The OT is a lot of fun. But that doesn't mean it can't be taken seriously. Comedy is not all about being bright and happy. A lot of the humor in the OT came from the characters having a very snarky and cynical attitude towards society which we can all identify with and speaks a lot more volumes than a cartoon going out of its way to be "dark."
Oh I agree. A lot of these people haven't actually sat down and watched the original cartoon in years, so they don't truly remember what the show is actually like.

However the 4kids series was indeed very good. And not just for TMNT, it was one of the better made cartoons in the 2000's in general.
