Would be interesting to see how many fans here got to know the turtles. I'm guessing a good chunk are people who grew up with the FW cartoon.

Personally, I first knew the turtles from about the mid 2000s when i occassionally saw an episode of the 4kids cartoon come on here and there. I was entertained by the show when it came on, but never followed it seriously or really got to understand the setting.

My first offical-ish introduction to tmnt was in 2007 when me and my dad went to watch the CGI film in theatres. Like the 4kids cartoon, I was entertained and by this point, I understood the turtles' personalities, knew who splinter was and had a rough idea of their lifestyle (eating pizza, skateboarding in the sewers, having japanese martial arts skills). I even played the tmnt game on the DS and it kept me pretty occupied for a while until the tmnt phase lasted until it was overshadowed by other franchises like pokemon and call of duty.

However, it was mid 2013 when the nick cartoon was airing where I lived. By the looks of the CGI, i thought nick was adapting the 2007 tmnt movie into an animated series in a way like the penguins of madagascar and kung fu panda: legends of awesomeness. Going in, I was initially feeling a dose of nostalgia visiting the turtles again, not expecting too much but contrary to my expectations, the Nick cartoon completely blew me away and I was instantly hooked at how charming and fun it was. From there, I began to look at all the incarnations and became a huge turtles fan, with my top favourite version being a tie between the Fred Wolf and Nick cartoon.
