Now, it is ... what it is. It's a kids TV show from the 80's, nostalgia aside, no worse or better than others of it's day.
I couldn't disagree more. Many of the classic cartoons of the 1980s, such as both MOTU shows, Thundercats, The Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show, and especially the shows intended for girls, are close to unwatchable to me as an adult because of their glaring lack of self-awareness. TMNT managed to tick the boxes of their formula while also having jokes that were still funny to the adults. I will grant it had some competition, such as The Real Ghostbusters, but that had the benefit of being based on a comedy movie not intended for kids.
