What Was the Worst Episode of the Cartoon Series? - Page 2

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-06-2002, 09:26 PM

Wow, that's the same reason why I started getting the eps again too!

Here's all the VHS's that I've owned in the past:

-Cowabunga Shredhead (with New York's Shiniest)
-Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop (with Mutagen Monster)
-Pizza by the Shred (with Return of the Fly)
-The Great Boldini (Burger King)
-Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers (Burger King)
-Sky Turtles (Burger King)
-April Fool (Burger King)

My mom also rented the "Heroes in a Half-Shell" VHS (which contained Turtle Tracks and Enter The Shredder) when I was about 4 or 5 (somewhere around late 1988 or early 1989), which she then recorded over to a Beta tape; she used the Beta recorder instead of the VHS so she could get the better quality of recording and use less videotape.

There's too many rented VHS's to remember for me to list...all I know is that each time was a great moment in my life, and my dad made it habit for us (my sister and I) to go to the nearest Blockbuster Video or wherever to get stuff on Friday nights. Sometimes I would be the one to get the TMNT, other times she would get TMNT. Yes, my sister did and still does like TMNT, though not as much as she used to. In fact, she and I used to play with my action figures all the damn time!

Ah...the only tmnt vhs i owned according to my dad were some taped off tv...my dad said he taped em for me all the time

i guess it's true, i can't really remember...those tapes are gone now tho i don't have em anymore...i don't even remember i ever had em

All the vhs i got now is the tmnt movies 2 and 3 which i taped off tv some months ago (i was really REALLY surprised to find tmnt in tv =P )
But that's ok since i got the rest of the videos in divx...in fact if it weren't for the tmnt i would've never know what a divx was.
I used to go to a videoclub that had lots of vhs tapes (duh

) and in the cartoon section (my fave section

) they had lots of tapes of cartoons series, movies, and stuff, and they had a bunch of tmnt tapes too...i don't think that's where i rented the tapes i saw years ago tho but still...
Now the videoclub is gone i think.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-06-2002, 10:05 PM

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I still have the VHS movies of 1 and 2 (the box to TMNT 1 you can tell is old by the wear and tear). My dad and I planned ahead on buying the first one, but I never the second one was out until the day my mom, sister and I were at K-Mart and noticed a shelf full of TMNT 2 copies. Luckily just a day later we started seeing ads for it on TV.

Yeah, another weird thing is that my dad likes TMNT too, but just watches it. Just last month on my birthday he was going off on some tangent about his hatred of Spongebob Squarepants, and I commented, "I'm with you on that one. If anything, I'm getting back into my old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze." His response: "God, I love those guys, especially the movies!". Mind you, my dad is 53 years old...funky, huh?

**azure turtle** · 11-06-2002, 11:28 PM

Dude... I think that's awesome, Rez! My parents don't share the same enthusiasm as I do about TMNT... Sure they'll watch it, but only when I have dibs on the TV.

**Karpo_007** · 11-07-2002, 05:50 AM

I thin im the only one in my family with this big TMNT intrest. But my little brother likes the cartoon. Im more into Mirage.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-07-2002, 08:09 AM

Well, sadly for me, Karpo, I was one of those kids who thought the TV show came first. Thankfully, I have seen the light pretty recently and now know about the Mirage series...

**Karpo_007** · 11-07-2002, 10:33 AM

I knew about the series when the cartoon came out, diffrent thing is would i have been intrested in it back then. Probably not, it's directed towards older people.

Hey, just replying to this topic. There are a few episodes that I put on different levels of likeness.

'What's Michaelangelo Good For' was actually among my favourites because, with him being my favourite, he finally prooves his worth and saves the day!

A few that I never really liked a whole lot include 'The Case Of The Killer Pizzas'.
I always thought 'Beneath These Streets' was a boring one because nothing really eventful happens. The 'Maltese Hamster' misses Krang. There are a few others too but those are just some. I have a big list of episodes that I LOVE though![/list]

So does Corporate Raiders from Dimension X, now that I think of it. In fact, there's no Technodrome at all. Maybe Pat Fraley was sick during those episodes...

*Deathknight* · 11-10-2002, 10:00 PM

Yeah, there were a couple of episodes that had missing bad guys like that... off the top of my head, Back to the Egg had Shredder and Krang but no Bebop and Rocksteady, the Maltese Hamster and Corporate Raiders from Dimension X (like you people mentioned) have shredder, bebop and rocksteady but no Krang. Turtles of the Jungle also had Shredder and Krang but no Bebop and Rocksteady.. I'm not going to bother my brain anymore tonight to think of anymore examples but here are the official vhs I own:
Heroes in a Half Shell(Turtles Tracks and Enter: The Shredder_
Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X( with A thing about rats)
The Shredder is Splintered (Return of the Shredder)
Case of the Killer Pizzas (Enter: the Fly)
Cowabunga Shredhead (New York's Shiniest)
Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop (Mutagen Monster)
Attack of Big Macc (Old Switcheroo)
Pizza by the Shred (Return of the Fly)
Beyond the Donatello Nebula (Big Bug Blunder)
Unidentifed Flying Leonardo (Foot Soldiers are Revolting)
Planet of the Turtleoids
Return of the Turtleoid(Zach and the Alien Invaders)
Leonardo Lightens up (Leonardo Vs. Tempestra)
Donatello's Degree (Donatello Makes time)
Raphael meets his match (Raphael knocks em dead)
MIchelangelo Meets Bugman (Badly damaged) (What's Michelangelo Good for)
Also waiting for from ebay:
Big Blow out (Peking Turtles)
Four Turtles and a baby (Shredder's Mom)
Big Zipp Attack (Farewall, Lotus Blossum)

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-10-2002, 10:28 PM

Damn, DK...that's a lot. Many of those are ones that I've rented.

Do you know how people say you need to be a kid again sometimes? Well, re-introducing myself to TMNT makes me believe that. In fact, and I'm being 100% serious here, it almost makes me cry that those childhood days and that weekly Friday routine is now a thing of the past. God, how I much I miss it now...

EDIT: And just to get a little contest going, can anybody guess the episode that my avatar's from?

*Deathknight* · 11-11-2002, 05:38 AM

The one thing I really regret not only with tmnt, but with many other shows is that I didn't tape them... now I have to deal with lower quality than I could of had. *sigh*. And your pic Rez... I don't feel like hurting my brain thinking of what ep that was, although it kinda looks like My Brother, the Bad Guy but I highly doubt it.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-11-2002, 03:27 PM

You shouldn't have doubted yourself...because you are correct.

Spike The Xenomorph · 11-11-2002, 08:14 PM

I'd like to apologize to yall Muckman fans out there about the earlier comment. It wasn't him I was referring to, it was Mutagen Man.

Sorry again.

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 11-11-2002, 08:44 PM

I'm the only one in my family who has an appreciation for the Ninja Turtles. My parents don't think they're dumb or anything, but they do think I'm a little old for the show.

I guess in some ways I'll always be a kid at heart. The Ninja Turtles brought me joy 10 years ago, and they can still bring me joy now.

Everybody else I know says the exact same thing. My reply? "For the record, just know that TMNT didn't start out as a kids item. NYAH!

"

In fact just today I talked to the guy who sits behind me in my English class, who still kinda likes TMNT, but referred to it as a kids thing, just as I expected. I went on to tell him about the original Mirage comic and the Red Sky episodes. His reply? "Sweet!"

*Jephael* · 11-12-2002, 07:15 PM

This one girl in my English class seems to like the fic I wrote, but I don't think she knows much of TMNT so I gave her some pics I printed out of them and she really liked them as well.

*Deathknight* · 11-12-2002, 09:27 PM

the reason I doubted myself is I've never seen that episode in good quality like the picture is there... hehe now, try to guess what episode my picture is from... it's kinda small though cause it was a bitmap to start out with.
