Why are the seasons 3 and 4 of the FW series so huge?

They're like 40+ episodes each. Nearly half of the show's episodes are in these seasons.

I know that Turtlemania peaked in 1989-1990, but still, those 2 massive seasons are what make people less likely to marathon the FW series. Especially since a lot of the worst episodes are in the 4th season. Hell, the European Vacation episodes are technically part of it, but for some reason they didn't air until 1993, thus being erroneously considered part of season 7 by many. So basically, season 4 is 50+ episodes long. That's pretty crazy for a cartoon. Especially an episodic and formulaic cartoon series like 1987 TMNT.
