Plan 6 From Outer Space and Rogue in the House
 

So in my continued run through the OT, I was finishing up season 3...which has the fist episode of season 4...and in that very episode Shredder uses a robot that looks like Splinter to try and destroy the Turtles...which was reused in the end of season 2 of the 4Kids series when Shredder used a robot that looks like Splinter to try and destroy the Turtles.

You think it was just a very common story idea, a coincidence, or a pseudo-homage to the OT?

I think at the time fans considered Shredder using robot foot soldiers, a Splinter robot, and robots to replace the president was 'saturday morning' enough to kinda reference the old show.

How could I forget the plot to replace the President from Cowabunga, Shred-Head?

My guess would be that robot duplicates are just common Saturday morning plot devices. Still, it is a pretty interesting coincidence.

And, behold, Bill Clinton's only appearance in a TMNT comic to my knowledge:

I love finding non-existant paralels between the two shows lol

Sky Turtles + Mission of Gravity
Shredderville + Bad Day

I used to have a few more, but I haven't had turtles on the brain as much lately as I used to.

Hmm...

Planet of the Turtleoids + Turtles in Space saga
Turtles at the Earth's Core + Return of Savanti
Legend of Koji + Secret Origins Pt. 1-2
Once Upon a Time Machine + Future Shellshock
Adventures in Turtle Sitting + Adventures in Turtle-Sitting (no chance, lol)

I'm really reaching for these...

Yes...very much...:D

Shredderville is also like "Same As It Never Was". They both involve Shredder being the ruler of the world.

I used to read all the episode spoilers a long time ago, back when the episode descriptions were posted before the episodes actually aired. Every time I would look at the spoiler for Rouge In The House, it would keep mentioning the robot Splinter, and I keep saying to myself, this is gonna be a lot like Plan 6 From Outer Space.
