Got hooked on the old toon. My dad did martial arts when I was little, and I can remember growing up watching him do chucks, and watching Bruce Lee movies and whatnot. It was just natural that my bros & I would watch a cartoon with ninja anything. Our luck it was as cool as show as TMNT!

I remember replying to a topic like this. And I'll say now what I said then. What drew me to the turtles was the very notion of their existence. I mean, turtles, known for moving slow and being docile, as ninjas. The idea was so out there it was great. And when I saw the first episode, I was hooked as soon as the theme song started.

I need to start coming here regularly again. I don't want to miss good idea topics like these ^_^.
What made me a fan? Well, I guess the attraction of the characters and secondly the attraction of the personalities and concept both combining into something special. What hooked me into TMNT is just seeing how the lads would band together wherever they were and work thier way out of something and kicked some tail along the way. I realted to each turtle in thier own individual way. The colourful and wacky merchandise was also a bonus that got me hooked.  ===HERO |

My earliest memories are of myself as a two year old making ninja turtles jump up and down on foot soldiers and yelling "TURTLE! TURTLE!"

It was the toys, though I don't remember how I got into the toys if it was a tv ad, I saw them on the stores or friends. I rarely watched the show as a kid since for some reason it didn't air in my country a lot or maybe at bad times though I did have 2 of the Burger King VHS's.
When I played with my turtles it was more anime like since its what I mostly watched on tv as a kid  I also always liked the more "mature" look the figures had than the tv show. Counting I was born in 86 the turtles had already been around for a while when I started liking them though I was still able to get all the first wave, not sure how many years they printed that wave for.

I remember watching the old TMNT cartoon in 1987 when it was shown on a random independant station and got hooked on the cartoon ever since to this day apperently.

I would have to say the new toon. I saw it when it started in 2003 and I loved it. Now I'm re-watching episodes before 'Back to the Sewers' begins.
