20 years later, and still the best animated adaption we've ever gotten.

Happy 20th Anniversary TMNT 2003! Thank you Peter Laird, Lloyd Goldfine and all the cast and crew at 4Kids Entertainment and Mirage Studios. You all truly made something special.

As a throwback, here is the original thread discussing the first episode "Things Change": http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=2140

Fun fact. Lloyd Goldfine had an account under the name "Mortu": http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/member.php?u=529

Here is a behind the scenes look at the show:

I had barely turned 17 when this show started. Goddamn, where does the time go. As a teenager this was the Turtle show I always wanted, so it satisfied me greatly.

In retrospect it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did at 7 seasons and 156 episodes. The series aired on 4kids Foxbox which never got high ratings and a lot of people didn't even know the show existed when it was new and airing for the first time. Keep in mind also online streaming wasn't a thing in the early 2000's so back then if you also didn't watch it on live TV you would never see the show. It did air on Cartoon Network years later but it was only the first few seasons if I remember right.

I didn't pay much attention to it back when it was airing as I was in that age (I was around 18 ) when you feel too old to still care about cartoons, but I remember reading about it in the news on the old Mirage's website. I guess I was just discovering the original comics for the first time back then and that had priority over the new tv show but I was happy knowing it was more accurate to the comics.
