Things you would have liked to see.

[Jarrah White]

Here's an interesting question, what would you have liked the original cartoon to have offered? Things that never happened in the old show that you would have liked to see? I haven't seen much of the old show, but Casey wasn't in any of the episodes I saw, it was just April, April, April. I would have liked it had there been more Casey...

[sebastiano]

i'd like to have seen more of the detective stories like the donatello special against the mafia about the malteser hamster or a crossover

Pfft, that says it all about your expectations...and opinions...but I won't go into that, it's bad enough you take it upon yourself to review the old episodes and continusly try and blow them apart.

Stick to your day job and review the new cartoon and the Next Mutation, one thing I can't stand is when noobies try and review the original series

I'd like to have seen more of H.A.V.O.K, they were a pretty decent new threat, oh and more Don Turtelly.

[FAH Q]

no offense, using the terb N00b, lol... please.
it just . . . makes the internet such a laughable place.
people can't just go into sites and post without shooting other people down.
i mean come on, lol. i don't want some "Flame" war,
but then again, this is the type of stuff that got general discussion taken down,
so i'll leave it be.
i grew up on the old series and love it, but it's just a show,
i hold it very dear to me. and i realize i enjoy the show,
that I do... so no one else's oppinion should matter as long as i am able to enjoy it.

as for the show, i wou;d've liked more psycho casey, some cerebus,
more traveling to distant worlds, more evil shredder. and more
foot ninjas than you can shake a stick at . . . i wish dimension x was explored more.

[Ninja Turtl3 : RaphaeL]

i think the old series was sick dont do anything to change it, it was classic.

[Orochi Chimera]

I like pretty much everything about the original show. The art style,music,sound effects,character voices and storylines (sometimes cheesy but still good) come together to form a classic that won't and probably can't be duplicated.

The only thing I would like to have seen is expanded storylines on some characters that were only in a few episodes and somethings that aren't possible in the new show. It seems there is no chance of many old characters being in the new show.

One thing that I always wanted to see is an extended story arc of a Turtles in Timelike story or something similar involving different dimensions. This is still possible in the new show but I doubt it will happen.

I have some apologies to make, I've fallen out with my wife, and it was'nt good when I saw that Jarrah had a thread locked for once again choosing to spit on Peater Laird.

Why krang was exiled I would have liked to have seen and I heard that this guy name DRakus, from threads and ep reviews , built the T-Drome. they should have shown how krang got the technodrome just before or after his exile and how and when he met with saki. Explain why krang was in bubble walkers (like the showed in three muskaturtles).

I read the divide and conquer reviews eps, IF saw that ep I would say that they could have shown shredder and krang in that ep. I heard they went to dimension X to get krang's body and they had the chance to show shredder and krang one last time.

[Brinatello]

There's a few things I would have liked to have seen, such as if Irma ever getting a date or April changing clothes like a normal person. More of Casey Jones would have been nice, too. The TMNT needed more villains, more threatening, I should say. The episodes without Shredder featured too-easy-to-combat bad guys and the stories themselves were rather slow in parts. I can understand what the writers were trying to do, but it didn't work out too well. I guess it's tough writing for a kid's show when you've got the F.C.C. breathing down your neck.

[DrSpengler]

What I'd have changed and/or added?

More Casey Jones episodes, perhaps make him a regular.

No Zack the fifth turtle.

Toei Studios all the way. After the miniseries they switched to a Korean studio and the quality plummeted, animation-wise. Should've sticked with Toei in Japan.

Baxter return to normal and get a "happy" ending (always felt sorry for him).

The TMNT a little less hellbent on eating pizza 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

No bandana/voice errors.

Eh. That's about it. In retrospect the show was just fine. Just a few things I'd like to have seen done. And as for Jarred, I don't like him any more than you guys do but to be fair, there's nothign wrong with this thread. It's somewhat thought-provoking. If you're going to flame him at least do it after he's done something wrong.

[Utrom Shredder]

Well, after comparing the old show with the new one, I wish the old one had Utroms in it. In fact, the old show should also have made Shredder out to be an evil Utrom. Of course, I am a little biased here because I love the story line twist in the new series of making Shredder an evil Utrom, if you couldn't tell from my screen name, avatar, or signature.

I like the darker tone of this new series, and I think the old show should have been a little less corny and a little more darker.

Also, the character of Splinter in the old show should have actually been a real rat instead of being a human mutated into some sort of rat-man.

I thought it would've been funny if Irma went out with Casey Jones in an episode!

As for the random villians, they definitly reflected the cornball aspect of the series. Some of them very ammusing while others were just lame.

I know it was highly unfeasable, but I always thought it would be totally awesome if they found the future version of Usagi Yojimbo's homeworld and they wound up in St. Canard meeting Darkwing Duck!!!

I would have liked to see Utroms in the old show too, not sure about a Shredder Utrom though. Secret Origins will air next week, expect Mr. White's review

Why not, Krang an evil Utrom rather than just a living disembodied brain? Or maybe the Utrom's arch enemy.

[ZariusTwo]

About the Utrom scenario, there must have been a clear reason why niether Laird or Eastman wanted to use such a good concept on the original series, maybye because it was still relativly new in the comics, or simply because the producers wanted to use a peacful alien race as villians and they refused to allow that

[TheRATKING]

well krang was based off of the utroms so more may have been confused and thought that other utroms were other krang like and evil

I too agree with the Baxter turned to normal, but the villians never have happy endings. Baxter wanted to be human again I remember in episodes in season 3 and was mad at his new state in enter the fly. I don't know why they left a baxter a fly until the end. If he turned into a human in whatever last ep he was in, they should have had the people put baxter back the aslyum and lock in there for life, with more security since there was obviously no security since shredder broke him out in return of the shredder, or until they are sure he fully rehabilitates his ways.

They could have explained why Krang used a buble walker.

Why not show all the unused scripts. I heard there was a shredder in love script.
