Personally, besides the dreaded FF (Fast Forward) season, I think season five of 2k3 was one of the worst ever.

*Scandia* · 12-11-2009, 10:41 AM

OT- season 5

NT- season 4 since they prolonged Leo's agony waaaaaaay too much

*ToTheNines* · 12-11-2009, 10:45 AM

Season 5 for both.

I liked all the OT seasons, but for season five we lost alot of the old background music, Townsend tweaked Michaelangelo's voice, plots got even dumber... But at least it improved afterwards.

I hate NT season 5, it's just plain dumb. As awful as season 7 was, we still got to see cool stuff (Stockman-Shredder, Foot Turtles, real combat, etc.).

ryukenden · 12-11-2009, 12:26 PM

Fast Forward was really down there when it comes to the NT.

For OT, Season 5 and Donny breaking his bo all the time I disliked seeing all the time. I never liked Mikey trading his nunchaku for a grappling hook.

*CyberCubed* · 12-11-2009, 03:31 PM

For the old toon, it was the European Vacation eps. Season 5 had some decent eps.

For the new toon, probably some of the worse FF or BTTS episodes, but there are still good episodes in both.

*Icebot* · 12-11-2009, 05:16 PM

Old toon: Season 9 since Shredder and Krang weren't in it at all.

New toon: Fast Forward since it doesn't take place in the right time period for the turtles, too many new villains at one time.

the **** that comes on the WB...i liked the older turtle seasons

ohh and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation

*Spitfire* · 12-12-2009, 11:29 PM

The European Vacation episodes are hands down some of the worst the series has to offer. Season 7 as a whole however is great so I can't hate the whole season just for that. Season 3 had some **** episodes but it was so long I can't blame them.

All in all BTTS is the worst season of any turtles toon. It has barely any redeeming qualities.

You hate BTTS more than Fast Forward? Interesting. Please explain.

*gobo* · 12-13-2009, 01:44 AM

classic 'toon: I count all syndicated eps beyond Season 3 as Syndicated Season 4. Those are the ones that make me want to tear my eyes out. "TURTLES OF THE JUNGLE", "PLAN SIX FROM OUTER SPACE", Hokum Hare... all make me sick.

He liked Fast Forward better than a lot of what came before it. I didn't appreciate it that much, but it's less boring than BttS. BttS was a season full of sloppily thrown together, mildly-amusing eps with low replay value. Neat concepts, but poor execution.

Dejablue · 12-13-2009, 02:38 AM

Heh yeah I can see what you're talking about. None of the baddies seemed to be on their game. The plot felt half thought out. And I think it was because the villain should not have been the Shredder in any way shape or form.

They could have used someone else. There are many other enemies to use in the Turtleverse. Heck they could have made up a bad guy. I don't care. After nearly 6 seasons of Shredder being the main villain and dying and resurrecting so many times even someone as serious and threatening as he is will start to wear on you and make you groan.

Its just like..Dude...DIE PLEASE!

I would have accepted it if Viral had remained the bad guy I mean she's a cyber virus monster from the FUTURE. She could have done some damage. Made some alliances. Wrecked some havoc to a (in her eyes) very primitive Earth. But nooo she had "die" and they had to bring back ol Bucket head again! Arg even I'm tired of looking at him.

The last episode should have been touching. But I think it just insults most people. I guess the magic of Casey and April's wedding made all the bad guys want to never hurt them ever again or something.

FF did a lot of things BTTS didn't. For one it had some fresh ideas. BTTS just tried to milk 2K3 some more but failed to do so by making it even more kiddie. Sure FF wasn't super serious either but the tones of the stories were a lot more mature then those in BTTS. I also liked the mix, it felt like the new toon mixed with the old toon. Some people hate that but it worked well for me.

I also enjoyed the villains. I'm a mad season 2 never made it to air. They had some great ideas planned. It took time to grow on me but once it did I liked it a lot.

Being a comic purist makes me dislike a good portion of the earlier 2K3 episodes. I liked the new stories best and FF had all new ones.

ryukenden · 12-13-2009, 04:10 AM

The animation in BTTS for me really looked out of place. For some reason I did not like the Turtles having pupils since I was so used to seeing them without them throughout the series. At least they looked exactly as they have been known for in Turtles Forever.

European vacation was definitely my least favorite as well. The Next Mutation made the OT Turtles look like the Mirage Turtles.

Rat King just wanted some cake....

And well, Turtles Forever prooved that Hun and the Dragons were still out committing crimes anyway. I'm sure he still had a few fights left with the Turtles even after the wedding.

Fred Wolf cartoon: Season 2, Season 4, "European Vacation"

Season 2 contains terrible animation and a wildly inconsistant tone. Also, thirteen episodes of Shredder in a row is tiring. Season 4 is a mess, forty-some episodes long and maybe five or six of the lot are enjoyable. The "European Vacation" episodes emobody every fault the show ever had, with recycled plots and wet towel jokes.

4Kids cartoon: Season 7/Back to the Sewer. The worst animation of the series, ludicrous plots even for a kids' show, took itself far too seriously, and again, the villain becomes incredibly boring.

Season 5 takes a close second for all the same reasons, and also has the dubious distinction of having the second worst run of animation on the show.

Dejablue · 12-13-2009, 05:42 PM

season 5 of 2k3 kinda felt alienating to me with the whole mystical powers of the ancient Japanese gods thing...

prescribeddrone · 12-13-2009, 06:01 PM

I liked all 7 seasons on NT, but BTTS is the 'worst' of it, I agree. The pupils were a big meh as well.

As for OT, I'm not sure. I haven't watched the seasons in years. Probably the season that's the most goofy, as I prefer the red sky era.

*ToTheNines* · 12-13-2009, 07:05 PM

"Ninja Tribunal" is worse than BttS because none of the episodes actually standout, it was one big clump of sh*t.

holy_guacamole · 12-16-2009, 12:56 PM

Season three of the old cartoon for sure. Also, the European Vacation section of season seven. I don't even think I have to explain why those two are the worst, even though season three had some great episodes, the majority of them were just plain horrid.

As for the new cartoon, who cares? As far as I can tell, every season is the same--every episode is the same: twenty minutes of fighting and over the top action, Michelangelo screaming like a girl, someone saying, "What the shell?" every five seconds--it's too repetitive and too much. I can watch a disc of the old cartoon no problem. I can only handle a few episodes of the new cartoon before I get bored.
