Hopefully this hasnt been discussed before but i wanted to share my opinion on the 25 great years.

In fifth grade my girlfriend gave me a set of turtles trading cards for my birthday. I said what the hell is this? Everyone told me when they were on so i took a gander. Since then i was sold, as were all of you

. 20 someide years, a raph tattoo, and thousands of dollars worth of memorabillia later i still got love for em.
My son who is on his way to being 3 recently found a dvd set i had (still in the wrappers , the new cartoon series) Now needless to say i've gotten a bit away from turtles during the whole "fast forward" crap, but he's been watching them and becoming quite the little turtle freak him self. Several words he still cant say but he can say, mikey, erma (<- wtf is what i thought too, trust me), donny, leo, and dooodooos (turtles, that is)

They tend to make him a little ram rowdy, and aggressive but he enjoys them and i love spreading the turtles to a new generation.
Tonight i went to put him to bed and he begged for doodooos, so i threw in the city at war dvd, sat down with him, and we watched four episodes in a row together. All i could say to myself was "wow". I never thought this would happen. never thought i'd be sitting with my son, watching the same type of cartoon i grew up on. I have a deep love for the turtles as they have always been a huge part of my life. Just found it a great feeling to pass them on to the next generation. Maybeone day my son will be on here talking about him and his son.
