Nick TMNT Season 1 vs TMNT 4kids Season 1

Hey everyone, I am new to the forums so please excuse me if I am posting this thread in the wrong place.
Now that we have gotten through a whole season of the newest incarnation of the turtles, I am curious on how it stakes up against season one of the 4kids series in terms of plot, character development, action scenes, things of that nature.
In my opinion I feel the season was slightly rushed because of so many plot points going on, and the characters didn't have time to really grow. it felt the episodes were sort of random each time and they did not have any cohesion besides a few scenes or minor details to connect each other. I think the 4kids series handled their fist season slightly better. Also a minor issue is the focus on the Donatello April infatuation. Donatello is one of my favorites and I didn't like seeing him being reduced to nothing more that a one note character.(crush on April)
The season finale was great, I liked the fight between splinter and shredder. I just wish the buildup toward the fight was handled a little better during the course of the season. One last issue for the season finale was the dancing scene, I felt was unneeded. We could have used more time for the characters instead of a unnecessary dance sequence.

Anyway great start to the newest turtle series. Hopefully the crew can step it up for season 2. This show has great potential and I hate to see it wasted.

Thoughts?
