Favorite episodes

Filespit · 10-12-2011, 01:32 PM

I was looking through this whole catalog and couldn't find this kind of thread, although there was one that said "favorite season 6 episode".
So, what are your favorite OT episodes and why, and what episodes do you have the most fond memories off? I'll start;

First of all, the entire first season is my definite favorite. I especially love the scene in episode 1 when the turtles save April at the start of the episode, much thanks to the score played during it. Other episodes I have fond memories are;

The Case of the Killer Pizzas: I remember I had this on VHS, and I watched it over and over again.

20,000 Leaks Under the Sea: I remember the giant squid freaked me out every time I watched this, with it's long arms and everything.

Attack of Big MACC: I remember this one as well. My grandfather had it on tape I think, watched it everytime I was at his place.

The Four Musketurtles: Got fond memories of this one, I watched a lot as a kid.

Turtles at the Earth's Core: One of my all-time favorites! I had this one on tape and watched it over and over again. I got ecstatic everytime the turtles assaulted the Technodrome and the battle theme starts!

Take Me to Your Leader: I had this on both VHS and on "audiobook". It was a tape I played on the tape recorder where they described all the actions. To then watch it as an episode was just so awesome.

The Making of Metalhead: My grandfather had this on tape as well, so watched it everytime I was at his place.

Your turn!

To my experience, it was always the episodes I had on videotape by Family Home Entertainment, as they were always the most memorable watching them over and over again. The exception was Mutagen Monster, and for some weird reason I was afraid of the line "Donatello? Who is Donatello?" After watching the episode for the first time, for the next several years I would immediately push the eject button after the first episode, Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop was over. I didn't understand at the time, but now I think it had to do with the alternate voice, and whenever I watch this now, I say in my head, "Not you!" I will try to post polls of various seasons like I'm doing for the 4kids so we can complete the opinions.

My three favorite episodes are the episodes from season ten featuring Shredder and Krang. I'm surprised that the creators didn't finish the season with those episodes just in case the show didn't get an eleventh season (which ended up being the case). I think those episodes could've served as a great series finale.

The Eye Of Sarnoff episodes. Baxter Stockman finally grows a spine.

The episodes where the Technodrome finally reaches the Earth's surface after being underground for so long.

Where the alien tourist comes to Earth. The part where Krang shrieks "Made in Taiwan"? when he examines the supposed alien camera had me in stitches.

The ones with Casey Jones (too bad he only played a minor role in the TV series).

Just off the top of my head.

The Big Cufflink Caper.

'Nuff said.

As much as the plot point is overused I love the brain swap episodes The Old Switch-a-roo and Cowabunga, Shred Head. Not so much the one where Raph mind-swaps with a cabbie.

Ok, the question mark threw me off.

rufus · 10-13-2011, 09:09 PM

I put the question mark due to the fact that I couldnt remember if that was the name of the episode and was to lazy to pop in the disc to check.

Season 6 has a lot of fantastic episodes. It was both a return to action (although not quite to Season 7 levels), but also had some of the funniest comedy of the series.

cryan · 10-15-2011, 11:34 AM

I know a lot of people harp on season 4,but there are some gems in that season.Here are a few I like:

Dimension X story
Big Bug off
Great Cufflink caper
Raephel meets his match(you know why)
Splinter Vanishes
Wererats from Channel 6

The only vacation episode I do like is "A real Snowjob".Mainly because April calls out Krang and yes they used a diffenet voice for Raph.The ones from seasons 1-3 are very good.Though there are some stinkers.So,that just the jest of the episodes that are my faves.

*CyberCubed* · 10-15-2011, 11:37 AM

Season 4 had some great episodes, the problem is that season was 40 episodes, so there were clearly those rush-job Season 4 eps in there that weren't as good as the others.

I think overall Season 3 had a much better structure for the series which is why it was prefered over Season 4.

Also, "Shredder's Mom" was another fantastic ep of Season 4. Not just because of the humor of his mother, but the whole story of flying into Dimension X, opening portals to bounce beams over antenna's etc was very fun.
