The lack of familliar characters in the last two seasons. It's just really hard to decide what was worse. The show was got so boring after the age of Dregg began.

I'm voting for Dregg. He just wasn't a good villian like Shredder and Krang.

Pretty much everything.
I wished that Mikey could've gotten his 'chucks back after he had them replaced with a grappling hook in season 4... I wished they have not had a red sky either. It was constantly night. That's a lame way to make a series dark. |

I would not say boring like Gobo said,but the 8 season 8 episodes( it was too darn short!!!!) were amazing even if only half had Shredder and Krang. However, after that Dregg was dull and Carter was unneccessary and annoying. Tony Jay deserved better than this horrible character! It was unneccessary to remove the Channel 6 cast and Shredder and gang for a change of pace as season 8 proved! It should have had more familar faces or had Berserko, Dark Water Inc. and Krakus appear more than just ONCE! All characters had potential to be reoccuring players! Not only the under utilzed character of that season not continuing the older reoccuring characters no longer apart of the show not Shredder's group or Channel Six but the likes of Mondo Gecko, Usagi who was never sent home, and the Punk Frogs. Big Louie might have consolidated the underworld under him or see Slash or Leatherhead again. I guess my rant is saying the characters that were focused on were forced in seasons 9 and 10 and there other characters that should have returned that did not that had potential, arguably more so than Dregg and Carter could ever hope to have.

It won't let me add options or I'd add Red Sky. I missed the cool sound effects like the space noise in Dimension-X.

The fact that the series ended.
I personally love the Red Sky, but for personally symbolic reasons. I'm a huge DC Comics fan, and whenever they have a world-ending or universe-ending event, it is usually preceded by two things: A feeling of creeping tension and impending doom throughout the stories, and the skies turning red. Most specifically, it was used in the Crisis On Infinite Earths storyline where not just worlds, but entire parallel universes were destroyed, preceded by a blood-red sky. Since the last two seasons of the OT were "the end" of that TMNT "universe", I always found the Red Sky as VERY fitting. But I might be the only one who made that mental connection. |

The lack of familiar villains, so another vote for Dregg.
The red sky was also a bit disturbing. I liked the idea of making the series darker and having some continuity, but they didn't nail it like they did with the 2003 series. |

I really disliked it the first time I saw it, but I've mellowed on it since then. I think the series really needed a shift, and the new visual style was pretty cool even with the inconsistent animation. I wouldn't even mind that they phased out the old villains eventually if they had been replaced by someone really cool or menacing. Although they tried to make Dregg that dangerous threat it didn't really work for me. The Red Sky seasons were pretty darn good at their best and still entertaining at their worst. I'm looking forward to the Season 10 release. I haven't seen all of those episodes.

April had smaller jugs, that was also kind of annoying. Wasn't thrilled with the new haircut either.

I don't know how the hell people find these seasons boring. They had a more consistently written plot and tone then past seasons and there was more fighting.
Dregg was a fine villain although I do think he and Shredder should have co-existed. I saw these seasons for the first time when I was only 11 and I thought the darker tone was the coolest thing ever. The OT ended on a high note. |

The fact that each season was only 8 episodes long. Together, all 3 seasons could have been one regular season.

We didn't even have one new episode per month on average, no wonder I was simply enjoying reruns on USA at that time. Dregg has grown on me since he finally gives a real threat that Shredder was missing since the early seasons as he became too comedic. I instead voted for the abandonment of the Technodrome since despite the dark tone, the Technodrome never really had a real fight, even in Turtle Trek. It is sort of "proto-2k3" in tone. I enjoy the updated theme song, even more so than the new Nick theme. It shows that this wasn't the Simpsons where characters don't age, as the Turtles/April clearly look a bit older. The fighting is also more serious and the Turtles use their weapons more than earlier in the series.

Dregg was great in Season 10 but I imagine the whole posing-as-a-hero charade got annoying fast. That brought Season 9 down a bit for me. I hated how the Turtles had fought to be recognized as heroes only to have it brought down with the Channel 6 building, Dregg and their new mutations. Where were the supporting characters too, like Dirk Savage? Krakus was supposed to be in Season 9 but that got changed to Landor and Merrik.

Make an "Other" option. What I disliked most was the design changes to the turtles, like their more angular heads, and that we could see green in the eye slits of their bandanas.

Though it was only a season 9 (and the start of 10) issue...the Super Mutations.

I liked season 8, but everything about seasons 9 and 10 (Dregg, Carter, hyper mutations) was dumb as sh*t!
