Who's your favourite Channel Six Member?
 

Outside of April O'Neil, who is your favourite member of the Channel Six News Crew?

I always saw missed opportunities with Burne Thompson in the 1987 cartoon. Instead of dropping the character he could have been gullible and bought into Dregg's act. He could have been Dregg's PR guy and thus biggest public sullorter. After being shamed when the truth comes out he could have attempted to redeem himself by imitating Gadget Man thus getting in over his head the Turtles save him thus coming to peace with himself and his Jameson-lite vendetta. I wrote a few scripts of fan fiction playing off of this a gle referenced above.

Irma was good too. I was boping for her return in rhe Nick series. For shame the character was used the way she was. Vernon I never cared much for.

Out of those three I'd have to say Irma. Her man and dieting obsessions got/get old fast, but every now and then meek little Irma proved she can be a tough cookie when she has to.

Burne never had enough done with him, and Vernon was successfully annoying as intended; but he made a good office enemy for April.

Irma.

Irma easily considering the other options, though I will admit that Vernon is pretty funny sometimes. I wish they had kept his season 1 characterization.

Vernon is the hero we deserve. He's about as anti-feminist as you can possibly get, trying to constantly harass and scoop April on her story, and he's a narcissist in that he only cares about himself. Yet he's a coward when things don't go his way and begs April and the Turtles to save him.

Vernon was truly the best mouthpiece of the original cartoon. A guy who wore a pink shirt with suspenders every day and did the things he did, what a breakout character for a children's cartoon in the 80's.

Probably Irma. Always hated Vernon as he was such an unlikable tool.

Irma all the way. Her man thirst was amusing, and was somehow able to jump back to entertaining even after it wore thin in any single episode. And it is here that I proclaim from the mountains, that I think Irma is cuter than April.

Most of all, she's the character I personally want to adapt for my own retelling.

Vernon and Burne came close to being fun, but they missed that bus. Concerning Burne's girlfriend...I'm not sure if she should have been around a little more? On one hand, she got pretty annoying, but good gravy, what a reason for Burne to be anti-turtle when the rest of his excuses were fairly aimless.

Irma, she was cute & funny.

Irma. She was the only one of the crew besides April the turtles trusted enough to bring to the lair, and she was helpful to them on many occasions. She eventually even had her own Turtle-com! I liked her personality; she was fun, quirky, and smart, though her man-crazy side and her obsession with dieting could be over-played at times.

Vernon was my second choice, if only for his rivalry with April and his stuck-up, self-absorbed personality and his cowardice. He had plenty of funny moments because of them!

Irma.

Although the one thing that I probably liked most about the 2014 movie was that it actually made Vernon into a likable character.

When was that? Did I miss a post-credits scene where he donates to an animal shelter or something? :tlol:

When he was staring at Megan Fox's ass, maybe? :trolleye:

Honestly, I'm surprised anybody likes ANY of these three characters. Gah. As a kid, I hated all of them. As an adult, I still hate all of them.

The Channel 6 news crew had some of the best source of comedy in the series. If April didn't have them to interact with she would just be interacting with bland one-dimensional extras then.

I didn't miss any of them when they were inexplicably gone in season 9 and 10.

I did. Maybe not Burne so much, but Irma and Vern? Certainly.

I kinda thought it was when he was thinking himself cool with that stupid hat while waiting for April. Basically, "likable" in a pathetic way that garners some sympathy from the audience. :tlol:

But Irma is not in season 1.

He's quite clearly talking about Vernon.

it's really a tough call for me between Irma and Vernon!
both were absolutely hysterical!!

but Irma just had more silly gut-busting one-liners! :D
