I hate Old Cartoon vs. New Cartoon Discussions.

Ok. This really drives me crazy in other forums when people compare the Classic Series to the new Cartoon. To me it is like comparing apples and oranges. The main purpose of the original show was to appeal to children and not the hardcore comic fans. I think those who become self riteous in that matter forget that little fact. Don't get me wrong. I love the new show. But on the other hand I can see the 80's cartoon for what it was, good, clean tongue in cheek fun. I mean to me bringing up the topic of Old Cartoon vs. New Cartoon is bad form along the lines of Godzilla vs. King Kong, Joel Hodgson vs. Mike Nelson, etc. And no my intention in this thread is not to start a flame war. I just wanted to make my thoughts known on the either/or perception concerning the turtles in the animated cartoon medium.
