Blast from the Past: Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan Speaks!
 

Hey all you Technodromers!

I think I last posted here about three years ago, but even I couldn't resist making an appearance on what was a very special day for me, the release of Season 4 on DVD of the old Ninja Turtles cartoon.

Ever since the invention of the DVD, I hoped this day would come. All I wanted was Seasons 3 and 4 of the old cartoon to be converted into this format, and this has been many years in the making.

For a while, it didn't look as though the old cartoon would ever make it to the DVD format. And now, here we are, and Lion's Gate is releasing season sets. Whoulda thunk it?!

For all those who loved the old cartoon as much as I still do -- come on, aren't Shredder and Krang just the funniest bad-guy duo ever? -- this is just about one of the coolest DVD releases in a very long time.

I'd like to give a shoutout to all those who were frequent posters in this forum in my time! We had some great discussions and debates. And for all you newbies out there, thanks for keeping these forums alive.

As for Krang and Shredder, the moderators -- thank you for keeping this website up and running, so retired posters like myself can still keep visiting every now and then.

Have fun with your DVD sets everyone!

Wow, glad to see you stop by, NTCF! Yes, I remember back when we weren't even sure who had the rights to the old cartoon, making a DVD release seem impossible. But thankfully, things finally fell into place. :D And I agree with you about Krang and Shredder. I bought the DVD set today and just started watching it, but there are already so many good lines from those two in just the first few episodes. Well, hope to see you around the forums again soon. :)

I know what you mean about Krang and Shredder having some good lines in Season 4. I was watching the last episode in this release, "The Turtles and the Hare," and one of Krang's lines had me rolling with laughter.

At the beginning of the episode, Krang is explaining to Shredder his latest plan to take over Earth. Then he calls off camera, "Bebop! Rocksteady!!" And just the way Krang says this, the way the voice actor chose to do it, is so hilarious it had me in stitches! I think I listened to Krang go, "Bebop! Rocksteady!!" about five or six times.:lol:

Does any of the old gang still post here? Kali, Machias Banshee, Nickokapo, Azure Turtle, Deathknight, etc.? Even the guy I loved to argue with, Karpo_007? I noticed Reznorite has been banned; what's that make it, like, thirty seven times he's been kicked out of here?:lol:

I haven't seen that episode in a while, but that sounds funny. :lol: I'm sure I'll remember it when I see it, so I'm looking forward to seeing that part again when I reach that episode on my DVD set.

Several still do (including Deathknight), but unfortunately, everyone else that you listed seems to have disappeared. :( They're probably too busy or have lost interest in TMNT, but hopefully they'll show up again sooner or later.

Woah this is a Blast from the Past. I'm GK if you remember me.
