I've been rewatching through Season 4 and this was just the most recent ep I watched, sorry.

I was shocked to see David Wise wrote this episode, I honestly think this is his worst episode in the entire series.

Really? I'm surprised. I thought the TMNT could do no wrong!

I actually enjoyed it. It was funny despite the whole 'Mike completely forgets all about Kala and crushes on this new girl' thing. Then, is it just me or did Mike just seem too old for her anyway? Her snobby attitude just made her seem more like a little kid than a teenager, and despite the surfer slang, Mike seemed too old to be crushing on her. Maybe make her a lil taller?

My main nitpick was when Shredder unleashed a crapload of Foot Soldiers... and rather than the Turtles getting ready to fight to the death... they just stood around making 'it was nice knowing you' kind of jokes and comments. And then Buffy pushed some button that locked them away or something like that. I forgot the exact thing she did. But still.... c'mon guys... the 2K3, Nick, hell even the Archie TMNT would have at least gotten in their stances and get ready for a fight, no matter how hopeless it seemed.

Things like that always reminded me that the TMNT were more kick-ass in the Konami games and the live-action movies than the actual cartoon that the biggest source of Turtlemania at the time.

I always thought it would have been interesting for Season 7 (since that season seemed to give all the guest characters one last send off) to include Zach, Walt (Zach's older brother), Catilyn from "The Great Boldini", Buffy, Kevin from "Michelangelo Toys Around" and other kids/pre-teens in the series all attend some school function or field trip in which they were all kidnapped by Shredder or some villain.

Shredder or that villain would threaten their parents for the city's resources and wealth and use it for some evil plan of sorts. It would have been interesting to see all of these kids work together as the Turtles were rescuing them to demonstrate to the kid audience the advantages and benefits of cooperation with classmates of differing personalities/backgrounds where teasing because of those exact differences are all too common in schools.

I just wrote a "rich unhappy kid" fanfic. Your ideas sound great for you to write a fanfic about, but the problem is that some of the kids in the show may grow older before season 7's over. Maybe using season 4 works, since I can't recall any other episodes with kids after that.
