Have you seen every episode of the original cartoon?

Um, good for you?

Kidding aside, I salute you both. I fell off some time after the show went to CBS.

Since the 2003 show rekindled my interest in TMNT, I ended up revisiting the 80s series through the DVDs. So I kept getting the seasons as they came out.

I didn't see every episode new when it first aired, but I'm pretty sure I saw all of them on TV back in the early 90's. Even the Euro Vacation eps on USA I believe.

Man I must have only been 11 years old or so but somehow I saw every episode before it ended, and then even watched all of Next Mutation after that.

Seen them all including The planet of the Turtleoids part 1 & 2 and once upon Time Machine.

Yep. All, at least three times each. My store-bought VHS eps, more like 15-20 times each. I hadn't seen the last half of Season 10 until around 2000 though.

I picked the 80% option. I love the OT when I do, which is most of the time, but then...there are a few eps I just can't finish as an adult.

I've seen every episode at least three times. Twice in 2011 and once last year as I was compiling the "reference the old toon" section. I've also seen each 2003 episode at least once. I've only seen about half of Next Mutation, but of course have seen every Nick episode so far. Nowadays, I'm discovering how many foreign dubs of the series are found online. I've watched certain OT episodes in English, Spanish, French, German, Portugese, Dutch, Swedish, Hebrew, Russian, Japanese, and Italian. It proves how global the TMNT's success is.

Well, some episodes got interrupted by the Clearance Thomas hearings and some other things like that.

[DVD]

Onto season 9 disc from the van.
I spent a couple of hours on line on the iPad this afternoon with 2K3 episodes playing. And this, looks a little cheaper !
However, the Blimp is on screen now !!

I've probably seen about half or so when it was on TV back in the 90's (loved it back then), but as an adult I've only re-watched/seen a small handfull of episodes. Too goofy for me nowadays to stand watching much of it.

The goofy aspect is why the show is still worth watching

[tone-master21]

I seen the whole series a number of times.

This reminds me of when I was 10 back in 1992 and it was Saturday morning...I was watching TMNT...and it was interrupted by a Christopher Columbus 500 year anniversary special. Ohhhhh I was so upset.

Anyways...this show I watched until the end. I have seen all the earlier ones multiple times. Some more than others. I used to record the show on VHS and keep my favorites to watch many times. Seasons 8-10 I've seen twice. Once the first time around and the second last fall.
