I still do, but haven't in awhile...MAINLY 'cause my DVD-player/recorder started acting kinda WONKY awhile back, and I've been afraid to put ANY of my DVDs (HOME-recorded ones INCLUDED!) in the thing!

When I get my new comp up and going, though, I'm likely to have a TMNT-watching marathon, curtesy of it's DVD-player and my nice new 19" wide-screen monitor. Which DEFINITELY beats my l'il 13" TV all hollow!:lol:;):D

I watch the old toon on a fairly regular basis. Unlike alot here I watch the OT for more than just nostalgia. Mostly to relax and just for pure enjoyment. I actually apprciate some of the humor better now as an adult than even when I was younger. Actually, I think I get way more amusement out of it than I think is proper for gal my age. heh!

I guess I just let those episodes slide on pure nostalgia, since as a kid I always really liked all the other mutant figures and waited patiently to see their cartoon appearances.

Hmmm... My friends all love the movies, but never ask to watch either show. And the only friend I've got to dig the comics is my girlfriend, she likes most of Tales volume 2 and some other stuff.

i watch it all the time.. like 20 mins ago i had season 4 on whilst eatin taco bell..

Scandia 10-30-2009 07:54 AM

I rewatched it in 2007 and have not checked it out again since.

I love popping in the DVDs every now and then to watch an episode. Normally I keep them at my parents' house where I keep my comics and toys but I decided to take the DVDs to my apartment where I plan to watch them on my computer over the next couple months. One of the reasons I am doing this is I'm in the middle of recreating my TMNT themed desktop, and I want to make some new WAV file clips of the show.

Then I start over. This takes me over a year normally (since I have other things to do/watch), so when I get around Justice Leauge I have to watch a few Turtles episodes. I normally watch the bad ones so I can skip over them when I get back around to it.

Forgot to mention, I always try to keep up on my "occasional viewing"

Definitely watching "Super Irma" tommorow
"The Turtles and The Hare" on Easter
"Michaelangelo's Birthday" on my b-day
"A Real Snow Job"/"Take me to your leader" on snow days... Like I have them anymore


And a few others, I think.

TMNT-Leonardo 10-30-2009 02:27 PM

I watch it whenever I get the chance too. I still enjoy it for the nostalgia and because it's fun.

Sword Slicin' Leo 10-31-2009 09:22 AM

I am sure i will watch it until i die...

Lynn 11-04-2009 05:38 PM

I do. Sometimes I'll watch a couple of episodes and then stop for awhile.

veemonjosh 11-04-2009 06:38 PM

I'm still in the process of watching it through the DVD releases. With the full season 7 set out now, I'll hopefully be able to soon move forward in the series (ever since I got to the CBS episodes, I've actually been watching them Saturday mornings to recreate the right atmosphere).

I have been considering doing another weeknight run like I did in early 2007 with the first 80 episodes, but I guess I just haven't found the time to do it yet (and I haven't decided if I should start from episode 1 again or do a run picking up from where I left off 2 1/2 years ago).

discordiatookie 11-04-2009 08:02 PM

being in the UK, we only have seasons 1 & 2 released from the original toon so far. I picked 'em up the other day and watched the first coupla discs with my two year old niece, who seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

I was quite surprised on how many episodes I actually remembered from my childhood. I really dug them, every bit as fun as I recalled, and they have some really special moments.

Kennedy enjoyed them too.

If you ask her what the sheep says? "Baaa"

What the cow says? "Moo"

What the cat says? "Meow"

What the turtle says? "Towabunda!"

And if you ask her what turtles' eat? I asked this very evening, whole-heartedly expecting (after around 10 episodes in a row the other day) the answer to be "Pizza!", she replied with: "Poops on toast."

kev trashcan 11-05-2009 04:54 AM

XD Towabunda... :lol: That's precious. But, yeah, it did kinda look like Michaelangelo was spreading rabbit pellets on his breakfast in ep 2. :sick:

Vivi 11-05-2009 06:51 AM

Just obtained discs 7,8 & 9. Will be enjoying them on the weekend. It may need to be garnished with a few drinks.

tipet 11-05-2009 07:47 AM

I watch it a lot of nights trying to impove my English...I hope it would be helpful.

magidkaiser 12-28-2009 07:44 AM

every night i watch one tmnt episode in my mini mp4 player before i go to bed




Godzilla 12-28-2009 08:23 AM

I watch the old toon here and there.

Been watching 'em more here recently, though I know it's due to enjoying Turtles Forever. ;)

Ginny 12-28-2009 01:03 PM

I LOVE watching the Turtles now, especially when I get home from work. Nothing better to take your mind off of wicked long commutes and medical codes! :D

Dejablue 12-29-2009 12:38 AM

On average I may watch 5 different episodes a month. Eh maybe 3. I've dropped off a touch.

And its usually only when I'm in a very turtely mood.

ryukenden 12-29-2009 01:13 AM

Once in a while I do. Just the first few seasons.

prophecy718 12-29-2009 01:52 PM

I just finished the last dvd set. I'm just waiting until the next set comes out (hopefully).

tmntman 12-29-2009 02:24 PM

I'm watching/rewatching all of them now, mostly as background noise while working on other projects. I've gotten up to season six. But I never watched many of the episodes past about season 4 when they first ran, so a lot of them are new to me.

norinrad2 12-29-2009 07:20 PM

I've watched all the old tmnt cartoons & own them all on dvd. As much as I love all the characters I can't say I'm too crazy about the old show though I do appreciate the humor more now than when I originally saw it as a kid on tv. The 2003-2009 series is alot more impressive. From the old show, the original pilot was great & while it was vastly different to the mirage studios stuff it was still done pretty well. After it became a regular syndicated show it became more of a comedy w/ some action.

SwordofTengu 12-29-2009 09:21 PM

Yes, I still watch it, I got Season 7 for Christmas (it actually has the European Vacation episodes on the first 3 discs).

siamese goat 12-30-2009 10:10 AM

Found the dvd sets at best buy at a reasonable price.
I am starting on season 4.

Luzmagica 12-30-2009 11:24 AM

Im getting all seasons step by step (thanks to a forum“s friend :D ).....sometimes you can see on public Spanish-Tv old cartoons in currently shows...and they use mix old cartoons with 2k3 TMNT....a mess!!

Archon_Turtle 12-30-2009 03:15 PM

I usually put the old toon on as background when I have something annoying to do around the house (such as clean, organize the collection, or work)
