I wonder how many little kids watching are going to say they had a crush on teen April growing up.

If they ever see 80s April or Megan Oneil they'll hit puberty in seconds.

It's hard to say, I'm not picky. Either way animation would have been a major complaint of mine, I'm not a big fan of this type. As it was, I almost missed this series due to that. Me being a big Leo fan I stuck around, I'm glad I did

The one sided April x Donnie thing bothers me still but me.

My standards for enjoying a cartoon were almost as high as it is now, except I had less patience in watching shows. My time as a kid was limited in enjoying cartoons in dealing with homework, a lot of household chores, and having to accompany my parents everywhere they went since they were divorced and obviously couldn't leave me alone in the house (going to the grocery store, clothing stores, eating out, etc.) And to top that, having to be in after-school daycare since both of my parents worked. In addition, being a kid, one just doesn't have a tolerance/patience for shows you just don't find interesting, unlike when one's an adult.

There were a few cartoons that I actually attempted to go out of my way to see (getting up early on Saturday or Sunday; forget about weekday cartoons), and therefore there were only a few that I got very attached to. Seeing how the characterizations and their development within Nick has been repetitiously underwhelming for me now, I probably wouldn't have cared about the Nick cartoon and probably wouldn't have bothered or cared about TMNT in general if Nick was my very first exposure.

For me, back then and just as it is now, if I'm going to spend and invest time in a show and especially with its characters, it has to be satisfying to my tastes. Otherwise, I just wouldn't bother watching it as a kid.

You guys have to remember kids today have more distractions with the computer, Ipad, Iphones, etc.

It's the whole reason ratings for TV in general have gone down over the years. Although if we had this same Nick show in the 90's only with hand drawn animation instead of CG, I wonder if it'd look really good.

I just can't see the new show as a handrawn show.
