"The Switch" from 1993 to 1994

Does anyone out there have any information on why the cartoon series switched to a darker tone in 1994, as compared to the lighter fare of years past?

Were rating slipping, and the producers felt a shakeup would help things? Were people getting bored with the same format? Personally, I never liked the harder-edged turtles; I never read the comic book, and all I grew up on was the goofy good-natured cartoon series.

Maybe this is why I am a little worried about the new up-coming cartoon.
