Have the writers of TNM ever weighed in on the continuity issues?

does splinter have a damaged ear in TMNT? they look fine in various clips on youtube (the movie have little re-watch value to skim through just for that) and the action figure have both ears intact.

but his ear is damaged in TNM, and shredder looks like he have a scar, or he's just wrinkly. Horrible quality on youtube.

it's been a while since I had a see through the TMN show, but after 5 min.... It's the worst show I have ever seen, crap after crap after crap. stupid puns, costumes at low rent quality, the acting..... ugh!

the idea, the pitch for TMN was a continuation for the movies, but somewhere down the line it just got muddied up, and really is just up for personal taste, and what you let fly with the inconsistency.

for me I see it as a alternative version using the three movies as a (loose) basis.
in the same sense as Archie shares the first OT season, they have similarities, but are vastly different.
