OT Season 7 phasing out characters

*THGhost* · 09-26-2014, 07:09 PM

Watching season 7 of the 80s show right now and have noticed that a lot of the show's characters are making their final appearances in its early episodes. Namely James Avery's Shredder voice, Zach, Tempestra, Leatherhead, Slash, Chrome Dome, the Neutrinos, Kerma, Groundchuck and Dirtbag. As well as Shredder & Krang's original Transport Modules and Shell-Ri-La. It's kinda sad to see some of them go, especially after not seeing them for a while.

Also for some reason, Jim Cummings didn't voice Leatherhead in his final appearance. Peter Renaday did.

I guess this was partly due to the fact that the last 3 seasons were retooled to be more serious? And because Shredder's voice was taking its toll on Avery's voice?
