The 2K3 series and toy lines were both successful, and spawned a ton of other merchandise. Before that series, it wasn't ever a given that TMNT would have another run or become a mainstay. Think about how many other franchises from the 80s and 90s came and went, never to be seen again. It was a bona fide renaissance.

Not as successful as the classic cartoon and original toyline were in 1990.

2003 series the best series by far imo

You don't get SEVEN SEASONS of a tv show and a theatrical feature without being successful.

The 2003 series (mostly) still holds up to this day.

As iconic as the origins Fred Wolf series was, most of us look at it with rose colored glasses and with the exception of the early episodes. It has not aged well at all.

The first 3 episodes of the Fred Wolf series are so good it's like a drug. But then you subject yourself to it hoping for that same high you got the first time around but it's not there... so you become addicted to it and continue subjecting yourself to it until you burn out and die.
