What Was the Worst Episode of the Cartoon Series?

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 10-29-2002, 07:48 AM

This topic is going to be a little different. We spend so much time buttering our favorite things up that we often times overlook the bad things about it. This topic is just going to give people a chance to rant.

Obviously, not every single show of the cartoon was a hit. Some episodes were great, and some episodes stunk so bad it made you want to leave the room. One episode that I didn't like in particular was "What's Michaelangelo Good For?"

This episode started out good enough. But it went downhill in a hurry.

I didn't like the doctor who was with Michaelangelo. She just annoyed the heck out of me. She doesn't believe that a pigeon and a turtle can understand each other; and she's saying this to a five-foot tall talking turtle. And then the writers thought it would be cute if she started getting a crush on Michaelangelo.

"I know I'm irresistible," says Michaelangelo.

Please. Spare us.

Another thing I didn't like about this episode was Donatello. He was just (pardon my French) a smart-ass in this episode. I don't know why the writers decided to portray him as a loudmouth in this episode. Every time someone said something, he just had to put his two cents in, whether we people wanted to hear it or not. I just felt like reaching through the TV and smacking Donatello upside the head for being so rude.

So that's my rant. I think it's good to criticize something once in a while. I'm an unabashed lover of the cartoon, but even I know that some episodes of the series, for lack of a better word, suck.

"You're really gettin' into this, aren't you, Doc?"
"Me? Definitely not. Well, maybe a little."

Michaelangelo and the doctor, from "What's Michaelangelo Good For?"

Hmmm, I dont have on i hate in particular, perry much all those mad scientists. A funny notice about that. Yesterday I watched episode 143 sleuth on the loose. The Doctor with the dooms day device screams "I will have my revenge!" When his about to destroy the world. Funny thing is, that no history on this doctor was told. So it's like all the Mad scinetists are one character with same history...

The Muckman Episode! His IQ had to be around thirty the way he spoke!

Can't honestly say...though "It Came From Beneath The Sewers" was kinda boring IMO.

**Karpo_007** · 10-29-2002, 04:51 PM

Most of season 4 is boring... By the way im starting the euro season tomorrow.

*Deathknight* · 10-29-2002, 09:31 PM

the worst episode... without a doubt Artless... that was so dumb and stupid.

*Nickokapo* · 10-30-2002, 04:49 AM

Isn't that the episode of the talking-potato-with-tentacles? =P
I haven't seen it yet (which is good

) but most people didn't liked that ep so it probably wasn't that good...i'll have to check it myself to see, i thought it looked like a good episode

I don't think i have a 'worst toon episode', i liked em all, plus i havent seen all the eps so i cant say.

*Deathknight* · 10-30-2002, 06:46 PM

that would be the ep nicko... that ep was so corny it's painful watching it.

Spike The Xenomorph · 10-30-2002, 06:48 PM

a potato w/ tentacles?

*Deathknight* · 10-30-2002, 06:52 PM

Yeah, exactly.

Spike The Xenomorph · 10-30-2002, 08:11 PM

whose idea was that?

**Ratking** · 11-01-2002, 06:48 AM

hmm, i can't think of one ep that i don't like.......

*Deathknight* · 11-01-2002, 10:08 PM

You LIKED Artless?! I think you need to have your head examined

*Nickokapo* · 11-02-2002, 05:29 AM

That you don't like the ep doesn't means everyone else will not like it too

C'mon, a cartoon with a talking-potato-with-face-and-extremities!It can't be bad! *remembers the potato head kids*
Oh...nevermind.

**azure turtle** · 11-02-2002, 05:36 PM

LOL!! Man, I don't remember a talking potato from the old cartoon...

Spike The Xenomorph · 11-04-2002, 03:03 PM

I wish I did! I only remember a few of the cartoon extras

Which season was that in? The potato creature?

It wasn't really a bad episode but that episode when Leonardo thought he was a member of the Four Musketeers was silly.

*Nickokapo* · 11-06-2002, 08:58 PM

That one was pretty silly...but i like it because it reminds me of a lot of years ago when i rented a tmnt vhs which had that episode

Ahhhhh, childhood...the memories...and I'm serious too.

*Nickokapo* · 11-06-2002, 09:10 PM

yeah...that's why i was so focused on getting all the cartoon episodes, i couldn't remember much of it.
I also remember renting case of the killer pizzas...and watching attack of the punk frogs in tv...and turtle tracks and cowabunga shredhead, but cowabunga shredhead i dunno if i rented it or watched it on tv, and turtle tracks might not even have been turtle tracks
