I think we can all agree that the original Turtles toon is a great show, probably one of the greatest cartoon shows ever. But I think we can also agree that there were things in it that made us want to turn the eye-holes in our bandanas to the back of our head sometimes.

For me?

*Mad Scientists
*Mobsters
*Too much Shredder and Krang
*Zach
*Breaking the fourth wall (Season 4 is notorious for this. It happens almost every episode at least once)
*Ridiculous science that even a five-year-old would know to be as such. Yes, it's a children's cartoon, but let's not insult a kid's intelligence.
*Turning Shredder from a credible villain to a whining, inept, guy wearing a suit of armor.
*The Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang. A huge instance of the creators insulting the intelligence of kids.

I'm sure I can think of more, and maybe I'll add some later, but what are your thoughts?
