Old toons on tv?
 

Okay, I'm new here and pretty new to the fandom as well so I sort of need to ask. Is the original TMNT on television anywhere or is there a way to get hold of some more eps? I have the little dvd's that are currently out, but I'm itching to get my hands on some more if I can. Any help would be appreciated.:)

DVDs are sadly the only way. :(
(By law we have to pretend episode downloads are non existant)

Eh, poo. I tend to be the impatient type. Wonder why they didn't do box sets like some of the other 80's toons.

Because they are complete morons. I wish they'd do boxsets like the He-Man dvds.

Maybe they will in time..
 

Perhaps in time, they will start putting releases with more episodes together instead of these DVD's with god awful artwork and not superior quality. The first release is actually preety good, it includes a slip on 3D cover and some decent artwork that actually reflects the original series, as well as an insert with the episode names. The DVD releases now just come with DVD artwork (which is abysmal) and the disc.

Right now Volumes 1-4 are out on DVD. Each of these DVDs have 10-12 episodes on them. But as mentioned before, this is the only way to watch the original series.

*nods* I have all those. I was hoping there was a way to get my hands on more. :P

Volume 5 will not be coming out until late this summer.

cool! you are new to the TMNT fandom and you actually like the classic TMNT! :o :D I think that is so damn awsome because some people only like classic TMNT for nostalgia reasons, you go girl--er, boy (what evere you are) :ohwell:.

I'm dileriously happy that this series is making it to dvd, but I'm miffed its not being handled as well as it deserves. Season one and two dvds looked much brighter and sharper in quality than the season three releases, and it makes me weep :cry:

I'm female. :P I grew up watching the classic toon(I'm 27). Really there isn't much that can beat out classic 80's toons. I can't even really get into the new incarnations of the Transformers. Sometimes the original really is the best. :D

As for being new to the fandom, I'm just now cruising around TMNT forums and stuff.

This place needs more classic TMNT fans

Well I'm one... :P

As for the classic tmnt show... I CAN STILL SEE IT ON TV !! Yes my friends. This is not a joke. Its in french and I can see it on the channel ''super ecran'' a channel who exclusively presents recent movies, toons who cannot be seen elsewhere and some classic toons. These includes tmnt, biker mice from mars and some unknown others..

They're now starting season 5. So far so good, the voices are BAD but the ratings are good so... I think they will go to season 9-10.

I am pretty much both....I have liked the turtles since 1987, which is when I was 8 years old.

yeah, I was a little supriced on how many people on here only pay nostalgia respect to the classic toon and nothing more :-? , since the premice of this board seem to be classic toon geared and all :| Oh well I'm still a hard core fan of the classic toon and proud of it, LOL baby!!!

oh then, I guess i'm sort of a newbie too, since i only started looking cruising online for TMNT info and participating in discussions for about a year and half.

I don't mess with the new show.

I've always preferred the old show. I'm a huge fan of it and have all the episodes on low quality vhs, all but 3 of the official vhs, and all 4 DVDs. I watched the new show until season 4. I watched the first 5 or 6 episodes of the 4th season and just got bored and stopped watching it. Can't wait for volume 5 of the old series. By the end of this year, we might be on season 4!

re:
 

I love the humor of the classic show, especially Krang and Shredder. Those two have me laughing my behind off!:lol:

Yeah, Krang and Shredder are just awesome in the old show. I love how they constantly insult each other.

Krang and Shredder really helped make that show. Krang was just as great as Skeletor in the classic MOTU toon.

Everyone should still try to watch the new show just to keep the franchise alive. The old show was good, but I prefer this new show more. Now when I watch the old show, it seems so simple and childish, which is boring to me. The new show seems to be written with more thought and effort put into it, also its storylines are more intense.
