When I said to him "The only thing I wish was that we could have seen the 80s turtles animated fighting Tigerclaw."
I don't know if he's just messing around as he and Ciro like to do that a lot or that's really how they consider the story to go.

Yeah, that had to have been a joke. That'd be a pretty lousy way to kill off characters with about 200 TV appearances. (And I feel like there's no way they'd close the door on potential future appearances/cameos.)

I'm not opposed to seeing them again, but that's not a well they should go to that often - a little nostalgia goes a long way, and this show needs to keep standing on its own strengths.

But after the "crossover" episode was announced some time ago, I was happy to see them show so much restraint with only a few brief cameos in a couple of episodes. I think they know what they're doing.

That said, I'd be pretty happy to see a brief '03 Turtles cameo at some point...
