Why i love the turtles...I could go on forever, but i'll try not to.
I have been a fan ever since i saw the first episode back in 1987. The bond that they had as both a team and a family really impressed me. Having three brothers, i know what its like in a full house. Having two older brothers that liked to fight, i also knew the tensions that could inhabit a home. It's kinda funny, My two oldest brothers always competed against one another, my third brother is really smart in medical stuff and some computers, and i'm the youngest, most emotional, and the family troublemaker.
Emotional support when times got bad was really important too. Whenever mike had problems, his brothers and father helped him get through it. That's the same way with me and my family.
Humor. Humor makes life good even during the hard times. 'Nuff said.
And Splinter. *hears Kali moan in background* Oh, shush!

The bond Splinter had with his sons is the most recent reason i love the TMNT. These days, its hard for kids to find a good role model to instill morals and values. Splinter is an excellent example. Whenever i have something bugging me, I always look to him and try to think of how he would handle the situation.
I could say more, but i dont want to bore you, so That is why I Love the Turtles.
