Jester's Reference Guide to the TMNT

TMNT Episode Guide

Episode 1: Turtle Tracks
Written by: David Wise and Patti Howeth

Cast:
• James Avery: Shredder
• Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo, Foot Critic 1 (“Impudent dog, bow before our beloved master!”), Fake Teeth/Goofy Noses Vender,
• Cam Clark: Leonardo, Rocksteady, Sound Technician
• Pat Fraley: Vernon Fenwick, Burne Thompson, Card Shark
• Barry Gordon: Donatello, Bebop, Foot Critic 2? (“For this misdeed you should be banished from the Foot Clan…”),

• Peter Renaday: Splinter, Professor (“It’s made in Japan.”), Master Teacher (“I say throw the bum out!”), Ninja Behind the Counter,


Mistakes:
1. When April attempts to leave the Lair, she is stopped by Donatello, who speaks with Raphael’s voice.
2. Occasionally the top of the Turtles plastrons are green when seen in the opening at the top of their trench coats.
3. While the Turtles slide down the rope bridge to the neighboring roof, Donatello’s wrist bands are his skin tone, not purple.
4. After the Turtles slide down the rope and onto the neighboring rooftop, there are 2 Leonardos and 2 Raphaels. There is no sign of Michaelangelo.
5. Though one of Leonardo’s swords is still on the roof, it appears and reappears in its scabbard throughout the rest of the episode.
6. Despite Michaelangelo being seen caring only one set of nunchucks, in battle he uses two pairs. This happens off and on throughout the first season.

Pizza References:
1. Strange toppings introduced. (Pepperoni and ice cream, jelly beans and mushrooms, anchovies and peanut butter, sashimi, whipped cream, and bananas and sausage specifically)
2. Michaelangelo calls himself, “Master of the whirling pizzas.”
3. The Ninja Pizza Pizzeria
4. The Turtles take nothing seriously, aside from pizza.

Catchphrase Countdown:
1. Shredder: “What the Devil!”
2. Michaelangelo: “Pizza Time!”
3. Shredder calls the punks “idiots” and “Cretans”.
4. Raphael: “Out of your shell”
5. Michaelangelo: “Cowabunga!”

Pop Culture References:
1. Raphael: “Try again Mr. Wizard!”

(A parody of Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca)

Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
1. Donatello: “I love saying lines like that!”

Wacky Inventions:
1. Mutagen


Notables:
1. Krang doesn’t appear in this episode.
2. Pat Fraley voices Vernon Fenwick for the five episode pilot. In the sixth episode, Return of the Shredder (the first episode of season one), Peter Renaday takes over Vernon’s voice.


Episode 2: Enter the Shredder
Written by: David Wise and Patti Howeth

Cast:
@ James Avery: Shredder,
@ Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo,

@ Rob Paulsen: Raphael,

@ The Robot Rovers sound to be voiced by multiple cast members.


Mistakes:
1. Leonardo speaking in Raphael’s voice: “I gotta feelin’ we’re in Kansas anymore, Uncle Toto.”
2. As Shredder says, “Indeed he is.” In response to Donatello’s mussing that Splinter’s in trouble, Michaelangelo’s bandana changes colors from orange to purple.
3. When Raphael says, “Take your time why don’t ya!” as Donatello causes the moving walls to retract, his bandana goes from red to orange.
4. Michaelangelo shrieks a warning to Raphael, in what sounds like Raphael’s own voice.
5. When Raphael’s voice says “More bad news,” Leonardo’s head moves suggesting he’s saying the line.
6. When Michaelangelo says, “Jump for it!” his bandana is red, and changes as the Turtles jump.
7. When Bebop and Rocksteady bust through the pavement to face the Turtles, Bebop’s shirt is yellow instead of red.
8. Leonardo, in the fight with Bebop and Rocksteady, jumps in the air with his sword ready to cut Bebop’s gun. When he comes back in to shot, he’s wearing red and slices the gun. Raphael, in his trademark red, kicks Bebop in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then Raphael somehow is able to jam his sai into Rocksteady’s gun as Bebop continues to fall off screen.
9. As Rocksteady tries to uses his teeth to get out of the zoo cage, his nose is seen behind the bar he’s “chewing”.
10. Raphael’s “R” is clearly visible as the Turtles talk to April, but Michaelangelo’s “M” is missing.


Pizza References:
1. Pizza for breakfast (topped with Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran, and Choco-Puffs)
2. Michaelangelo: “Now that’s what I call a serious pizza!”

Catchphrase Counter:
1. Shredder: “That’s quite a brain you’ve got, Krang.”
Krang: “Of course it is, it’s all I’ve got.”

5. Shredder: “You idiots!”
6. Rocksteady: “Say your prayers, Toitles.”

1. Michaelangelo: “That dude’s drivin’ Shay Stadium around under the city!”
(A reference to the baseball stadium in NYC, home of the New York Mets.)
2. Leonardo/Raphael: “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Uncle Toto.”
(A obvious reference to the Wizard of Oz)

Wacky Inventions:
1. The Shredder’s Robots
2. The Technodrome

Any helps or corrections welcome.

Nice job! I like the extensive voice casts and all the details about the episodes. The only suggestion I have is to maybe note the source of each of the pop culture references as you did for the second one for the first episode. Keep up the great work!

Oh wow. You're going to do a huge job, Jester boy.

Other than some grammatical junk, it's really good. But, you need to put the extra A in Michaelangelo's name. That's important Ninja Turtles history. :P

In the cast list:
"Tress MacNeille: Gun Totting Granny, Manhattan Security Services Receptionist"

That would be Gun Toting Nanny. Just a typo that jumped out. :)

Good Point Krang. It was the plan, I just haven't goten around to puting the refrence to the refrence there.

Gobo, I wasn't sure if I should keep the "a"...I guess i will.

6. Shredder’s neck is purple rather than flesh-tone for most of the episode.
7. Donatello says “So, if there are hundreds of them now, but his bandana is orange.
8. As the Turtles, April and Splinter run for the ropes, 2 Mousers block the window. Michaelangelo kicks one, the other just vanishes.
9. Using stock footage from earlier in the episode at the end several errors occur. April is seen driving in the shot before, but in the reused footage Michaelangelo is driving. Also where Donatello talking in the clip the first time makes sense, here Raphael’s voice is heard saying the lines about Michaelangelo eating too much pizza, and Donatello’s mouth moves.

Pizza References:
1. Michaelangelo attempts to make instant pizza when the Turtles ransack April’s apartment.
2. Raphael: “Michaelangelo, I do believe you’ve finally had one pizza too many.”

Mistakes:

4. Again in this episode, Michaelangelo goes from carrying one pair of nunchucks to two and back again.
5. While in the jar, the Turtles weapons disappear and reappear.

Pizza References:
1. Michaelangelo’s Shredder disguise is made of old pizza tray
2. Michaelangelo: See if that gizmo has a setting for food, bud. I could use a pizza break.
Raphael: Will you cool it with the pizzas, we’re after something big!

4. When the tiny Turtles are attacked by the fish, Michaelangelo swears of anchovy pizzas. Raphael, ever the optimist, says Michaelangelo may never eat another pizza ever.

Episode 8: It Came from Beneath the Sewers
Written by: Larry Parr

Cast:
@James Avery: Shredder
@Townsend Coleman: Michaelangelo

@Renae Jacobs: April O’Neil, Daughter?, Boy 1

3. When the Turtles pass the kids with the fragment, their teeth are colored red.
4. When Michaelangelo pulls out the mini ladder while the Turtles are clowning, his wrist band is missing.
5. Before Shredder jumps the kids with the fragment, their skin tones are switched.
6. Shredder, earlier in the episode, says Baxter threw out the fragment from the previous episode and asks Krang to help him find it, leading to the kids who found it. When Shredder and Baxter return to their hideout, Shredder test the crystal to see what its special power is, but in the previous episode we learned it causes things to shrink (and possibly the exact opposite, grow like in the case of the plant in this episode). Wouldn’t Shredder have already known this and not need to test the fragment?
7. When Shredder uses April’s Turtle Com to contact the Turtles, it’s not the compact style, but the same style as the Turtles carry.
8. While on the Turtle Com with Shredder Donatello’s teeth are red.
9. While Raphael is shooting the alien plant from the Turtle Van, Donatello turns down an alley, and Raphael’s gear turns orange.

Pizza References:
1. When the Turtles arrive at the carnival, Michaelangelo hopes the fragment is found near a pizza stand since he’s “so hungry [he’s] hollow”.
2. While debating a plan to rescue April, Michaelangelo mentions a pizza break to help him think, which lead to the Turtles deciding to come to April’s aid dressed as pizza delivery boys.
3. At the end of the episode the Turtles scarf a pizza made with “everything except green veggies.”

Pop Culture References:
1. When Shredder tells the boys with the fragment he’s from “Dimension X, in a far off galaxy.” They respond that they aren’t scared since they’ve seen every episode of Star Trek.

Notables:
1. Krang recalls Shredder to the Technodrome to examine the crystal fragment at the beginning of this episode.
2. Bebop and Rocksteady do not appear in this episode.

Mistakes:
1. Despite being on screen for about 2 seconds, the bank robbers the Turtles thwart change voices.

9. Donatello is driving the van. April is to his right, then Raphael, and Michelangelo. Leonardo is in the back. We pull in close to Donatello. When we pull out, Michaelangelo is missing entirely. Upon returning from the commercial, all 5 are seated in front, with Leonardo between Michaelangelo and Raphael.
10. Leonardo’s voice comes out of Raphael’s mouth when he says, “Shredder got control of it.”
11. While the Turtles march on foot to Shredder’s hideout, Michaelangelo is holding what looks like one nunchuck handle in his hands.
12. Shredder plans to open a portal with out the help of Krang, yet he contacts Krang to gloat over how soon the portal will be operational.
13. While Michaelangelo’s taking out the Shredder’s video feed, his bandana goes green and his head goes orange and back again.

16. When Leonardo says, “That’s it April, you’d better take cover,” his mouth doesn’t move.
17. Leonardo is shown to April’s right, seconds later it’s Raphael, then it’s Leonardo again, then Raphael.

19. When Raphael says, “Oh, another robot!” he’s colored purple.
20. Thanks to stock footage, Leonardo’s mouth doesn’t move when he says, “Get ready!” In fact, you can hear the sound effect for when he draws his katanas but you never see the action, just the Turtles, April and Splinter munching on pizza.

Mistakes:
1. When Leonardo spots Baxter on the streets, he goes from having 3 fingers on his right hand, to 4.
2. Despite having his weapons transmogrified by the Eye, Leonardo’s swords appear in his belts throughout the first bout with Shredder.
3. Michaelangelo’s bandana tie flaps in the breeze while on the back of the dragon, Leonardo’s doesn’t.
4. Before the commercial break Raphael is sai-less, thanks to the Eye of Sarnath. When we return from the commercial break, you can see them in his hands and belt.
5. When the cops arrive on the scene, there’s an extra bit of green coming of the side of Raphael’s head.
6. Baxter turns an abandoned building into a “veritable Taj Mahal” complete with golden minarets, but the Eye has no effect on gold. Can it create gold out of nothing?
7. Splinter drives the Turtle Van. (It is established later in “Enter: The Fly” that Splinter can’t drive.)

Pizza References:
1. The Turtles use pizza delivery boy disguises again in this episode. Michaelangelo’s warned not to eat the props by Leonardo.

3. The TV in Blodget shows parodies of the Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks and even the Turtles themselves (mixed with a little Rambo).

Wacky Inventions:
1. Alien Crystal Detector (Sarnathometer) Mark 3
2. Baxter’s Rear View Glasses
3. Baxter’s Multi-Function Ray Gun (Disintegrates the Turtles’ sewer worker costumes and generates a hand and foot shaped beam to get the helmet from Blodget.)

Notables:

Should I do a "Catchphrase Counter"?

These are really cool, man. Keep it up.

Never ceases to amaze me that there are so many mistakes in every single episode.

Dang. That's awesome. To be comprehensive, I'd do a catchphrase dealy. Of course, it'd take forever for me to get around to it. But, I'd love to be able to look at a list someday, and think, "so, that's how many times whoever has always wanted to say that or the Turtles called themselves amphibians". That'd just be too cool for words. :D

Wanna help? I was gonna ask someone if they'd be willing to do the "Catchphrase Counter"...:P

What do you mean by "girly grunt"?

This is great!

Another notable for the last one, at least for me, is that the electrical monster created by Baxter is similar to the one created by Tempestra in Season 4. I've never watched them back-to-back to see how similar they are though. They're obviously not related to each other at all though.

The Girly Grunt...
 

You asked...and here it is. I used only the 2 from Evil Eye because I couldn't get the Shrinking Turtles episode to import into Movie Maker.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...romEvilEye.jpg

How in the world did the editors let an error like that slip?

Surely they had enough Turtle grunts to choose from!

LMAO! I never noticed that before. hahaha! That's hilarious!

Oh Gobster, I wasn't really thinking that extensive either...mainly "Pizza time!" "Cowabunga!" and "You Idiots!" or "Mutant morons!" but I guess "I always wanted to say that" and it's variants or the many misuses of the word amphibians would also work.

Didn't have time to look through the whole thread, but:

I thought the voice of Donatello was the guy who voiced 'Foot Critic 2'.

It's possible...like I said, I'm really just guessing. There are others I'm not sure about.

Not trying to be too critical here, but did Pat Fraley really do Vernon's voice in the first season? To me it just sounds like Peter Renaday changed his inflection (if that's the right word I'm looking for) after first season.

I need to get a life or something :ohwell:

EDIT: After checking the IMDB, it appears you're 100% correct.

Yeah, I'm not sure where I heard it but I heard they swapped. At first I thought like you, that Peter just modified how he read Vernon...not so.

Oh, I did change the Foot Critic 2, so feel free to fact check those voice acting credits all day long. I welcome the corrections.

EDIT: I'm working on the obviously pizza themed episode "The Case of the Killer Pizzas" right now. Should I list it as one big pizza reference?

I'll be going back to the past few episodes, since I did decide to do the "Catchphrase Countdown." Here are episodes 11 and 12.

Cool list but one thing I noticed for episode two.

Considering the fact that they are obviously in New York City. Wouldn't that line refer to Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets. What New Yorker human or turtle is gonna know some stadium in England.

True, that came up due to my misspelling of Shay (Shea) I'll fix it....I thought something was wrong, but I found no references to NYC since I misspelled Shea.

Thanks SLASH!!!

The list is looking great so far, Jester. Would you mind if I stickied this thread?

Please do.
