The fact that the show started off darker resembling the DC shows like Batman/Superman and Justice League at the time got me really excited too. In fact that's what everyone compared it to when it first came out, the DC animated universe and Gargoyles...I was happy we got a TMNT show that could be compared with them

Yes, as said before, it first came to my attention in November 03, when it was being shown on Sky TV, I think it was the Cartoon Network or Jetix. I came across "Tales of Leo" and started watching from there, then went back to fill in the previous eps.

Like you say it was mature, in the vein of the likes of JL, Gargoyles etc. Truly wonderful show and the serial storytelling was fantastic. It's a shame that so many people refuse to acknowledge it because they can't see the TMNT as anything other than the FW series they were raised with.
