Little odd observation from the OS...

After watching so much of the new series and the original movies lately, where there is a general emphasis on the turtles specifically being brothers, it came to my attention that in the original series episodes that I've seen, there are no such references. The guys always refer to each other as their buddies/friends/etc., and even Splinter calls them "my young friends" on occasion.

The only reference I can recall is when Mike and Leo are transformed back into little kids, and one of them refers to Raph and Don as "our big brothers". But aside from that, nothing else.

I'm just curious as to why the original series might have this little difference compared to other incarnations?
