Does anyone here still enjoy the 80s series?

I do.
Despite the fact that in this day and age, all wannabe cool edgy kids, accompanied by "purists" (LOL) love to **** on this series as something sacrilegious and VERY bad, I consider OT being quite a good 80s cartoon. It's fun, it's extremely lighthearted and doesn't worry about consistency. It's something that you can watch and laugh (and sometimes cringe, but in a fun way).

It's just pure fun, which explains why some people intent on putting this series down, because nobody want fun today. Everyone (or at least some vocal people) nowadays want DARK GRIM CONTINUITY WITH SERIOUS THEMES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES AND NO FUN ALLOWED BECAUSE FUN AND LIGHTHEARTEDNESS IS DUMB AND FOR KIDS AND IDIOTS WITH **** TASTE. Things are slowly going away from it, but there are still plenty of this water.

This kids and purists should understand when and why this series was made and see it for what it is: a cartoonish (action) comedy. It seems some people expect this series (any TMNT series, really) to be DARKGRIMDARKNESSACTIONBLOODKILLMURDERNINJAACTION, which this show was never supposed to be in the first place.
Their complaints are like ******** on a comedy show for not being a gory horror movie. Senseless, like most of the complaints nowadays.
