hey, who's counting?"
In the same episode he gives bizarre marching orders to an army of marble warriors, saying "Your left, your left, you left your wife and 48 kids!" :o
Hadn't watched that episode in a while, but it's got some really funny bits!
Thanks to tone-master for the answer!

Sounds like it's from the previous episode State of Shock. The turtles were only working with the bad guys because they wanted them to think they were on the same side. April saw them working together in action and thought the turtles turned into bad guys.

"Son of Return of the Fly II," in reference to the front entrance of the Channel 6 building. Rocksteady says the same thing to Bebop later in that episode, and is more along the lines of "the destruction of other people's property".
Oh, thank you!
Are there many other episodes where the Turtles disagree as to what to do?
Like in Leonardo Cuts Loose, Don tells them to "hold it", saying he doesn't think they should go rushing into the building full of muscle bound badguys. The Turtles then stand around for a little bit discussing what to do.
I'm sure season 8 had more disagreements as David Wise said the producers wanted more drama. I've always found that dynamic between the characters interesting when they don't all see eye-to-eye on the same course of action.

You know what is odd about that in Leonardo Cuts Loose? Don tells them to stand back and evaluate the situation but when the robotic gym trap arrives Don does not even consider it!
As for season 8, the big one would be when Michelangelo and Leonardo don't trust Titanus from the start and Raphael and Donatello do in Cry H.A.V.O.C.

Ah, this thread is PERFECT!
I'm going to have to ask true fans of TMNT here to please put my mind at ease, because this is driving me NUTS.
When I was a kid, almost late 90's... I came across Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon which looked a heck of a lot like the OT. There were slight graphical improvements, but the turtles' eyes had YELLOW instead of WHITE. (Not sure if this was an effect used for Night scenes, but the show itself always happened at night, so....).
Did I dream this, or at some point during the OT did the graphics improve and the Turtles' eyeballs were yellow instead of white?
This has been driving me nuts for AGES! :(

The so-called "Red Sky" seasons 8-10 featured a full animation overhaul, which included some noticeable changes to the turtles' eye sockets (you could see some green skin between their eyes and the bandana fabric). I don't know about the yellow effect though. I guess it could have been your TV's color settings or else the animation just gave you that impression. Season 8 was the best looking of the Red Sky episodes.

There were TWO things I immediately found different with that episode I remember seeing (yellow eye sockets, and actual shading). And this comes REALLY close to what I picture in my mind.
I'm not sure where the yellow eye socket came from, but it was the other most noticeable thing that stuck out the most.
It HAS to be this! I'll be sure to check those particular seasons soon! They even look a bit more serious too.
Thanks a lot!

I know these other characters had their birthdays celebrated in the following episodes:

April - Shreeka's Revenge
Irma - Attack of the 50-Foot Irma
Burne - 20,000 Leaks Under The City

Oh, don't get me wrong! I love most of that episode. The Flush-o-matic and the true deviousness of Shredder is great. Bebop and Rocksteady are really funny on their tricycles.
I just think people ought to have been permanently banned from the writing profession for that plot resolution. It's inexcusable even for the Fred Wolf series. And it's Example A I point to when people criticize the mutant bananas and pizzas as "too weird" for the OT. Nothing will ever get weirder than the moth ball resolution.
Also... that Channel 6 subplot just kinda disappears, if I remember. Vernon was gonna go try to do something and he has this discussion with April about it, but I think the episode just forgot about the whole storyline.

Does Don Turtelli ever reappear after Season 3? He's in, "Case of the Hot Kimono," and, "The Great Boldini" but I don't think we ever see him after that.
It seems like he was replaced by Big Louie and Pinky Mcfingers during Season 4. It actually surprised me when I realize Big Louie didn't appear till Season 4...I always assumed we saw him earlier.

Don Turtelli was only in season 3. He got captured in The Great Boldini and after that, he was never seen again. There was an older version of him in Burne's Blues.

When was the very first episode in the OT that the Turtles first enter and explore Dimension X? (I know it wasn't seasons 1-3 based on the plots.)
After watching so many episodes, I can't seem to narrow down the precise episode because it seems by the later seasons the Turtles find the dimension so familiar. Were they shocked though upon first arriving there (or at least Donatello being scientifically curious) or was that a plot hole of sorts when the Turtles seemingly know where everything is in Dimension X with their initial encounter?

That was Shredder's Mother and they pretty much knew a lot about Dimension X by then. I remember in The Big Blowout when they said the other side of the portal looks like Dimension X so they pretty much somehow knew what it looked like already.

Ever since "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X" when the Turtles saw the portal open during the battle along with encountering Traag, the Turtles seemed to know what/where Dimension X is, and probably in between episodes Michelangelo could have asked Donatello to show where the Neutrinos live.

Thanks Icebot and pannoni1,
I knew the Turtles were obviously familiar with Dimension X WAY before actually entering it (ever since "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X"), but I thought maybe there would have been a phrase or small discussion among them first entering it ("Shredder's Mom" then according to Icebot). Similar to how people know a lot about New York City, Los Angeles or Disney World but when they first arrive its still a fascinating experience.

Baxter's computer first appeared as an onboard computer of a spaceship that was confused as a temple by local archaeologists. The ship fell apart at the end of the episode and Baxter was left to die.
Due to inconsistencies between the syndicated and Saturday series, the next time we see Baxter, his computer WAS a physical computer and he had escaped from the spiderweb to fly through a Dimension X like limbo. Much like how the Technodrome landed upside down on a circular asteroid and the next time we see it it's right side up on an asteroid trapped in a small volcano. :p

What's the problem with that? The small AI-computer was probably part of the spacecraft, controlling all of the other computers inside that spacecraft. Remember it could control the ship kitchen's robot cooks to make Turtle Soap as today's meal. We didn't see everything inside that spacecraft.

Eh, I consider the transition between "Bye, Bye Fly" and "Son of Return of the Fly II" to be a big old continuity error. We just see the ship falling apart, and we don't get an explanation as to how Baxter got out of that alien spider's web.
It doesn't really bother me, though.
As for the computer's name, I've seen the name "Z" or "Zee" used on TVTropes.org and the TMNTWiki, and I've adopted it for personal use (as a Canadian, I read "Z" as "Zed", though). But I can't find any source for the name, which bothers me. Is it just fanon?

I'm pretty sure, yes. But, I won't be surprised if someone who knows better than me says I'm wrong. I suppose it might be something straight from production. I'm just fairly sure the character was never called by name. The closest I recall is Baxter referriong to him numerous times in the CBS eps as "my friend".

Z is the name of the alien computer controling the centuries abandoned alien spaceship in "Bye. Bye Fly". It appears as a computer chip turned desktop with a virtual body in "Son Of Return of The Fly". Z is absent for no known reason in "Landlord of The Flies". Like said above it is a hiccup continuity-wise. unfortunately there are other error like Krang's bubble walker in Get Shredder instead of te andriod body he was left with. Production staff should be able to catch these errors when reading the script. :tgrumble: Anyway, Z makes his third and final appearance in Revenge of The Fly seen in the form a communicator.

Actually, I think that planet he crashes on is a reference to two things:
1. "The Spider and the Fly"
2. Baxter Stockman "being all bark and no bite". All he does in that episode ("Bye, Bye Fly") is acting tough, first scaring away the scientists who believe it's a temple, plan revenge on Shredder and Krang, try to fight off the turtles, but when everything comes around, he's just a "small little fly in the big Universe"

I was always pretty fond of the old show when I was in preschool, but my parents banned me from watching it after an episode or two, and a year or two later the old cartoon was taken off the air. To this day my strongest memory of the 87 series is one of the turtles (I suppose Raphael?) shouting angrily at the other turtles to not trust the Shredder, because "he was the one who turned Splinter into a rat!" (And then running off? I can't remember properly anymore)
I seem to also remember some kind of computer or a crushing conveyor belt, but that may have been from a separate episode.
But I've been trying to catch up on the old 80s series, and I never see any of the turtles get angry or angsty, they just throw around puns and Shredder is usually pretty up-front about wanting to kill the Turtles, there's no deception about wanting to help them or convince them to trust him.
Any ideas which episode it came from?

You left that part out. That was ep5, "Shredder & Splintered". All 20th century kids I know called it "The Shredder Is Splintered" because that was the name of the VHS volume it was on. Also, it makes more sense. :trazz:

The closest I've gotten was in A Thing About Rats, when the turtles blow off steam at the very beginning by saying what they'd like to do to Shredder.
I'm beginning to think I made up that quote myself during a game with some friends on the playground. Weird, because I can remember the exact tone of the turtle voice actor in my head- I must've just taken what I knew at the time and upped the angst.

There was an episode (in the early years) in which Kraang was holding a man hostage at a TV station. Every time the hostage tried to get away, Kraang would use a special ray gun to throw the man to the ground. Exasperated after his third attempted escape, the man replied, "If this keeps up I'm going to have to go see my chiropractor."

Thanks! Took your advice and skimmed through season 2 and I found them! The cels are from one of my favorite episodes as a kid: "Enter: The Fly". The background that I have is not the one from the scene (unless they reused this bit of animation in a later episode using this background). I'm not bothered, given how boring the original background looked - just a blue sky and a few clouds. Splinter wasn't included in my cel, which explains the open space to the right. I noted that Leo and Don are from a few seconds before Mikey and Raph, and that in the cell you can see MUCH more of them. Above the belt is only seen in the episode. In my cel, Mikey and Raph are shifted to the right a bit more. Makes me wonder how much of Raph is there, and maybe I can shift them a bit more so they fill out the scene, should I ever get this framed.

Many of the cels sold through retail had incorrect reproduction backgrounds. I think it's just because whoever packaged them wasn't going through episodes and finding what the correct background was, which would have been extremely time consuming. They were probably just given all the cels and a bunch of backgrounds to choose from and chose whatever looked best.
It's probably also the reason why, since yours is a "double cel" they're incorrectly matched time-wise. The Splinter portion may have been packaged and sold separately. I think it's better without Splinter anyway.

Hey guys, new here.
I recently got back to watching the original TMNT TV Series, the nostalgia is great.
But, if you can help me I would be thankful.
I have two "what ep was that" questions.
They might actually be the same episode though...IDK.
1
The turtles are sneaking/fighting their way in to a building, they come across an "Atlas" style statue carrying the world...but it is a TURTLE instead of Atlas. One turtle (i think Raph) says "I may not know art, but I know what I like".
2
Shredder and Krang are after a jewel/stone...I think. They call it compound or element 338 or some number like that. It is unstable while underground and can possibly power the dimension x portal??? IIRC, the turtles eventually use it to destroy the portal or technodrome....my memory is fuzzy.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
I would love to watch these episodes again!!!

It also happened in Super Irma, the turtles went to a Channel 6 Halloween costume party as themselves.
The Four Musketurtles too.

The one episode i remember watchin loads when i was a kid had the character Rex-1 in it. Think i may of had it on vhs. Iv'e also been having flashbacks of a fighting scene with bebop and rocksteady in and around a funfair with merry-go-rounds and stuff. I have no clue if they're the same episode or not. Was along time ago lol

There were only two episodes that Rex 1 was in: New York's Shiniest and Leonardo the Renaissance Turtle. I'm guessing it might be New York's Shiniest, that had a merry go round at some carnival.

This may be the wrong place, but I was hit by nostalgia and I've been watching the TMNT cartoons again. I've been trying to look for the one line that has stuck in my mind for 20 years - 'Points for Leonardo!'. I can't remember if it was from the movies or the cartoon, but I re-watched the first 2 movies (skipped the 3rd) and it wasn't there.
Was it from the cartoons? And from where?
Hey guys, new here.
I recently got back to watching the original TMNT TV Series, the nostalgia is great.
But, if you can help me I would be thankful.
I have two "what ep was that" questions.
They might actually be the same episode though...IDK.
1
The turtles are sneaking/fighting their way in to a building, they come across an "Atlas" style statue carrying the world...but it is a TURTLE instead of Atlas. One turtle (i think Raph) says "I may not know art, but I know what I like".
2
Shredder and Krang are after a jewel/stone...I think. They call it compound or element 338 or some number like that. It is unstable while underground and can possibly power the dimension x portal??? IIRC, the turtles eventually use it to destroy the portal or technodrome....my memory is fuzzy.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
I would love to watch these episodes again!!!
Both of those are from S3 E11, April's Fool. The compound was Lidium 90 or something like that.

Which episode was it where April O'Neil was about to get shrunk, and she stated that while she wanted to lose weight, she didn't want to lose it that way? Did she ever make any other comments about her weight on the show? There were times where she seemed pretty vain (like when she complained about being a hag in her late twenties), so it was bound to come up, but I just remember that one where she was going to get shrunk specifically.

In the OT, when was the last episode April was working for Channel 6? And then when was the first episode she is noted as being a freelance reporter? Does the show give any explicit explanation as to why she went into freelance reporting?
(I'm assuming it was because Burne Thompson finally had enough of April defending the Turtles and her attracting the Turtles to Channel 6 so many times, which led to the building's ultimate destruction in Season 8's premiere "Get Shredder!")

I know this is probably off the subject, but isn't the fact that the OT Turtles have different birthdays the clearest evidence that they are not biological brothers?
Granted, that point was never in doubt, but I do think it's interesting.
Honestly, I don't thing them having different birthdays proves anything. They were mutated after Splinter found them (or they fell on him, take your pick) and he would have had no way of knowing when they were hatched, and neither would they (they were simple-minded animals until then). I think it was a case of Splinter picking birthdays for them as tots.

Other than "Take Me to Your Leader," did April wear a cold weather coat in any other episode? I remember she wore a blue rain jacket (or something) in "The Irish Jig is Up" and a ski suit in "A Real Snow Job." But I was thinking she might have also worn a yellow overcoat with some white fur trim at some point.

I'm guessing JYX's suggestion of "20,000 Leaks Under the City" is the best bet, although the Turtles' sewer also got flooded during "Leonardo Vs. Tempestra." Shredder and his goons weren't even in that episode though.

In the 1987 series, was Granitor (General Traag's right-hand man) a Lieutenant or a Sergeant? Because in Wikipedia it's saying he was a Lieutenant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%281987_TV_series%29# Villains), but in TMNTpedia it's saying he was a Sergeant (http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Granitor_%281987_TV_series%29). (I assumed Grantior was a Sergeant.)
I know it's a small detail, and I watched "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X" (when Granitor is first introduced), but I couldn't catch anything.
Do any of you know which episode it can be conclusively found in? Or was this military rank given in one of the video game manuals sometime during Turtlemania?
Granitor only appeared in one episode and his name or rank was never mentioned in that episode. The rank Sergeant was from the IDW comics. As far as I can tell the rank Lieutenant was never used in any official material.

Huh... It did say Granitor was a Lieutenant on Wikipedia, but now it is removed. :lol:
Anyways, I figured that Granitor had to possibly have some type of military ranking above being a private, rather than just being a generic Rock Soldier, because I saw Granitor wearing a military medal throughout the "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X" episode. ...But I'm probably sure it was more or less an arbitrary animation decision.
I just didn't know if any, military ranking, Granitor had. :ohwell:

Hmmm, I guess I would have to do some digging if OT Granitor is mentioned by OT General Traag in some episode because I thought Granitor is only visibly seen in "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X".
These are the episodes (with help from TMNTPedia) where the OT Rock Soldiers appear: "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X", "Shredder & Splintered", "Enter The Fly", "Return of the Technodrome", "Michelangelo's Birthday", "Four Turtles and a Baby", "Rock Around The Block", "Shredder Triumphant", "Wrath of the Rat King", and "Turtle Trek"
...I guess I better start watching. :lol:
Plus... I thought Granitor in IDW was a Sergeant, not a LT though. Unless he got promoted or something after this panel (I'm not keeping full attention on IDW though :ohwell:):

I really disliked Burne*not in a hater sense btw since every show has to have someone that riles you badly*. He was always blaming the turtles for everything bad that ever happened in NY. Two of the worst things he did was blame the turtles for Channel 6 News getting blown up (when really it was Shredder and his hench mutants' fault; and there was barely enough time for Splinter to get everyone out), and when the turtles saved Burne and April from Titanus, and Burne was about to change his hater opinion on mutants, but he blew his lid over them wrecking his satellite (I think it was?) when they tried to stop Titanus from mutating the entire city. He was ungrateful as ever, and never once contemplated that if it weren't for the turtles, NY would have been Shredderville! (You'd think he would have learned his lesson after the season 6 finale "Shredder Triumphant!", where Kraang and Shredder basically took over the city, including the station until the turtles came back, Irma went all Rambo, and the villains lost the technodrome and all their resources).

I think most of Burne's frustration was that the Turtles had to use resources of Channel 6 most of the time (which was typically destroyed), rather than using other tools and equipment from other companies, or at least from other competing networks. Furthermore, because of the Turtles' close friendship with April, it always made Channel 6 a target by association. Let's not forget the newly planned building that was under construction, was eventually destroyed in Shreeka's Revenge.
Imagine Burne trying to explain away all those damages and losses to his superiors...;)

I don't think Jeff. Because in news when they say "back to you" they are talking about the main news anchor in the studio. So Jeff is the main guy and april is the field anchor. But Phil could be the guy with the big camera.

And there's the one from Planet of The Turtleoids when Don is passionate about a place where turtles can live in harmony. "If he starts singing, I advise you to switch to another channel." Something like that anyway.

That line was from "The Big Cufflink Caper" from Season 4. :)
Donatello: NOBODY can figure out what's going on!! Cufflinks are vanishing all over the city!! But why?? What could the robbers possibly want!!
Michaelangelo: I know!! They want... cufflinks!!
Raphael: Could we pretend we've never met?

Thanks! I'd watched that episode some time ago during my umteenth romp through the complete OT DVD series. Actually thinking about restarting it after I finish the last 2 seasons shortly.
When were Vernon's, Irma's, and Burne's last name's first mentioned?

Good question!
I think April referred to Burne as "Mr. Thompson" at various points in the first season or at least early into the 2nd season.
I most remember Vernon's last name being mentioned by himself whenever he went on camera. He says it a lot in the Dimension X Story, but that came late in season 4, so he must have done it quite a few times before then.
Irma... eh, I don't know.

Here's a couple posts to help out:
Irma's last name Langinstein is never mentioned in any episode, though its believed to appear on a few scripts/production materials which I haven't seen. However, of the dozen or so scripts of the OT I have, none mention her last name.
Yeah, that's what seemed so peculiar... I know Vernon's last name was said once in Peking Turtle in Season 4, but I always wondered where Irma's last name came from. Thanks pannoni1!

oringal series turtles. Slueth on the loose I believe it was. Who plays Auntie Aggie? Raph says I thought that truck did you in and she says that can't happen I'm the guest star. Was she a big time actress who played her or was it just a funny thing in general

It was just a funny comment in general about guest stars in cartoons, but her character was a parody (as was in Season 3's "Case of the Hot Kimono") of Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) from the TV series: Murder, She Wrote.
Joan Gerber was the voice actor for Agatha Marbles (Aunt Aggie).

Hi Guys!
I'm new here, but have been a fan of TMNT since I was a little kid in the 80s. I've been watching back through the 1987 series (I'm in season 3 right now...so much nostalgia!), and thought of this funny scene but can't remember where it's from...
Here's the scene I can't place:
April is being kidnapped by Shredder (again) but this time they're in a crowd, or at least there are some onlookers. It's outside, during the day,and he's carrying her over his shoulder. So...the thing I remember is her yelling something like "he touched my [not sure what?]", something like breast or rear end, or something...and Shredder gets this hilarious look on his face, like "ruh-roh O_O", and some people in the crowd start hitting him, coming to her defense.
This really struck me as a kid- one, because she's accusing him of sexual harassment, which was kind of shocking for me at that age, but also because...he's carrying her through a crowd of people who don't do anything until she calls out! (LOL) It was so weird...and his reaction is really funny. I kind of want to find this just to watch his reaction.
Does anybody remember this? I swear I didn't imagine this scene! O__o

I don't think they could have gotten past that considering it's a children's show, but maybe they could have disguised it through double entendres or implicit humor. It could take some time for some us to dig through and remember. :ohwell:

I don't think there were, it seems very rare (considering the cost for having a popular star), but the only one who stands out from what I remember, was on Season 4's What's Michelangelo Good For? The actress who played Dr. Jane Goodfellow (http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/What%27s_Michelangelo_Good_For%3F), was Phylicia Rashad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylicia_Rashad). She's well known for playing Clair Huxtable from the very popular 80s comedy show:The Cosby Show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Cosby_Show_characters#Clair_Huxtable). I'm sure it must have been a unique and fun experience for the voice actors, especially Townsend Coleman, since they working with such a well-known star who was involved with the iconic #1 television show (The Cosby Show) at the time (1990).

I really don't remember April ever accusing anyone of touching her in inappropriate ways, and I used to watch the episodes over and over at the time. Are you sure it was TMNT you're remembering? Sometimes our memories can play tricks on us.

Yeah. I don't think that type of incident ever happened on the show either.

Thanks oldmanwinters, MrPliggins and Refractive Reflections! :)
Gosh...I've been googling this, and coming up dry. (The obsessive compulsive in me strikes again)
It's strange to think I could've imagined it. I don't remember exactly what she might have said (although I had thought it was "he touched my breast!" but yeah...seems like it wouldn't have got past the censors), but I remember the look on his face after she says it, and at least one or two guys getting angry and starting to come after him, while she's being carried over his shoulder.
They're both so distinct- April in that yellow outfit and Shredder with his helmet lol! But maybe I super-imposed that image onto something else? I guess it's possible; this was a looong time ago now.
So weird. Thanks for the replies! I really wouldn't want anyone watching every single episode just to find this, but if anyone's memory is spontaneously jogged, I'd appreciate a follow up! :)

That's what I thought. I picked up on the subtleties in the voice, and oh what was the main villains name in that? I forget.
Also how many super hero's did the turtles play? There was Don as the Dark turtle in season 7, Raph thought he was dying so he became one.. was there more?

That's it, Don as the Dark Turtle and Raphal as the Green Avenger.
Unless you count Leonardo as a Musketurtle.

I'm trying to remember instances of OT Irma being a camerawoman. In the series, her job responsibilities are increased from being a receptionist/secretary for Burne to also being camerawoman.
I know in "Four Musketurtles" we see Burne threatening Irma to use a camera for the first time, but I'm trying to remember other episodes that have explicit situations of this. One example I remember is when Irma tries to coach or advise Vernon behind the scenes when he goofs up on a reporting a news story, and another is when she actually makes a sarcastic crack about how she thought being a camerawoman would give her more respect in the workplace but doesn't after Burne yells at her.
Do any of you remember these two scenes and from which particular episodes? Also do you remember any other scenes/episodes besides these two where the show has scenes about her being a camerawoman?
Thanks for the help! :)

Thank you so much Icebot! :) That episode actually answered both of my questions (about advising Vernon, and Irma commenting about her camerawoman promotion)! Appreciate it!
Shredder says "it'll be a cold day when you get the better of me" right after he froze the turtles

I have a feeling it's Burne's Blues. He froze the turtles in that episode.
