Anyone still prefer the classic series?

I love the 2k3 series and think it's one of the most interesting cartoons out there. I love how the characters mesh and how the plots are written.

Maybe not, but it still is very corny and campy. The OT to TMNT is what the 1960s Batman show is to Batman. While being over-the-top in a lot of ways that make some of the more hardcore comic fans cringe, its success launched TMNT into mainstream pop-culture and is looked upon fondly by a lot of people even if it isn't the "real" interpretation of the TMNT.

So much so, in fact, that its hard to say how long it'll take before something "real" can come out without having the masses go "But why is this nothing like the OT? Screw this!"
