Thank you 4kids.tv and print screen.

*Ninjinister* · 10-26-2008, 01:27 PM

Thanks Jest! I still am unable to see the preview, so I appreciate the screencap.

**Jester** · 10-26-2008, 01:40 PM

Yeah, I was trying to remedy that too, but it's still a no go.

BAXTER STOCKMAN 19 · 10-26-2008, 02:00 PM

i didnt see the episode.. Why it is not on youtube yet???

*Ninjinister* · 10-26-2008, 09:55 PM

Or... you could have patience and watch it LEGALLY when 4Kids uploads it.

*Spitfire* · 10-26-2008, 10:49 PM

I didn't like it but I didn't hate it. Some parts were bad but at least the turtles weren't half as annoying as they were in "Fathers and Sons".

I felt Serling needed his own episode I just wish they didn't use it to give people more of a reason to hate his character. The only reason sitting through wasn't unbearable was because of Serling. I see the purpose for episodes like this the little tykes need episodes to like too.

Best defense againist that statement is "their player sucks". I'm sure most will agree with me when I say that it's hard to enjoy any of their videoes when it starts buffering every 5 seconds. That is assuming it plays at all.

Tomoshibi Amatsu · 10-26-2008, 11:23 PM

I just saw the episode finally, and there's one thing I kept thinking throughout it. Why did Serling even bother? He could have just found an isolated place to power down for a hundred years. You know like that episode of futurama where Bender got stuck back in the 1940s?? I mean it's not like Serling couldn't have done that. It would have been far easier than what he went through.

and am I the only one who really doesn't mind the turtle tots and somewhat even likes them?

Why does it matter where you watch it, either way it's online and it's free!

I hate going to the 4Kids website to be honest. It's full of so much annoying crap, and half the time the videos don't work so I have no choice but to look them up on youtube.

As long as the eps are on the 4kids site for free viewings...then I don't see the problem watching them on a different site for free too.

*Kendamu* · 10-27-2008, 04:25 AM

I'm not a fan of Serling, but if it means seeing Splinter again I'll sit through it.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-27-2008, 07:48 AM

I really enjoyed this episode. While I'm not a fan of Serling, I did enjoy the lesson he learned about the Turtles not being so bad after all. I also enjoyed seeing the Turtle Tots and Splinter again. It was nice seeing Splinter kick some butt. The toy guy was nuts, and I hope he doesn't reveal their identity. Overall, it was a great episode. I also don't mind the Turtles with buck teeth, because I had buck teeth for the longest time. At least the Turtles grew out of theirs quickly. I had mine until about sophomore year of high school after I got braces in sixth grade. Man, did that suck.

Next week: Klunk is back! Whoo Hoo! However, I do have a problem with that picture, because he doesn't have white in him like he used to. That's going to take some time to adjust to. Still, I can't wait to see him.

Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers... specifically referring to the alien kid's toy that was left on Earth....

*odupianist* · 10-27-2008, 08:05 AM

This episode wasn't too bad. Glad to see Splinter get in the action, although not as much as I would have liked. A few good laughs. Not my favorite, but it wasn't horrible.

Because it's the law.

Yeah I like them I prefer the non bucktoothed versions myself though. My Favorite episode with them is when they try to teach little Casey how to fight.

Well, more specifically, it's because the 4Kids website version includes some commercials. Advertisements are what fund television shows. When they put shows up on their site, the idea is that they'll still make some money for their sponsors because people will see the ads. When you watch on Youtube, there is zero chance of their sponsors making money because the viewers aren't seeing the ads. Therein, it's an incredibly round about way of stealing.

That's the logic, anyway.

*Anarky* · 10-27-2008, 10:17 AM

Four pages later, this appears! Be shocked, be amazed and most of all, read one of the best reviews of the TMNT-fanscape.

Yeah, because 404 errors have me on the edge of my seat.

Well more logically speaking, the 4Kids video play IS legally sanctioned by all companies. I mean, even if you watch it on TV or something you can easilly ignore the commercials (and chances are you may not buy most of those products anyway). The YT version is something someone copied from a DVR...

Though, i really wanna see more company legal video sites do sort of an advertisement ticker at the bottom of the screen, separate from the video itself.
