Classic Episode Discussion: New York's Shiniest - Page 2

I don't think its a TERRIBLE episode persay, but it had a few bad moments that are noticeable, as already mentioned dropping the van into the water and then having it back later... The other thing that bugged me was the fact that Shredder made a whole army of Rex but we only see like three destroyed after Rex's aerobic workout and then the battle is over. Ummmm....okay

Ah well, its an okay episode, I don't mind it but like so many eps its just cheesy, but its Turtles.

I agree with all those things cuz I noticed all that too. Also besides having the van back later (unless they have more than one or something) notice how it was I think Raph driving the van before they plunged into the water? Then after commercial break it was Leo driving the van when they plunged into the water? Leo was not the driver originally (unless they switch places really fast but I doubt it).

It;s one of the few episodes I have on tape and I'm not too impressed with it. I remember it from when I was a kid, and didn't like it much then either.

I think it was Irma. Never liked her or any of the other Channel 6 idiots.

Hmm...and I liked this episdoe. Then again, I like just about all of the original episodes...

I rewatched this one like a month ago. I dont think it was very good. The robo cop has been overused.

I thought of RoboCop too when I first saw that episode. This was deffinately not the best episode, no violence and what's with the marry-go-round?

*ZariusTwo* · 04-14-2004, 05:43 PM

Yeah well..it ain't THAT violent because of the policy at that time

~~Jarrah White~~ · 04-19-2004, 01:14 AM

Still, what's with the marry-go-round?

LOL! I saw this topic title and I thought, hmmm,... looks like this episode is well liked... but I never really liked it. One of the worst from season 2 along with the Pizza Killers one.

Agreed...seems like one of those "budget saver" episodes, but that doesn't make it any less fun

Two Turtle vans? I was watching this one the other night and was like "WTF" but I can't really take the old series seriously, anyway. So, whatever.

Overall, it was a pretty decent episode. Definately not "Enter the Fly" quality but it was a fun episode to watch.

Whatever happened to these "Classic Episode Discussion" threads? There were some for mostly season 1 and 2 episodes in 2004. Did they stop for any reason? I love them but don't want to bump up all the old ones.

I believe the van thing was probably a misstake, and that April and Splinter should have used the Channel 6 news van instead.

*Wesley* · 04-22-2020, 02:34 PM

Ok episode in a “so bad, it’s good” sort of way.

~~Sumac~~ · 04-22-2020, 04:04 PM

Rip-off of RoboCop with some continuity errors and animation goofs. But it's not bad.

*pferreira* · 05-08-2020, 11:06 AM

I remember it being okay but none of the weaker episodes of the season.
