Things missed most from the old show? - Page 4

~~Leo656~~ · 08-28-2003, 11:03 AM

I just wanna say Karpo's English rocks and that he probably speaks it better than I do.

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2003, 11:06 AM

Thanks! Nice to hear that from a native speaker. Well my choice of words still isn't always the best possible..

~~Leo656~~ · 08-28-2003, 11:08 AM

If you lived in New Jersey you still wouldn't be a native speaker... you'd be using made-up words like "Fagettabowdit" ("Forget about it") and stuff. Really weird.

Everyone says New Jersey people have accents but I, for one, have no idea what they're talking about. ((Shrug))

You speak better english then lots of people on this board.

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2003, 11:12 AM

Well I guess I do ok writing english, but speaking it fluently is much harder.

I guess this thread should be getting back to the topic.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-28-2003, 11:13 AM

Nah we don't wanna be doing that. If we ever behaved it'd kinda mess everything up now, y'know?

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2003, 11:17 AM

Well thats what Krang said, I don't want to piss him off anymore than I already did...

*cqb101* · 08-28-2003, 11:19 AM

But, staying on topic isn't fun!

*jeff the cheff* · 08-28-2003, 12:01 PM

speaking of on topic... I miss krangs voice. Its so wierd that whenever you here it you just want to laugh.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-28-2003, 12:03 PM

He sounded like Shredder's whiny grandma

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2003, 12:34 PM

I think Krang's was probably the best voive in the series. Respect for Pat Fraley.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 08-28-2003, 03:13 PM

Odd, I'm from NJ myself and I don't have that accent...only live 30 mins from NYC too!

Yea, Karpo, if I want to hear a deeper storyline, I'd watch the new one, and then if I want the humor and stuff, I'd see the old one, so I get whatever I want when the two are combined. And yes, as far as ratings and revenue go, the company had much better success when the old cartoon wasn't syndicated.

*jeff the cheff* · 08-28-2003, 05:57 PM

that would be cool if the new show was syndicated......does anyone think it could get popular enough?

By techically better I mean Better animation and Writing. Writing is better due the format of the show, one on going plot instead of a single show format like old TMNT or He-man. And no one can argue about the animation. The fact I like new show better is my biased opinion. Many do prefer the old show, and I have not said there is anything wrong with it.

Just because a show has a continuous storyline doesn't necessarily mean that it has better writing. And the animation may be more advanced, but that doesn't say anything about the character design, backgrounds, etc. Neither of those things make the new cartoon "better" than the old one since that's a matter of preference.

Quote:

Like I said, TMNT phenomenom can be very well comapred to Pokemon. Both had a very succesfull children's cartoon and TONS of diffrent merchadice. Didn't you get that from my post? Do you hate Pokemon so much that you think it can't be compared and start saying thing like "you are jealous"? Even if you do hate it, It can still be compared. Don't take it out on me.

It wasn't that you compared it to Pokemon that bothered me, it was the derogatory tone you used in your post (such as saying that they were both a "children's kraze for a few years"). If you had compared them the way you did in this post, I would have no problem with the comparison.

Quote:

And execuse me if my english isn't perfect, I'm not a native speaker. After 1991 the ratings did fall, I probably got it from one of the interviews that are around the web. If you can give more accurate rating numbers, please do.

I wasn't trying to criticize your English, since it's very clear and easy to understand. I was just pointing out that the ratings didn't drop as severely as you said they did. And I looked through the interviews at NTN and even did some searches, but I couldn't find anything about a ratings drop in 1990 or 1991. I still say that the ratings didn't drop noticeably until after the 1992 season since that's what I remember.

Quote:

Is this going to a point where you can't mention old and New TMNT in the same sentance? I have not said there is anything wrong to prefer the old TMNT, I did compare it to pokemon tough, and it seems that is what you are most offened about.

No, I don't mind if you compare them in another thread, but that's not what this thread is supposed to be about. Now let's try to get back on topic.

**Karpo_007** · 08-29-2003, 04:17 AM

Right, Il try to stay in line once again.

Misfit · 08-31-2003, 03:23 PM

I miss:

- The theme song. Totally kicked ass. I still can't get to grips with the new one.

- Krang, Rocksteady and BeBop.

- The cute goofiness. Though sometimes it did cross the line and get *too* stupid. Especially during the latter seasons. But mostly I liked it.

- April being a news reporter. For me it suits her better than a lab girl. I also miss her channel 6 team, Vernon, Irma, etc. Those guys were great.

I do adore the new toon though, don't get me wrong there.

Same with me, only for Texas

[Edit: Post removed. As I've said before, this thread is about the old cartoon, so stop it with the comparisons before you get a warning. --Krang]

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2003, 09:43 PM

eh... Rez. This thread is to talk about what people liked from the old show. If that's what she liked, that's her opinion. you have no right to come in and tear her down for it.

*Voltron* · 08-31-2003, 09:58 PM

This is why I don't post here much. Everyone takes it so seriously, it's impossible not to get yelled at or in a fight.

Peace people! Make Love not War!
