Don't get me wrong its not a classic board game by any means but for the 5 dollars it cost me I had plenty of fun with friends, nice 4 player board game to kill some time. I forgot to mention you roll dice to fight, so I guess it technically is a "beat em up" board game, heh, and because of it you can technically play it alone, though of course the more the merrier, and with 4 players its just fun to have everyone mess around.

The 2k3 show also had it's own version of Yahtzee Junior that my friends and I still play on occasion.

It's great for all my chick friends that didn't grow up with the guys, to teach them which Turtle has which color bandanna and which weapon *laughs*

I had wanted to get my hands on the Pizza Power game, but after watching this video, I may still get it just for nostalgic reasons, but I sure as hell won't play it. I hate games with overly complicated rules. Games are supposed to be fun, and consulting the rules every 3 minutes isn't fun.

A kid I knew had the 4Kids board game...we tried to play it and didn't get very far.

I own that game too. I braught it with me to my friend's house once and we took one look at the rules and decided not to play. Never tried to play it since.

There was another board game that James must've not known about. It had this big tower that you'd place these turtle shaped marbles in and they'd come out either side.

Man, James must have bad memory or just be blindingly trusting the serial numbers on the DVDs...

The Turtles ran on CBS Saturdays AND weekdays at the SAME TIME. Which was confusing for the fans because they now had 2 stories to follow. CBS had 2 eps, the first one dealing with Shredder and company, and the second one focusing on one of the Turtles and usually against a mad scientist or something. That's why we had so many episodes named after the Turtles in the DVDs. The first ep was Dimension X Story, I remember it clear as day.

However, weekdays would crank out a week of new episodes once every whenever... Their first ep was Plan 9 from Channel 6, and they had eps like... Rondo in New York, the Howie eps, the one about the movie monsters, etc.

So we had 2 versions happening at once... one where the Technodrome would be destroyed cause it was blasted upon and stuck on dimension x someplace (Plan 9) and one where it was specifically on an asteroid with a volcano (Dimension X Story). And even though the CBS eps changed stuff like having the Techndrome on the bottom of the ocean or in the antartic, the weekdays eps kept them on the dimension x asteroid. It was a confusing time. I favored the CBS eps more though cause they featured more of the newer toy characters like Mondo Gecko, Slash and such.

Since the Old Toon is famous for some of its animation mistakes, James is counting down the Top 20 Turtle Flubs!

Yo that one really had me laughing.

I thought he would mention April's ever changing bust size, sometimes it would seem it was huge because of the cleavage line they drew on her, however other times not only would they not draw a cleavage line but her jumpsuit was unzipped extremely low, so for there to be no cleavage line would mean that she is flat chested. Only logic I can find is that maybe they were only allowed to draw a "big" cleavage line if her jumpsuit was "zipped up" and they were able to sneak in the jumpsuit "zipped down" if they didn't draw a cleavage line? That always bothers me, not so much the inconsistency in size but how is it even possible for so much of her chest to be shown without a hint of a cleavage line. Re-reading that makes me sound perverted but it just looks anatomically wrong and this is the OT we're talking about.

Anyways, I wonder if anyone can think of an in-continuity reason for the animation mistakes like different bandannas/voices I'm still not sure how they were able to mess up the voices. Thought this episode was going to show stuff I was aware off but for the most part I wasn't aware of most of them and it was very funny indeed. I wonder if the still frames were animated wrong and there wasn't time to correct them in time so they just did it in a still shot or there was no budget to finish the episode like the final episodes of Evangelion.

And since I already went there, was anyone else bothered by the fact that in the 2k3 show it looks like you can see Aprils butt crack? I'm assuming its meant to be her "back" line, but the way its positioned and because its mostly shown when she's squatting it really does look like a butt crack, I'm guessing they noticed since it doesn't happen (as often?) in later seasons. My first reaction was how did they allow that. And definitely off topic but was it too hard to color April's midriff purple when she's wearing her labcoat? That looks so odd, it couldn't have been hard I think its done in a future episode why have her midriff exposed in a more "professional" lab environment?

Adam and I try in the commentaries...we attribute it to "ninja trickery." See the end of Donatello's Duplicate

Yeah, didn't we introduce that concept in our commentary on "Enter the Shredder?"

EDIT: But James might be onto something about that mutagen making the turtles "highly unstable."

EDIT x 2: D'oh! I can't believe that James omitted both the infamous "5 turtles" from "Turtle Tracks" and the "Greatest Mistake Ever Made" from "WereRats from Channel Six." MINI-EDIT: That skeleton man is pretty funny though.

Something like that...

Pop it in and find out. If you need help, load up the Fan Commentary at the 17 minute, 30 second mark.

It's so drawn out that many people seem to miss it for some reason. But it's the biggest animation problem I've ever seen in a Saturday morning.

[Jester]

I'd explain but it is very complicated...
I just wish I could watch James' video, but from what I hear, he must mention the 2 Turtle Vans from New York's Shiniest.

I can't. But if you could simply explain it...

It must be seen to be believed Powder. Mere written composition cannot do it justice.

It's an almost 5 minute boo-boo. You'd seriously have to watch it.

I agree.

My theory on how she got away with the midriff at Stocktronics was that the nightshift was pretty much a two person operation between April & Baxter, thus she probably was allowed to wear whatever she wanted.

And if we go by the Dreamwave comic adaptation, perhaps Stockman kinda liked it better that way.

Yup, it only makes the list at #11, however.
