Let's hear everyone's opinion on what their least favourite episode is. By definition, something that is unmemorable, boring and just plainly not entertaining.
My vote would definately have to go for "Raphael Knocks'em Dead". That's probably the worst episode of the TMNT show. Not only does it have a 30's gangster in the suburbs of New York, but also Baxter's twin and a laughter amplification ray? And let's not forget all the kidnapped comedians.

What?! You don't like this episode? I think it's hilarious, but not for the reasons you might expect.
My friends and I think it's very funny how all the other comedians had better material than Raphael, and he's supposed to be Mr. Funny Turtle in the series.
And the old-school gangsters are delightful. I love a show that can 1) not only poke fun at itself, but 2) also poke fun at other genres as well. The original cartoon proved that it never took itself too seriously.
But to each his own. I liked this episode, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.
-----
Contrary to popular belief, there are some episodes that I'm not particularly fond of regarding the old show. And one that immediately springs to mind is an example from the fourth season, "What's Michaelangelo Good For?"
I could rant and rave about all the stupid things this episode brought to the table, but I won't; I'll just mention one thing. There is a line in the episode where the writers tease that Dr. Goodfellow has a crush on Michaelangelo, and our Party Dude says something along the lines of, "Yeah, I know I'm irresistible!"
What, did the writers think this exchange would be funny? I don't like the imagery it creates at all; Michaelangelo and Dr. Goodfellow getting it on, resulting in a bunch of human-turtle hybrids running around all over the place is just wrong. I don't want to see that on my favorite cartoon show.

Well, it's true - that bit of comedy is rather bad, but in all seriousness, it is quite funny that a woman should contemplate any sort of romantic involvment with a mutant turtle and vice versa. But I believe that sort of stuff is most likely the sort of material for a "Lost"/"Unreleased" sorta episode that the studio did while completely on drugs and drunk beyond all logical thought.
I would have to say my least favorite episode was the one where Shredder hired all the old bad guys to come back, work together, and beat the turtles. It was just a cheesy attempt to bring some baddies back, and then it ended terribly! I don't remember the name, but it was later on in the show...

Yeah the last season generally wasn't all that great. But that happens to a lot of shows.

Personally i really like night of the rogues.Then SHAME ON YOU!
That episode was so flawed and cheesy; it had bad dialogue for one.
How the heck did Tempestra come back? Why did Scumbug say he "returned" when that was his first appearance? How in the world did Shredder rebuild Chromedome all of a suddent? Since when did Leatherhead decide to come back?
I rest my case.I would have to say my least favorite episode was the one where Shredder hired all the old bad guys to come back, work together, and beat the turtles. It was just a cheesy attempt to bring some baddies back, and then it ended terribly! I don't remember the name, but it was later on in the show...Night of the RoguesYeah, see my above comment...

"Enter Mutagen Man"
It still creeps me out just thinking about it. Imagine the horror when I realized they made a toy of him... Poor guy, his life sucked before and it sure didn't get better. At least he got turned back into a human... just not himself (which could be a good thing but not when they guy he looks like finds out).

Sheesh, what is all this hatred towards "Case of the Killer Pizzas" about? This episode, by many fans, is considered one of the classics; may I ask why so many people here on the board dislike it?

Night of the Rouges was an odd episode but I still say Artless is the worst. Aliens that look like potatoes trying to steal Earth art with their magic and the turtles can't even touch them. Another really great question about Night of the Rouges is why would any of those villians care about money? Don't most of them steal when they need stuff?

I think i was the only one who didnt like it.
The entire episode, Night of the Rogues, had a lot of holes in it. Somebody already mentioned Tempestra and Chromedome, and then just now the money. But I remember thinking there were a lot of other holes when I watched it not too long ago... Now I just have to remember what they were...

It's the old TMNT, whats not to like? In other words, I like all of them.
Why did Scumbug say he "returned" when that was his first appearance?
Maybe he was in one of those 5 missing eps... Stop hitting me! It was just a suggestion! But, as far as I can remember, ENTER: THE FLY is my least favorite. Maybe I was traumatized by all the kids at my school at the time yelling, "HERE'S GAZAI IN YOUR EYE!" several times every day at recess. I get tired of watching the ep very easily too. That's weird since I love all the other Fly-eps.

Maybe he was in one of those 5 missing eps...I'm pretty sure that even if that were the case, the scriptwriters wouldn't have written an episode so far ahead of that.

Aliens that look like potatoes trying to steal Earth art with their magic and the turtles can't even touch them.That sure makes for a better plan than the fragmented "Night of the Rogues"...

Was "Night of the Rouges" the one with all the villians?

At least Night of the Rouges had Shredder and Krang in it. I love how Shredder throws Bebop and Rocksteady in the storage room so they can't interfere and then they break out and save Shredder and Krang when the other villians are after them. Here's another flaw, what the heck happend to all the villians when they just ran off in all directions?

That isn't a flaw. That's a question. I sometimes wonder if you only look for things to complain about. "Anger is a poison that clouds the mind."

And if we didn't look for things to complain about this would be a really short thread....
