Well, the original 'toon definitely decreased in quality over time, but it is hardly as if there is a lack of good ideas for the world the Turtles lived in. The Archie comics by themselves could easily have provided plenty of new ideas and villains. I'd have loved to see the 'toon mature a bit as it went on, taking on some of the slightly darker (but still plenty kid friendly) stories from those comics, like the invasion of the Malignoids. I have given my right arm to see the Future Turtle saga brought to life.
I'd really love to be able to carry my mod far enough to play with some of those stories and characters....my quiet ambition is to one day do get all the way up to Armaggon. Unfortunately, it depends entirely on what the artists feel like creating.
I don't think that, given the situation as it existed at the time, the Turtles would have continued to be good for 20+ years, but it SHOULD have.
