How did you find out about the TMNT

Naruto · 03-30-2004, 04:46 PM

HOw you find out abou the TMNT? THere is so many diffrent ways to hear about them. I for one just turned on the Tv and saw them and i was like holy crap, this cartoon rules! Then came my obssession with the show by buying TMNT tapes, Movies, towels, and action figures......I was at the age were i didnt even know comics existed....hehehe i would of made my parents go bank rupt

Ahh the origanel TMNT they are cool, i hope they put them on the air agian some day

Orochi Chimera · 03-30-2004, 04:50 PM

Same way. One day they were just on TV and I started watching them. And just kept watching them for a few more years.

*Taloniss* · 03-30-2004, 05:30 PM

Original Toon for me.

*Anarchistguy* · 03-30-2004, 09:07 PM

Old toon for me (in 1989). And the first episode I happened to run into was "Turtle Tracks", just in the part when Michaelangelo was yelling "ROBOTS?! LET'S ROCK!!" I tell you, I FREAKED THE HELL OUT!!! (in a good way) Thus beginning my pasion for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. then in 1999, I stumbled upon the official TMNT website for the first time, which also led to the discovery of the MIRAGE UNIVERSE. My passion was even greater once I found out there existed a more adult version of the turtles. Until 2003 I kept dreaming about a Mirage-adadpted TMNT animated series animated like Jackie Chan Adventures ( This is no bulls***). What an amazing coincidence.

Kora · 03-30-2004, 09:53 PM

I dun remember, they just been around ever since I can remember. Though, when I was little, we didn't have Cable, and we only had 3 channels... so its possible that since our TV-ness was limited, I didn't have anything else to watch XD... it was part of my saterday morning cartoons.

An other possibility, is well, My mum use to go bowling a lot, and while she bowled, we went to this little daycare thigny, and the other kids that were there played with Ninja Turtles action figures ((I remember, that's how I lost one of mine

))

but, yeah...

*Stone Ill* · 03-30-2004, 09:55 PM

I saw the old cartoon on TV..

*Raven* · 03-30-2004, 09:59 PM

it all started with the old toon.

Savanti Romero · 03-30-2004, 10:07 PM

Starts with old toon then toys. Mtns of em. Still got most of them too. Then the movies and video games. Then finally the best part of TMNT the ..................comics.

Yes for all u poor saps missing the comics u are not fully initiated as a true TMNT fan. Sorry but thats the way the cracker crumbles.

*MrPliggins* · 03-30-2004, 10:16 PM

First, I saw the toys in the store back in '87 or 88. Then my cousin brought over some of the toys and we played with them. That saturday, I got up early to watch the cartoon splinter no more.

i dot read comics, and that means of any kind so i never read the mirage turtles....though i still consider myself a fan. just a fan who doesnt like comics too much. i do respect the comics though.

*Spitfire* · 03-30-2004, 10:36 PM

When I was really small my Dad set me down and just turned on the TV and Turtles was on it, he told me this btw, was the first show I watched and I still watch it 15 years later.

Krangfan · 03-31-2004, 01:07 PM

I think it was when I was young, my cousins got me into the old show. I also loved the movies and had some of the Archie comics. Of course, up until like, last year I had no idea about the original comics at all!

raphael90 · 03-31-2004, 10:47 PM

I knew about TMNT I think since the second grade, kids would play games as TMNT characters on the playground at recess...they'd name me a character but I didn't really know who I was playing. Then later on in the second grade around December I started collecting the action figures and watched the cartoon. Hence I became a fan...an almost rabid one. Then I took a hiatus for a while, got rid of my stuff but now I'm back as a more casual fan this time. I'll always like the TMNT...they're my favorite heroes ever!

**Jo Dawn** · 03-31-2004, 11:49 PM

My younger brother (who's also on these forums) was obsessed with the old TMNT cartoon, and he dragged me into it.

Now... here I am.

Probably more obsessed than he... Hehe.

Meira-Bates · 04-01-2004, 06:34 AM

When I was 5 (thought I was 6 at the time but mom said other wise when I brought it up) we lived in this little appartment in Okinawa that was on base and all. I was an only kid, so often left to entertain myself, thus if mom ever found something that she thought might keep me amused she'd let me know about it. I've always seemed to like animal related stuff alot, so when she saw the old TMNT cartoon on she called me in to check it out. It was Okinawa's first showing of the ep where Baxter had Splinter captured with some machine that he'd bust through the wall of the building that they and the turtles were in..

trax90210 · 04-01-2004, 07:01 AM

I bought the figures first then started to watch the show (it RoCks)

By the way, people who said they want to see the old skool TMNT again, in the UK it is on at 7 in the morning on BB2 wed and fri

MikesPizzaShack · 04-01-2004, 12:05 PM

well i dont really know. i just remember watching it with my dad when it first came on tv back in the 80's. i do rememer watching the first airing of TMNT. and my dad worked at Toys 'R' us at the time so i had ALOT of TMNT figures. he would buy me new ones as soon as they came out. my dad even likes don lmao. so when TMNT 2 the arcade game came out and on the console he would be don as i would be mike lol. tobad my dads a jerk now.

Meeko · 04-01-2004, 12:46 PM

well i saw the old show And lovd it Then it was cancelled I kinda got out of it Then i finally got a computer Ad found ninja turtles.com And i went on that everyday Then i searched for TMNT on google and found Mikeys TMNT.com wich eventuall got me to here And now since the forums are active im more involved then ever

ImUntouchable · 04-01-2004, 01:16 PM

i found out by the original cartoon

~~Jarrah White~~ · 04-01-2004, 01:30 PM

Looks like I'll have to repeat myself. As a young boy I lived in a block of flats. The kids above were crazy about it. I remember one time the kids, and myself, went running around the hallways trying to kill each other over a TMNT frizbee

I didn't watch it much, I was more interested in shows like Inspector Gadget, but I was often invited up to my friends place. I'd find them glued to the telly watching TMNT. Either that or James Bond Jr. I saw three episodes, Leonardo is Missing, Adventures of Rhino Man and Adventures in Turtle Sitting. I think I might have seen more episodes but I can't remember. Now, I'm pretty sure I Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation at some stage, it came on shortly after Godzilla: The Series ended. Still I payed no attention, I wish I had now

. Then on one day last year I was watching Cheez TV on channel 10, Things Change started. At first I thought, I god no, not that show. But then I began to realise hang on, doesn't the animation look different? After that I was hooked on TMNT, though I was too sky to admit it to my family. I would watch it in my room with the volume really quite. Later I admitted to them that I watch the show.
