So how did the Turtles get the human things in their lair?

Also you are not "unlikable." Fight for your right to defend 4kids Mikey even if other think he's awful.

Well I'm not sure why he's the putz. I'm still gonna guess party dude though.

I don't know. I just feel like I'm not very well liked here. I could be wrong since it's just the air of threads that makes me feel that way but maybe my personality is a part of it.

theres nothing wrong with your personality.

I like that explanation.

Food for thought: If you had a pet dog who suddenly mutated, would you still feed him dog food out of habit & because it's all he's ever known? In Splinter's case, maybe it was just easier to keep feeding the Turtles what they were already used to, versus having to go out and scavenge for food. I don't think we've seen what Splinter typically eats yet.

Splinter eats out of the dumpsters of five star restaurants. Great dad in the making. XD

Isn't it obvious, Ebay.

[rattrap109]

one of 3 ways splinter brought it with him or went up to get or don put stuff together with junk that ended up in the sewers

Lets face it, all of this its because of poor writting, how can someone not know about other food like Pizza and have TV and internet? Youd think the turtles never questioned Splinter about all this stuff in over 15 years?.

All of this could have fitted a little better in the old series, but still they had a TV then.

The new series may have good jokes, lovable characters but it kinda sucks in the plot department, that's why I still think the 2k3 is better at the moment.

They didn't have internet till April showed them, I'm sure. They just had a TV.

[FearlessLeader]

Maybe with the limited diet the Turtles have and the fact Splinter is Japanese and maybe doesn't like American Cuisine that they just didn't know what pizza was?

I guess the real question is could you shelter kids enough that they wouldn't know about such a staple of most people's diets??

Without knowing the TV situation (what channels they have, how Splinter monitors it I guess we will never completely know.)

I do think it would have served the plot slightly better of they would have had the guys surprised by more human things other then just pizza. Like I was bemused by the fact they all had skateboards this past episode.

I am thoroughly enjoying this show either way, but it's something to think about in discussions!

They never had pizza because Splinter could never get it for them. How is a 6 foot tall rat supposed to pick up a pie of pizza?

I'm not gonna say the show is poorly written. But I do think this is all because the crew just really wanting the show the turtles discover pizza.

And they're still getting pizza, somehow...

TRENCH COATS?!

It's not so much that they never had pizza that is slightly baffling but the fact they have absolutely no clue what pizza is. I think had they just never tried it before that would have been a lot more understandable

The funny thing is I am pretty certain every time we have seen them get it on screen so far they have just taken it from some poor baffled delivery man.

Pizza guys in NYC are going to hate Turtles! *laughs*

I assume April also gets it for them maybe??

Darn. Forgot about April...
I'd rather it be trench coats. Mikey would have a field day if he found a way to disguise himself (not that he let's it stop him, now).
