Things missed most from the old show?
 
What do you miss most from the old show?

Dane E5R 08-12-2003 05:38 AM

Probably the original theme song.

damnhooligan 08-12-2003 06:04 AM

Raphael's enthusiastic sarcasm.

It's far more subdued (and dark) nowadays, which isn't necessarily bad.

Shellfox 08-12-2003 06:11 AM

Honestly I miss all the mutants and Aliens and wierd stuff that the show provided

Sparvid 08-12-2003 06:24 AM

Well, let's see...

Krang. He was a great villian and had some of the best lines, ever.

:kgrin:

That Matt Guy 08-12-2003 08:14 AM

Everything.

Quiller-Bee 08-12-2003 08:59 AM

The old theme song and . . . well, that's it.

Jephael 08-12-2003 09:03 AM

Lets face it "Heroes in a Half-Shell" sounded alot catchier than "Turtles Count it Off!" but there were other things I missed about the show. Rocksteady and Bebop were always my favorite villians, because they were so funny!

Quiller-Bee 08-12-2003 09:06 AM

I love the new show, but I never have warmed up to the new theme song. It's just not as catchy, in my opinion. The old theme song is a cartoon classic for sure.

Jephael 08-12-2003 09:09 AM

I kinda like how it sounds though when they say the line "Never fight unless someone else starts!"

Karpo_007 08-12-2003 09:22 AM

I don't really miss anything since I have all the episodes. If I want to see something again, I watch it[wich pretty much limits to the first season].

Raven 08-12-2003 10:59 AM

nothing really, i like the new show alot, i really dont think of the old one anymore.

Dr. Doom 08-12-2003 12:56 PM

The theme, that's it. The old show was great when I was 5, but I don't think it holds up very well now. I can't relate to it anymore really.

jeff the cheff 08-12-2003 02:38 PM

i miss everything. I miss the voices a lot.. i dont like mikeys voice as much in the new show

XERO 08-12-2003 06:18 PM

What do I miss about the old show? The fact that it's not back on television.

I mean, COME ON!!! :x What are they so afraid of?

Do they think the kids will get confused or something?

Kid Icarus 08-12-2003 06:42 PM

the theme song, and the random mutant of the day.

Deathknight 08-12-2003 07:22 PM

I miss the comedy, I wish that the new toon was more like the 1st movie. It had the perfect blend of comedy and action. The other thing I miss is the old theme song of course. Suprisingly I don't miss Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady. When they are in their places in the old toon they are the best but they just wouldn't fit at all in the new toon. Rocksteady and Bebop wouldn't live long enough to have a good career with the Shredder and there's no way Shredder would let Krang push him around like he does in the old cartoon. Lately, I've only been watching the old toon though.

Krang : "Someone has to clean up this mess..."
Bebop: "If we close our eyes they'll never find us."

uviuar 08-13-2003 03:00 AM

eyeballs :|

I mean, i get that they are tryin to make the turtles look cooler or tougher or whatever with the evil empty eyes look. But it just aint workin. Havin eyes makes them more personable, and they look plenty mean and hardcore in the original intro/seasons with eyeballs when theyre pissed.

Karpo_007 08-13-2003 06:43 AM

I guess it isn't for all, but they wanted to make them look more like the original characters. Im pretty sure majority is happy.

I'm happy with it. I think they look a lot better.

Leo656 08-13-2003 07:12 AM

I just don't get it. I mean, it makes sense when Batman or Robin's eyes disappear when they put their masks on, since they have night vision apparatus and stuff built into their masks which conceals their eyes; it's more than just a visual thing (though I'm sure it started that way). I just don't get why when the TMNT wear masks, their eyes vanish. I know I think too much... Personally I always draw them with eyes, it's easier to convey emotion and expression that way.

Karpo_007 08-13-2003 07:14 AM

My guess is, that since it was originally a parody of the Super Hero comics at the time, they made the eyes the same way.

Tokka-B 08-14-2003 01:11 PM

The comedy, Krang's voice, the old theme, pizza, the list goes on and on...

Donatello007 08-15-2003 02:43 PM

I really miss the old voices. And as uviuar said EYEBALLS.

Dr. Doom 08-15-2003 02:50 PM

I can't take the old voices seriously, they're way too goofy and cartoonish (yanno, even tho it is a cartoon)

jeff the cheff 08-21-2003 12:27 PM

OH YEAH!! I miss the pizza a lot. A big part of the turtles is the pizza..which they dont eat enough in the cartoon. And i also miss cowabunga.

XERO 08-21-2003 06:21 PM

Actually, we haven't seen the Turtles eat a bite of pizza since the show began. They only talked about it or there would be pizza boxes lying around. Leo fell asleep holding a slice in Nano.

jeff the cheff 08-22-2003 02:00 PM

There are some pizza refrences in the new show. In the way of invisibility mikey was about to grab a slice but casey got to it first. And there are pizza boxes in aprils apartment. I also remember on one of the mouser episodes the opening monologue said the mousers chew through metal like michelangelo chews a pizza.

Tetsu Deinonychus 08-22-2003 02:06 PM

I miss the Neutrinos!
Mainly because of the whole Mike and Kala thing.
And, the Theme song. (although, I prefer the foxbox promotional one)

Other than that, I'm satisfied with just the new cartoon.

Of course, if the old cartoon includes the Archie comics, then I miss Stump Wrestling, Raph's Dark Suit, Wingnut & Screwloose, etc.

Tokka-B 08-22-2003 05:03 PM

I remember how they would always mess up the colors of the TMNT...it got pretty funny after a while though. And Usagi and Lotus ruled...

Tetsu Deinonychus 08-22-2003 05:25 PM

Oh, I forgot Lotus!
She was cool!

Anyway, Usagi is an independant character who will probably appear in the new show.

Jephael 08-22-2003 09:08 PM

From what I've heard, Usagi will definitly appear in the second season.

GK Punk 08-22-2003 10:39 PM

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Usagi's return to the TMNT universe.

The Master 08-23-2003 10:01 AM

Krang.

Beyond that, I like the new show better in pretty much every way.

Tetsu Deinonychus 08-23-2003 05:01 PM

Wait until the Utroms show up.
That's like having a bunch of Krangs that act NOTHING like Krang. :wink: :lol:
