Yes..comedy gold there. It was also worth sitting through "Ogg" to set up Shredder's line at the end of "The Big Blow Out"..."It could be worse..we could've wound up in Dimension Z."

I really don't care for April's Fool. Is it just me or does the worst plots for the show always seem to have the cheapest animation as well?

I also don't care for Raphael nocks 'em dead, the animation was good but the jokes made my eyes water they were so bad. I would think that an episode starring Baxter's brother would be better than that.

Not much to say now... but I do hate one episode that hasn't been mentioned so far.

While it's part of a good story arc, I really hate "The Big Break In" for some reason. I don't know why, but it just puts me to sleep.

EDIT: Oh, right the cookies exploded, but they only found that out after Mikey ate one.
I agree, not only did Mike somehow lose his skateboard skills but also all his strength? April was stronger than him. Geez, does being a mutant turtle somehow make you stronger, a great skateboarder and easier to learn martial arts?

Ok, so I'm watching Were-Rats from Channel 6 and you all know how I love mistakes in the OT, and here's a doozie:

So Leo, Mikey, Raph, and Splinter go to the airport to stop Vernon, Irma, and the Rat King from stealing the cheese while Donnie gets the Turtle Blimp. At the air port Donnie reappears, sometimes with just 2 other turtles, and occasionally all 3. In fact the doozie is that all 4 Turtles, Vernon and Irma fall out of the plane, only to be saved by, you guessed it, Donatello in the Turtle Blimp....WHAT!?

Let's not forget in New York's Shiniest when Shredder's evil Rex-1 clones forced the turtles to dump their Van into the river, and later we see April and Splinter driving ANOTHER Turtle Van.... when did they get two?

Hey, if Donatello can make one out of spare parts in an evening and still later had the access to the workshop to finish and paint a blimp in an afternoon, there's no reasn why there can't be two vans.

But that's just me justifying things.

I agree with the fact the baby turtles were beyond annoying, and the dialogue was real bad at some points ("Wouldn't you rather watch the Turtle that Ate Pizza?")... but the entire idea of Krang forcing Shredder to work with a partner- especially since Shredder's ego and jealousy ruined a perfectly good chance to really destroy the turtles- was the bright point of the episode.

I remember liking Back to the Egg as a kid. I wonder if I'll like it as an adult, too.

I have a hard time coming up with "bad episodes". Maybe it's because I have a hard time remembering a lot of them, or maybe it's because I tend to accept all of them as being cheesy fun. If I rewatch season three I'm probably bound to come up with a couple.

I know as a kid there was an episode with Raphael and some mobsters that I didn't like very much.

I liked Back to the Egg and the other Baby Turtles one.

But then, I love all the Toddler Turtles episodes in the NT. And the flashback issues of Archie featuring them.

I liked the Tales issue where they run into Leatherhead as toddlers.

this episode irritates me to no end, why the hell would the turtles have special powers by being huge talking turtles? It shouldn't have had any bearing on the turtles physical abilites at all. Not only that the excution of the episode sucked. Mike turning into a human was such a plot device, and a poor one at that. Plus human Mike looked like such a geek.

"Leonardo, Renaissance Turtle" is probably the most unwatchable episode I can remember at the moment.

And overall, Season Four had alot of duds in it. Though I'd like to pre-emptively defend "Leonardo Lightens Up" because its freaking hilarious.

I also don't understand the hate for "Rebel Without a Fin." Yes, they altered Man Ray's character, and yes it was filled with groan-inducing puns, but I've always loved the episodes with mutant villains, and the action was decent.
