What is your favorite CBS episode with Shredder from Season 4?
 

Note that I include "Splinter Vanishes" as even though there is no Shredder, the villains here are Leatherhead and the Rat King, and is not an episode that focuses on an individual turtle this season (which will be in the next poll).

Why, The Big Cufflink Caper, of course! My favorite episode of all time.

Most of these episodes were very good. I think Poor Little Rich Turtle is the only meh episode here, what was the Bebop/Rocksteady one about?

The Foot Soldiers are Revolting,great episode.Shedder had some great one liners in that one.Favorite one:

"Have a seat Alpha One.You are about to make robot history.Considering if this thing doen't make fried noodles out of your circuitry".

Krang:The power cells are charged to full capacity.
Shredder:So are the fillings in my teeth.

I picked Were-rats from Channel 6, Raph had some funny lines in it

Actually, I'm find this tough because there's several episodes that I really enjoyed. Son of Return of the Fly II, Slash- The Evil Turtle from Dimension X, Farewell Lotus Blossom, The Dimension X Story, The Big Cufflink Caper!, and The Foot Soldiers Are Revolting are all episodes that I really enjoyed.

Agreed, these are actually the better eps of Season 4.

Bebop and Rocksteady Conquer the Universe
 

Bebop and Rocksteady zap people in town with a beam making people afraid of a lot of things (usually planned to be used by Shredder and Krang in their conquest of Earth).

Mine is The Foot Soldiers Are Revolting. It was cool to see powerful foot soldiers for a change.

Definitely. It would be tough for me to choose between Were-Rats of Channel 6, Splinter Vanishes (a favourite of mine) or Son Of Return Of The Fly II if I didn't already have the Dimension X Story as my favourite from this season.

I voted for the Dimension X Story; even though it doesn't have General Traag, it is a vivid, fast-paced episode where it's not only a race against saving the good guys from the volcano's eruption, but also escaping back through the portal before getting stuck in Dimension X. The teleporter scene at the junkyard is dramatic as it shows many, but not all good guys getting stuck, which forces Leonardo and Donatello to be only advisors in this episode (though Leo could have gone to Dimension X given Don could still operate the portal and bring everyone else home). It also shows how the turtles can win without Leonardo and Donatello, typically the two strongest members of the team.

I also really enjoy Son of Return of the Fly II, Splinter Vanishes, and the Cufflink Caper. My least favorite from this set is Big Bug Blunder (just some silly mutated insects where at least if we had Baxter could have made it more interesting.

For me It is the Big Cuff Link Caper. Always rented that VHS tape back in the day that had that episode! Love the mafia guys and the turtles in thier suits.

Man, I really love these episodes. It shows that Season 4 was at its best when it wasn't doing those ridiculous mad-scientist stories or those one-shot villain type of episodes.

Well what I liked about most of these episodes is that they had much better animation than the syndicated season four episodes. Then again, there was Rhino-Man. But otherwise, most were pretty good.

Hmm, so many good episodes in this set. I actually like a lot of them. My vote went to Splinter Vanishes, simply because I think it carried a strong character development within its 22 minutes.

One thing I mentioned in the "Turtles Forever" thread that I'll bring up again here that I think this episode really featured on was the fact that the classic turtles function extremely well as a team but they seem to fall apart when separated, something their '03 counterparts don't seem to do. I actually think it's intriguing that the classic turtles need the team-dynamic like they do. I think it's an interesting character trait, and one of the many traits that I think is their own personal bond with one another, something I know a lot of people don't see in the old toon much. But then, that's my interpretation.

However, it wouldn't be fair to not mention my other two favorites here: Bebop and Rocksteady Conquer the Universe and Return of the Son of the Fly II.

For the first, I apparently am one of those odd people who actually like Zak. I thought he was an interesting character and I like the way the turtles each individually interact with him. Given I have a Michelangelo bias, I thought it was pretty neat the way Mikey takes on a 'big brother' role with him, especially since I consider him the youngest of the four.

Seeing the turtles afraid and unable to help was an entertaining, especially the ones I was not used to seeing afraid, such as Leonardo. I also loved April's complaint to the turtles in this one: "Why do you guys always wait 'til the last minute to rescue me?!" "Okay, okay, don't have a fit."

For Son of Return of the Fly II, there were so many great lines in this episode. Ssjup81 already mentioned of my favorites between Raph and Donatello; he seemed much more of the angry Raph in this episode as opposed to the sarcastic and annoyed one. I'm also a huge fan of that rescue from the clock. The way that Donatello mentions that only a ninja master could get free from these ropes and then Leonardo leaps down, cuts him and the others free. Thought that was pretty awesome.

Ulisa:)

Why are people voting splinter vanishes when shredder isn't even in it? :lol:

It's funny because back when they turtles were on syndication on CBS or whereever, that episode would be the one to air the most it seemed like. CBS would air two episodes on saturday mornings, a new one or a rerun from Season 6 or 7, and the Big Cufflink Caper. It was always so disappointing so I usually just turned it off because it was the one episode I was sick of seeing.

Now it's classic!:D

Bah... I'm not sure why I chose The Dimension X Story when I like The Big Cufflink Caper way better. :) I even remember doing the entire episode in my own voice, pausing an rewinding the tape as needed, just so I could have it on tape. I used to record my own episodes but don't have them anymore.
