Favorite episode in season six of the old toon?
 

I just got the the dvd of season six from the old series and I spent the last three days watching the episode and I just finnished watching the today. And what is the best is that I can actually remember seeing these episodes when they came on the USA cartoon express line up when I was a kid. And I have to say that I really, really enjoyed this season. I was supriced on how good and entertaining these episides where.

Since it's been so long since i've seen season six of the old toon i had forgotten what these episokde where like and pretty much shared the same oppinion that the later season after season three and before season seven where the low point of the old toon run. But after watching these episode I have to say that this is pretty far from the truth. This season seemed to be a real step up from season five and four as far as animation and story telling goes. season seven if my favorite because it's tone and story telling returns to how it was back in season one of the show but after seeing season six I think it the return of good story telling and began in season six. Maybe it's because David Wise wrote the majority of season sixs episodes but I found them to be much better in quality than season five and even season four. Heck even the episodes not written by David Wise where pretty good and enjoyable like Sword of Yurikiwa and Nightmare in the lair where pretty good, even the sillier ones.

Which episode did you guys like the best of this season?

Sword of Yurikawa. One of the best episodes in the whole OT period.

Nightmare in the Lair.

I would have to say Sword of Yurikawa.

The opener, "Rock around the Block" and "Krangestein lives" were both excellent.

I love it when Krang's Android body goes rogue, great episode.

Those are my faves also it was so nice for Traag to have his own episode finally! I also enjoyed Shreeka's Revenge allot.

I also marked Sword of Yurikawa & Return of the Turtleoid as faves because I just love when Splinter & April are more involved in the episodes then they usually are.

Phantom of the Sewers.

There were some reused plots in this season. "Too hot to handle" was another episode about the Earth being heated up, and I recall there was a previous episode with Shredder doing the same thing. Was that the one his mother was in?

The Turtles turning into little kids was also similar to that Season 4 episode where I think Raph and Don get turned into little kids.

there are some reused plots in this season but I sort of liked it, like in Mr. Nice Guy with the personality altering ray I thought it was a nice nod to continuity. I also like how in this season most of the episodes took place at night time rather than having the turtles running around in broad day light like they normally do. I don't know it just made the episodes seem more a appropiate for the theme of the turtles to be in this setting. :)

I really liked Krangastien. For one it focused on Krang's body in this one which I liked since when the show began and Krang built it it just seemed like a plot devise to give Krang some mobility, and for once he was in his bubble walker which I rather like. I really liked seeing the robot body go beserk and attacking on its own with all those gadgets of death in it's arms. You really don't get to see more of Krang's in action except in the first season and in the finale of season three. Kinda make you wonder why, if the body is that amped up with weapons and arsenal that Krang doesn't go out and fight the turtles on his own more often. I also really liked how Shredder lost his memory in this episode and struck out on this own. I think this episode really emphasised how genuanly dangerous Shredder can be as a villan if he wheren't so distracted by getting even with the turtles or trying to gas up the technodrome. He still has his eveil instancts and on his own with out any one to foul him up he was able to make a lethal weapon and menace the city and would have succeeded had he not got his memory back and remembered his beef with the turtles. I think this proved that Shredder is actually a compentent bad guy who is just a victim of the people he is around, and also if he would just forget about avenging him self against the turtles he might actually win in conquring the city. :P

Season 6 is great! I voted "Rock around the block" and "Sword of yurikawa" as my favorites!

Off topic...which season has the episode where the turtles enter some kinda dreamland where Shredder has taken over?
Also...what volume iare the big blowout episodes in

I think your thinking about episode "Shredderville" from season 3!

Agreed, I loved that episode anyway. Even though Raph was toned down in the old toon, he did act like a grouch or jerk in a number of episodes and this ep did a good job of focusing on that.

It's pretty much why I still love this version of Raphael. His sarcasm was great, and when he got pissed off he would always let everyone know it.

Shredderville
 

It's "Shredderville" in season 3 (1989). The TMNT dream that Shredder took over New York City. The night before they said they wished they were never born.

Super Irma
 

It's Super Irma

Looking back at this thread, it's suprise me that episode "Rock around the Block" didn't get higher ratings:ohwell:

When I was young, I would say "Mr. Nice Guy". For some reason I loved that one...but now I would say "Krangenstein Lives!" because it's a throwback to "Shredder & Splintered" plus Shredder loses his memory and it's hilarious.

looks like Sword of yurikawa is winning so far. :)

Gosh I wonder why?:lol:

Sorry to infest this thread with my season three questions...but I'm pretty damn confused....Shredderville and the Big Blow Out are both supposed to be on season 3...Yet...I have vol. 1-4, and dont have either...and the vol.5 is the raph covered one full of season four episodes isnt it?
