i am a rarity i liked the 1987 series best but thought the 2012 series was the second best better than the 03 version  and way better than this new one it's pace is to fast and the new villains are lame 

some have said that the angles they use for the action look nice, but that's the only positive i can give it myself. i know it's slowly gained its fans, but i just can't get into it. i mean yeah, the 1987 cartoon to begin with had its changes from the comics, but at least the turtles had their own differences and the jokes had the right level of being campy to enjoy.

I'm with you c_b_f. I feel the exact same way.

although i don't have the photo to prove it, i went to my local target store today and they're practically giving away the rise action figures for free now. looks like this show's popularity is starting to dwindle and might end sooner than the 2012 cartoon.

 

Only Ninja Turtles show I like anyway is the original. Sure, the humour is a bit corny and dated, but that's what gives it its charm. That and the fact that it was obviously tailored towards b-movie fans (there are so many references to Science Fiction's most golden era of Cinematic Trash - The Transitional Years (1946-77) when television hit the market, over the next few years after, the office lost more and more cash thanks to the rise and threat of television and budgets for films just got lower making for some of the best b-films and cult classics of the era until 1977 when Star Wars pulled the box office out of the financial slum it had been in for almost 30 years. Like a few episode titles are spoofs of b-movies of the time like Invasion of the Body Snatchers Original and Plan 9 From Outer Space only Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers and Plan 6 From Outer Space instead). That said, the humour for how cornball it is still holds up well when you look at the show from the perspective of someone with an odd and deranged mind. Not to mention Uncle Phil voices The Shredder

Oh, fun fact: Anybody here read Heavy Metal Magazines? It's a magazine from back in the late 1970's that's still running 42 years later. It shows all sorts of Adult Fantasy and Science Fiction comics from Europe and is probably much more known as an animated film now than it is as a magazine (and the magazine had a massive cult following before Hollywood made it a film). Anyway, from 1992 to 2014, Kevin Eastman was the publisher of Heavy Metal Magazines. Neat eh?
