Which was better: 'Turtles Forever' or Trans-dimensional Turtles

It's going to fade away again eventually.

As for Gotham being trash, not sure what your point is. I'll agree that it's trash (I haven't watched it since season 2) but it's not like it and '66 are the only games in town when it comes to Batman shows. I'd still take TAS over both...

The revived interest in the '66 Batman show was happening before West passed away. In 2014, the complete series was released on Blu-ray and DVD. Last year was the 50th anniversary of the TV series and that was when Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was released with West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprising their roles. The LEGO Batman Movie, which was a success at the box-office had plenty of references to the series.

The FW Turtles, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and the Power Rangers were my first superheroes and that is why they hold a special place in my heart. And believe me, they do in lots of other people's as well.

ETA: As for my thoughts on Gotham I've seen reviewers praising it for its very dark and gothic tone because that is what Batman is truly about I understand that and I enjoyed The Dark Knight film series. However, I'm in a place right now where I don't like watching stuff like that, especially after long days and weeks at work. Things that are light-hearted boost my spirits.
