Tmnt 1 On Abc Family
 

just thought I'd let everyone know it's on right now in case anyone cares.
It's been years since I've watched this movie since I'm waiting for a good collectors version to come out on dvd.:)

:lol: Thanks man, I love watching this on TV for some reason.

Wow. Isn't this like the third time it's been on in the past few months?

They cut out the "You got any cigarettes" part! I used to wonder what menthol meant when I was little :lol: Damn them!

That's crazy considering they didn't cut out raphaels times he says DAMN!!!:o
I thought they would considering the stuff they cut out of austin powers.
and yeah it's odd I enjoy watching things when they play on tv even if I have a dvd lol.

Yet they don't cut out the part where the kids are gambling. So it's better to show that than the other? I don't understand that concept at all. And also the part where one of the ninjas are electrocuted.

And another heads up TMNT 2 is on tommrow.

and part of shredder's speech too

I kind of chuckled when he says "I am your father":lol:

:lol: gotta love references of different movies in TMNT 1, espically that part, hehe

I'm used to watching my old VHS tape. Seeing it on TV made me realize how sad that copy's getting. I'm gonna need a DVD if I hope to be able to make out the picture in a few years. :-)

I think I heard they are trying to get an "R" rating on any movie with smoking in it. Maybe this is why it was cut. That, or maybe just time constraints.

Ooh, yeah, was channel-flipping last night and found the movie on. It's strange to find it on TV though, a really odd feeling. And they're showing the second movie today...eh. But still. Yeah, I remember parents having a really tough time with the first movie when it came out, being more violent and "mature" than they expected. So they took all their little kids, who have been enthralled with the more innocent cartoon series to this movie that was fashioned more from the comics...yeah. As a parent I understand, but as a parent who loves the turtles...well...the first movie was a bit of realism that gave them life. It will always be "the classic".

A few notes:

1. When the show had the 2nd ninja turtles movie on, they cut it off after splinter says: 10 flips now after the turtles return home and they are in the paper (this cut off his joke).

2. they'll keep showing movies like that until their television series come up with new seasons and such.

Overall, I'm glad they showed #1 & #2 again. you can't kill the classics.

Did they air 3?

the only time you'll see ninja turtles 3 is on one of the HBO channels or you might even see it in the STARZ package.

showing it on ABC family would be nice if they really had nothing else to show:D

3 gets shown occasionally on SciFi Channel in the late night hours...

About how late?

sci-fi channel showing ninja turtles 3...that's like saying let's show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (which used to show on Sci-Fi)

no insult by the way but then again, late night television does have its moments.
