Hmm.. There are few episodes that I could see that were rushed, but I like all the pop culture references. It would be useful for games like "Find that Cultural Reference!"
HOwever, all those cultural references might not stand the test of time, as in a quite a few years, those references might be outdated and future viewers would not be interested in what the current episode was inspired by.
On the other hand.. it could be good, as people wouldn't be complaining about the amount of "rip-offness" occuring in the episodes...
I kinda think we're expecting too much from a show that's being shown on the Foxbox... but again, it IS the TMNT, and they've done alot of darker stuff in the past...
