Your least favourite episode
 
Let's hear everyone's opinion on what their least favourite episode is. By definition, something that is unmemorable, boring and just plainly not entertaining.
My vote would definately have to go for "Raphael Knocks'em Dead". That's probably the worst episode of the TMNT show. Not only does it have a 30's gangster in the suburbs of New York, but also Baxter's twin and a laughter amplification ray? And let's not forget all the kidnapped comedians.

Night of the Rogues

"The Globfather"... :dead:

Anything from the last season. (Because of the crappy excuse for animation)

What?! You don't like this episode? I think it's hilarious, but not for the reasons you might expect.

My friends and I think it's very funny how all the other comedians had better material than Raphael, and he's supposed to be Mr. Funny Turtle in the series.

And the old-school gangsters are delightful. I love a show that can 1) not only poke fun at itself, but 2) also poke fun at other genres as well. The original cartoon proved that it never took itself too seriously.

But to each his own. I liked this episode, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.

-----

Contrary to popular belief, there are some episodes that I'm not particularly fond of regarding the old show. And one that immediately springs to mind is an example from the fourth season, "What's Michaelangelo Good For?"

I could rant and rave about all the stupid things this episode brought to the table, but I won't; I'll just mention one thing. There is a line in the episode where the writers tease that Dr. Goodfellow has a crush on Michaelangelo, and our Party Dude says something along the lines of, "Yeah, I know I'm irresistible!"

What, did the writers think this exchange would be funny? I don't like the imagery it creates at all; Michaelangelo and Dr. Goodfellow getting it on, resulting in a bunch of human-turtle hybrids running around all over the place is just wrong. I don't want to see that on my favorite cartoon show.

"Your jokes are so old, they get on the bus for half fare!" - a comic from "Raphael Knocks 'Em Dead"

Well, it's true - that bit of comedy is rather bad, but in all seriousness, it is quite funny that a woman should contemplate any sort of romantic involvment with a mutant turtle and vice versa. But I believe that sort of stuff is most likely the sort of material for a "Lost"/"Unreleased" sorta episode that the studio did while completely on drugs and drunk beyond all logical thought.

I would have to say my least favorite episode was the one where Shredder hired all the old bad guys to come back, work together, and beat the turtles. It was just a cheesy attempt to bring some baddies back, and then it ended terribly! I don't remember the name, but it was later on in the show...

Yeah the last season generally wasn't all that great. But that happens to a lot of shows.

That episode was so flawed and cheesy; it had bad dialogue for one.

How the heck did Tempestra come back? Why did Scumbug say he "returned" when that was his first appearance? How in the world did Shredder rebuild Chromedome all of a suddent? Since when did Leatherhead decide to come back?

I rest my case.

I dont like case of the killer pizzas.....

Ninja Tiptup 09-14-2003 01:54 AM

"Enter Mutagen Man"

It still creeps me out just thinking about it. Imagine the horror when I realized they made a toy of him... Poor guy, his life sucked before and it sure didn't get better. At least he got turned back into a human... just not himself (which could be a good thing but not when they guy he looks like finds out).

I like the ep 2 but ive seen it SO MANY TIMES now.

jeff the cheff 09-14-2003 03:15 PM

I havent seen much of the old show since i was little except for some tapes that i have...and of all that ive seen the least fav is case of the killer pizzas.
But my fav is cowabunga shredhead!

Tetsu Deinonychus 09-14-2003 06:34 PM

I hated all of seasons 9 an 10!!!

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan 09-14-2003 07:53 PM

Sheesh, what is all this hatred towards "Case of the Killer Pizzas" about? This episode, by many fans, is considered one of the classics; may I ask why so many people here on the board dislike it?

"No! No, not that!" - Shredder, from "Case of the Killer Pizzas"

Night of the Rouges was an odd episode but I still say Artless is the worst. Aliens that look like potatoes trying to steal Earth art with their magic and the turtles can't even touch them. Another really great question about Night of the Rouges is why would any of those villians care about money? Don't most of them steal when they need stuff?
