What was your reaction when you first seen this show?

So what were your thoughts on this show when it first aired? I remember when I first watched it and seen Hun I was thinking to myself "Who's this guy? Where's Bebop and Rocksteady?". I mind when I seen Shredder I was thinking "Why is Shredder so serious, why is he not funny like the 1987 Shredder?"

I was 14 (nearly turning 15 I think) when this show first came on TV. Then a few years later the show really grew on me when I started to prefer shows with a more serious tone. I remember my mother getting me a TMNT 2003 easter egg and it had the Attack of the Mousers Volume 1 DVD in the box along with the egg watched it at my grandmother's house when I got it (good happy times

). When I heard that the show was closer to the Mirage comic books in tone it made me want to read them out of curiosity.

I was genuinely excited. Even though I was in my early 20s, I felt like a kid again to be able to watch Ninja Turtles on a Saturday morning. When I learned the show was going to be closer to the source material, I was even more intrigued, having consumed basically everything the franchise had to offer since the 80s.

This show re-awakened my love for TMNT and brought me to this forum.

'Nuff said.

I was closely following every bit of new info prior to the show's release so I had an idea of what to expect. Even so, my expectations were still surpassed when it first aired on February 8 2003.

To be honest I did not know that this show existed until way later. At the time I was really busy and always skateboarding. I got exposed to it from the video games based off of it. It wasn't until the complete dvd collection came out last year that I finally watched it all. I thought it was pretty good. I do think it is weird that they don't have pupils in their eyes though. It worked for the action figures, but I prefer my cartoons to have pupils.

I really wish they put Slashuur from the Battle Nexus game into the series. Really liked that character.
