What if the Summer Shorts their own series?

The summer shorts were all interesting in their own way, some more than others. Some of them almost felt worthy of becoming their own series.

These shorts were similar to the World Premiere Toons, Cartoon Network had back in the day. World Premiere Cartoons were little cartoon shorts that they featured for entertainment. But also as test pilots for shows they felt could work on their network. This concept would be called Cartoon Cartoons in later years.

In a way, these shorts had the same mindset. They were little bits of TMNT related entertainment that were being presented as experimental ideas. But aren't as of yet their own sanctioned incarnation in the TMNT Lore.

So if any of the shorts were to become its own series, how do you feel it should be approached as a concept for a story.

Boulangerie might be hard to see as anything beyond a single sketch.

Strike Hard and Fade into the Night and Don Vs. Raph also have intriguing animation styles that I would like to see more of, but the plots they offer may not be enough to give a solid towards anything beyond.

Pizza Friday also doesn't offer enough of a plot for a series, but the concept of the Turtles creating human holograms of themselves so they and act like normal human teenagers is an intriguing concept. Yeah, I can hear the naysayers saying it's stupid to have them as humans. And yes the way they are presented in this short doesn't exactly sell the concept as a good idea.

But if done properly, the Turtles would be able to actually experience and interact with how life is for normal teenagers. They also would be able to access places and experiences they never would as regular mutants. It also would be an updated version of the Rubber Masks, April makes for the turtles in 87 series so they didn't stand out as much as mutants.

TMNT Team up could be a collection of Robot Chicken-esk TMNT sketches.

Turtles in Time I felt could work as we do see the Turtles somewhat younger then they are normally depicted.

While the Mecha Turtles short is more of a Batman Beyond sort of storyline.
