Do you like all 3 TMNT cartoons, 2 of the 3, one, or none of them?
 
I enjoy all 3 of the TMNT cartoons because they all offer a drastically different view of the TMNT franchise and I enjoy the characters and episodes of each. While I obviously don't like every single episode (each show has had their share of poor episodes), I can say overall I liked each.

Vote on the poll.

I enjoy all three shows, I also enjoy Next Mutation.

This. I love all 3 cartoons equally, and I also think The Next mutation is pretty funny.

I like 4Kids and the OT, mostly-apathetic towards Nicktoons (and I've seen almost all the current episodes, too).

4Kids I prefer over the OT, though, since 4Kids was better at what it was trying to be than the OT was, and I prefer more serious material overall.

Whatswiththeheadbands? 03-31-2014 02:04 PM

The 4kids series is my favorite. I grew up with it and it still 90% still holds up today.

I am really liking the Nick series so far. There are bad points (like all animated series), but it is my second favorite.

I respect the 1987 series, but it isn't my kind of series. I have no problem with people liking it, but it isn't for me

turtlefanforever 03-31-2014 02:17 PM

Count me in for
 
Original and 4kids, I've actually found myself teetering between which one I like more. But absolutely love them both.

I enjoyed The Next Mutation as well.

Donatello19 03-31-2014 02:48 PM

For the most part I enjoyed all of them, but if I had to pick a least favorite it would probably be 4Kids. So OT and Nick for me, I guess.

BubblyShell22 03-31-2014 04:18 PM

I like all of the cartoons. I wasn't fond of Next Mutation, but I don't count that as a cartoon anyway since it was mostly live action.

Andrew NDB 03-31-2014 04:18 PM

Nickelodeon show is the only one that's really watchable to me, for a variety of reasons.

BabyTurtles 03-31-2014 04:23 PM

I love 4 kids and Nick....I don't really care much for the OT.

turtletoons81 03-31-2014 04:34 PM

I enjoy all three equally rather than picking one or two.

snake 03-31-2014 04:38 PM

I enjoy all three, but I like nick the best. I don't like the OT as much because the fans who only like the OT and nothing else are extremely obnoxious.

Vicky82 03-31-2014 04:40 PM

I like all 3 cartoons, the Nick show is my favourite.

The Next Mutation was ok but it was bit wierd and the backround noises was annoying, i'm also thinking about watching it again.

Icebot 03-31-2014 05:42 PM

I like original and 4kids mainly because of the animation, not too crazy about CGI.

Bossa Nova 03-31-2014 05:44 PM

I'm not really sure which to vote. I don't particularly care for the Nick cartoon at all, but I wouldn't say I dislike ALL of it as there are a few gems here and there sprinkled throughout that capture my fancy. Same goes for the 80's toon, I don't really like it that much, but I respect it for being the first TMNT animated series and I know there are a few hidden elements that will appeal to me. But I do greatly enjoy the 2k3 series and I'm easily able to look over the aspects that annoyed me.

Creativecreature31 03-31-2014 06:03 PM

OT and Nick for me! Meh 4Kids was alright but it got too dark for my tastes. Also I just HATED 4Kids TV with a passion! So many of my favorite animes were butchered by that piece of crap company! >=(

Eiko 03-31-2014 06:09 PM

I did enjoy OT and first season of the 4kids next mutation not really. Nick yes love it.

thebrownranger 03-31-2014 06:12 PM

I pretty much love all of them except the Nick show. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, but it's just really whatever to me. Personally, there's only a few moments in 2k12 that make it enjoyable for me. Next Mutation lacked substance, but I still love it just for the nostalgic fan-boy feelings.

^Pretty much my opinion.

Shark_Blade 03-31-2014 06:29 PM

OT and Nick. 4kids is dull for the most part imo.

- Utrom Shredder (Ew, lame, gross and un-intimidating)
- Casey Jones (this Casey was like a brainless cliche jock as opposed to the loveable psychopath in OT. Even Nick Casey is better)
- Hun
- excessive magic (hate it)
- laser guns, aliens/planetary travel in general (ditto)
- Fast Forward (*groans*)
- disgraceful treatment of OT turtles in Turtles Forever

MsMarvelDuckie 03-31-2014 08:15 PM

Have to vote my love to all three. I teeter between the OT and 4Kids as to which is my favorite, but I'd probably say 4Kids. Oddly, while I was initially on the fence with Nick, it has grown on me, and I now eagerly wait for each new episode. And of course, the OT will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. So, yeah- all three (almost) equally!

Leofan26 03-31-2014 09:34 PM

I like all three, 4Kids and the original more to the Nick series but I love them all :D

Galactus 03-31-2014 09:41 PM

Like all three.

Surely there was waaay more of that stuff in the OT than in the 4kids show.

Not really on the magic part, but the OT had a fair amount of aliens.

tmntpower1988 04-01-2014 10:09 AM

2k3 series is the best, I could watch it over and over again. I grew up with the OT but I don't like it as much now but it can still be enjoyable at times. The Nick series has it's moments too but I find myself hating it at times. Don't like the way they turned some of the characters into teenagers, the turtle's personality at times make them unlikeable to me, the Kraang are annoying when they talk and not a fan of CGI either.

Metalwolf 04-01-2014 10:17 AM

I voted Nick only. I grew up with the OT and I still do like it some, but not as much as I used to. I think Nick surpasses it in quality.

TMNachoT 04-01-2014 10:22 AM

I love the 2K3 series. I kinda like the first season of the original toon, i watched it just for nostalgia. Regarding the Nick show, I don“t like the cgi animation, but is not a bad show, it is just that i have not the time to watched it, bu 2K3 es my fav by far. I actually purchased the spanish dvd set of the first season!!

Discogod 04-01-2014 10:32 AM

2K3 is still my favourite TMNT cartoon, with the Nick close behind - the more I watch it, the more I like it. Don't care for the OT at all, although I do dig some of the characters/designs.

FoxBoxKid 04-01-2014 10:58 AM

I love the 4Kids show and the Nick show, but I'm not a fan of the unfortunately popular original show.

Jester 04-01-2014 11:22 AM

Like all 3 for different reasons and to varying degrees.

turtlefanforever 04-01-2014 11:48 AM

I gotta understand
 
The people that don't like 4 kids, is it cause of the more serious tone? Essentially these are all kids shows, but 4kids seemed to be more aimed at teens and possibly adults as well, and got away from the constant jokes and such unlike the two counterparts.

Three very different shows and I like each one of them for what they are.

Mind elaborating why? I woulda thought you were a comics only guy.
Anyway I like em all for various reasons. The least enjoyable show was defenitely 2k3 after season 4. OT had a good chunk of terrible episodes, but truly great ones as well.

1987 04-01-2014 03:26 PM

i like the original toon and 4kids toon. i cant stand how they look on the nick series and if i dont like how something looks, it makes it really hard to like the show. they are by far the scrawniest turtles we've ever seen and their faces just look flat out weird the eyes are too round and they really didnt need colored pupils or gaps in their teeth, and i dont like their overall designs those huge wraps around the forearms etc and the way mikey acts and talks like he's 5 years old.

on a happier note, nick mikey is extremely cute and adorable :P
but thats part of the reason i think im too old for the nick series, its just too childish. they look like baby turtles :trazz:

Like I've always said, the Nick TMNT show isn't the "real" Turtles to me, but it's an entertaining, funny show to watch with my daughter. And it's well made.

The Fred Wolf show is unwatchable save for in small amounts when I'm drunk enough and waxing nostalgic. The 4Kids show isn't even that, unless I'm just in the mood to Clockwork Orange punish myself in a chair by watching its horrible Playmates-ized bastardizations of stories I love from the Mirage comics.

shuriken 04-01-2014 05:37 PM

^He's entitled to his opinion. I disagree but I respect it. The demograph I feel was 7-13 IMO.

Fair enough. While I enjoyed seeing some of these stories from Mirage issues, some were severely watered down.

RaphAndDonnie 04-01-2014 06:29 PM

I like all three cartoons to various degrees. The Nick cartoon is my favorite, followed by the OT and then 4Kids, even though I've only seen a couple of season 1 episodes from it.

Cipher 04-01-2014 06:31 PM

I really only like Next Mutation. The others are too silly for me.
