I forgot about that. Bebop had Splinter by the neck there at one point didn't he? It's been years since I've seen any of the OT. In the first season, or at least the first few episodes they were actually a threat, then they kind of nerfed them.

They also went back to how they first started out during the last normal cbs episodes and the last few red sky episodes we saw them in as well.

During which season did the turtles switch over to USA?

it was never switched over to usa they only ever played the reruns on usa.
The only new episodes they ever played where the lost vacation episodes.

I remember watching those as a kid. Did Raph have that alternate voice the whole vacation series? I didn't like that voice too much, but holy ****, it was SOOOO much better than his alternate voice for season 3, you could tell he was at least trying to sound like Raph. I have a couple episodes recorded actually, one of them (the Italian one) has Jim Cummings as Shredders voice... good verteran voice actor (I love his Leatherhead, and Tigger too) but his crack at Saki was cringe worthy

yeah raph did...and about shredders voice change you it's odd in some episodes it bothers me but say like in the red sky or the last few cbs episodes before red sky when the shows tone started to change it didn't bother me at all.

I sense a pattern...we agree again! I actually didn't mind Shredder's voice in the Red Sky episodes. Jim Cummings tried so hard in the vacation episodes, but dang!! He just didn't do it for me...he reminded me too much of Nega Duck in Darkwing Duck

And don't even get me started about the Raphael alternative for the earlier episodes

It's too bad all the villains, especially Bebop and Rocksteady didn't retain their hardcore attitudes from season 1 throughout the series...oh well. They were always entertaining!!

I voted for Rocksteady cause I kinda like Bebop. He`s emotional and smarter than Rocksteady

Speedbreaker · 07-10-2007, 05:51 AM

I don't know if this counts for anything, but according to their profiles on the official website, Rocksteady was, according to Bebop, the smartest person he knew until he met "da boss", so I guess that means Bebop is, by his own admission, dumber than Rocksteady.

*Scandia* · 07-24-2007, 08:10 PM

After watching "Leonardo is missing", it is pretty clear that Bebop is definitely more useless and stupid than Rocksteady.

OrangeMike · 07-25-2007, 07:35 AM

In the first season, they were more difficult to beat and more violent, but as the show progressed they got even dumber and more useless. Personally, I liked how they acted more in the first season than they did later on. Anyway I always liked Rocksteady better for some reason.

I agree. The entire action in the series was much better during the first two seasons.

I agree rocksteady did seem to be the leader of the duo. I cant stop cracking up at krang's thought extractor saying No data to extract when the extractor went on their brains.

Watch this video of Rocksteady and Bebop, and notice the music that is in the background when they are fighting the turtles:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsP6qrMY9bI

Why did they stop using that music for them? It only played in Enter the Shredder and Shredder is splintered. It was good background music.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 07-29-2007, 09:13 AM

I guess the show was meant to be really silly after season 1 (and still campy in season one, but it got sillier), but it would have been cool for Bebop and Rocksteady to be a little more intimidating.

With that said, Rocksteady probably would have been a tad more intimidating than Bebop. I just think a giant version of an animal that likes to gore things would be a little more intimidating. So Bebop is ever so slightly the more useless one.

I think I know the tune you were talking about without even clicking the file, cause it IS a very rarely used theme.

The only OTHER time that tune ever appeared in the normal series is in the 'Gang's all here' episode, the few moments after Mikey first turned human after eating those Mutagen-laced cookies.

*shuriken* · 07-31-2007, 09:10 PM

I would say Rocksteady, even though I like him more I always felty that Bebop was a better fighter, plus with the Exclusion of the first TMNT game he's always the first boss.

TMNTserbia · 08-05-2007, 04:24 AM

Hmmmm....Bebop.

Well, while Homer is stupid, Peter is clinically retarded. (refer please to Petarded).

I always felt that Rocksteady was the dumber, more childish one in the group. And while Bebop is a moron as well, he usually seems to keep a cooler head (maybe just his voice) and comes up with a lot of snappy come backs (maybe more than Rocksteady). I always had an impression he was just a little smarter.

I do kinda like Rocksteady better, though. But out of a choice of three of them, including that Bat guy, the Bat guy, cuz he was only in 2 episodes and he did nothing.

Ledezman · 08-06-2007, 10:36 AM

I prefer Bebop over Rocksteady because he's funnier and cooler I think... the way he speaks and all. But he is definitely dumber than Rocksteady lol. Voted for Bebop. I remember this episode where Shredder had a machine that generated holograms and stuff and eventually makes him think he is Michaelangelo because of a malfunction. Stupid Bebop screwed up the machine by inserting a diskette backwards... Rocksteady warned him about the diskette but Bebop ignored him
