Who came up with the idea for the original cartoon series?
 

I was just wondering who's idea it was to come up with the original cartoon series? Well whoever it was, it was a genius idea! (not only was the music great but the humor was funny and IMO, it helped populate the TMNT :) )

It was Mirage's new agent whose name I can never remember...

Now there's a good question to send to Mirage!

Yeah, I always wondered who came up with the whole Krnag/Dimension X thing...

If I wasn't to lazy I could check the name... It was on one yeat 87 issue. I THINk his first name was Mark, new licensing agent that came to Mirage studios. He suggested action figures to playmates, and they said they will do it after there is a cartoon show.

That's a GREAT question, actually!

It would rule to find out who came up with all the ideas for the old show. Was the technodrome really a rip-off of the death star or did they come up with it themselves is something I'd like to know.

Shredder: "Oh no, we're out of power!"
Krang: "Really? I thought you'd just forgotten to pay the electric bill!"
-The Big Rip Off

Shredder: "I'll take that!"
Rupert: "Sure, for $19.95 you will."
Shredder: "Don't be ridiculous, villians don't pay for things!"
-Planet of the Turtles

IF you mwan for came up with the ideas, not the show it self it was probably playmates. It was produced to sell toys afterall.

That is definitely a unique question. I would love to find out who the genius was that came up with the idea for the old cartoon.

It's nice to see that at least one person actually DID take my thread seriously :)

is that sarcasm?

Which one do you think found the most parallels?

Rez and his Old Cartoon/Star Wars list?
Or me with my mirage/Gundam Wing List?

not sure who did the ideas from most of the Seasons. I remenber back when it was still on & when I was in Kindergarden back in 1993-1994. To be honest I only seen like 12 episodes. My memory is fuzzy and when there will be a DVD release for the original episodes I would have to tget it and refreshen my memory.

Uh, no...

Sarcasm doesn't tend to show through very well on message boards. :wink:

Just making sure, I thought you made some really good connections in your star wars/tmnt comparison thread by I thought the closest comparison was definitely the technodrome. They only have one small difference besides that one's in space and the other is land bound. The weapons on the Death Star had one extremely powerful weapon which could destroy a planet, all the technodrome had was eyeball missles. Still, a really good comparison.

"In My Opinion" :)

I'm sure that many of the ideas came from famous cartoon writer David Wise, who wrote the intro episodes. It was his idea to make Splinter Yoshi himself rather than Yoshi's pet rat because he didn't like the idea of Splinter learning ninjutsu from his cage.

Sayonara.

I believe you're thinking of Mark Freedman...
