I Want A "Ninja Turtle Babies" Cartoon Show

I'm sure you're right, Rose (History's taught me that you usually are

).

I just want more turtles stories that leave me feeling "blessed" and redeemed, you know? "Iron Man" left me leaving the theater feeling that way.

Whereas both of the last Batman movies (much as I loved them) left me shuffling out the theater feeling condemned and damned by fate.

And as much as I appreciate that kind of work, when done well (like in the Batman movies), I don't necessarily enjoy it.

That first Turtles film (he said, putting on his old man pants

) really mixed the two pretty much perfectly. There was humor. There was seriousness. There was great character development.

Like everyone else, I totally loved it.

I'm glad I didn't post my original alt-turtle idea for you though, Rose:

I want it to be like the "Friends" show was when I was a a teen. I want the Turtles to look like they did whenever Michael Dooney draws them. And I want them to hang out at a trendy little coffee shop ("The Sewer"), where they can talk to one another about their problems with life, their jobs, and love. Here's my rough idea for a cast: April O'Neil: Monica Shadow: Rachel Leonardo: Ross Donatello: Phoebe Michelangelo: Chandler Raphael: Joey Splinter would be the guy who runs the coffeeshop, and Casey could be one of Monica's crazy ex-boyfriends. I want this show to be super-popular with 30-somethings, and with their kids (who'll think the characters are just cool). I want it, because my gut tells me that the CSI-DARK KNIGHT-OMG-REALISTIC-SUPERHEROES-FRANK MILLER-FOREVER!!!1111 backlash is coming. People want to have fun again. And it's always fun to see pampered people in places you don't live complaining about the superficial problems of their fake, TV-world lives. I want a show called TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE FRIENDS, and I want it to be the most popular thing in the world. Who's with me?
