I agree that the good eps of classic 'toon Season 3 were few and far between, but I find it impossible to deny that "USAGI YOJIMBO" was one of if not THE best.

Old toon Season 3 had continuous good and clever eps. By Season 4 it got a bit repetitive due to 40 eps in one season and basically repeating Season 3, but it had a number of good eps halfway through the season.

Season 1 = Excellent
Season 2 = Good
Season 3 = Great
Season 4 = Half good/half duds
Season 5 = Average, lack of fighting
Season 6 = Great
Season 7 = Great
Season 8 = Great
Season 9 = Average
Season 10 = Good
Europe eps = Bad

Season three is hit or miss. The episodes are either great or total s**t and the total s**t far outnumbers the great ones.

I liked all those episodes except the Ogg one (simply because the character was annoying), and the Turtle Terminator was just ruined by Raph's alternate voice.

Raph's alternate voice was the worst. I mean, they were all distracting, but his was like nails on a chalkboard.

I actually love a few of those episodes. But, season four was the same as far as hit or miss goes, with the good ones certainly not comparing to season 3's gold. And 5 was mostly lame.

That episode was ruined by alot more than just Raph's voice...

Yeah, I seem to remember them using a lot of still images rather than actual animation.

Yeah the animation in that ep was bad, but I found Irma stepping on Bebop and Shredder's feet and causing them to jump in pain to be hilarious. Its episodes like that which prove how goofy Shredder really was in some episodes.

Wait wait wait... Are you sure you mean "The Big Blow Out"? I hate "The Big Ripoff" (can't even stay awake for ten mintues), but "Blow Out" was awesome.

I don't know...the whole "Big..." series and "Plan 6 From Outer Space" kind of all blended together.

Honestly, did you like the old toon at all? By that shows standards, those were pretty good eps.

The original cartoon is just good fun where you can turn your brain off and enjoy crazy plots. Its not meant to be taken seriously.

OT: European Vacations. I cringe every time I hear that replacement Raph.

NT: Back to the Sewer. I never ever want to see half of these episodes agian.

Overall: Probably still Next Mutation. It was just so sloopy that I could tell even when I was a kid. It feelt like a poor man's Mystic Knights (which was a poor man's Power Rangers). Please tell me someone remembers that show?

I loved the old toon: I liked every episode in season one ("The Shredder is Splintered", being my favorite), I liked most of season two (I could do without "New York's Shiniest"), but when it comes to season three, I liked a handful of them and disliked a handful. Same with season four. Season seven, with the exception of the European Vacation series, was excellent.

I gotta be honest. I barely remember European Vacation. So what replacement Raph? Like a replacement voice actor?

EDIT: Oh wait nevermind. I found out for myself. So apparently Rob Paulson and Avery weren't around.

Well anyway. I'm curious. How many of you are willing to pick out the worst EPISODE in the entire Old Toon? And maybe the Worst episode of the New Toon as well. That includes Fast Forward and BTTS of course.

And on a random note these two videos *well there were 3 but one of them got taken down* amuse me. I wonder if someone on this forum made em.

season five and FF of the 4KIDS series I hate the most.

this might get me trouble but I wasn't so big on 80's toon season seven. Every one kept building it up but didn't seem much different than the ushual fare. But I have to say season five of the 80's series.

I don't see why that would get you in trouble. The rule is "no old cartoon bashing." Simply saying you disliked something doesn't really qualify as bashing it.

When I watched a few of them on youtube before the DVD's came out, I was crazy about it. Then I hyped them up and didn't really care for them once they came out. But then my second viewing I wasn't expecting much and I loved them again lol

Say what you will about it, but "Ninja Tribunal" gave a fitting conclusion to the series and was clearly written to be an ending to the show rather than just another season. It felt more like an extended mini-series to me with a focused epic central plot. After I saw it, I honestly felt like they wouldn't be able to top it.

And I was right. "Fast Forward" was absolute garbage. It didn't even feel like the same series and the same characters to me. It felt like the TMNT in FF were caricatures of the TMNT in the 2K3 series up to that point. BttS was a little better, in my opinion, but it was still pretty lame because of the whole flavor-of-the-week cybernaut silliness.

I consider "Ninja Tribunal" to be the end of the 2K3 series. FF and BttS were just attempts to drain as much coin from the franchise and sell as many toys as possible, as far as I'm concerned.
