So, they're deviating more from the comic on this one? If they're going with more of the idea from the '80s cartoon, then I doubt I want any part of this. The 2000s series and the original film will still probably always be the closest things we get to a good adaptation, unless the new film proves otherwise.

I'd rather hear news about a live action movie.

Did anyone else catch "The Krang"? I wasn't sure what "The Krang" was myself so I had to ask "The friends" on "The Facebook" and use "The Email"...

I'm surprised he was able to remember all the turtles names.

Gimme a break...

Not sounding too promising. I'll give it a chance but..just wish they would make a new movie.

I'll watch anything with the TMNT.

I'm hoping it'll be good. Eastman seemed pretty enthusiastic about it.

This guy is terrible. He couldn't sell food to a hungry 1000 pound man. He couldn't sell beer on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. We have a winner for the worst. salesman. ever.

I'm still annoyed that they canceled the legendary 2003 series. This upcoming one does NOT look like a good successor.

2003 series lost its way when they made it look lighthearted. I stopped watching when they went to the future.

The Fast Forward season was awful, but the followup, Back to the Sewer, was good.

The 80's series was the best.

The 80s was the best by far god I missed the good old cartoon days! lol

@ teabag- The '03 series was designed as an experiement to see if it was possible to have absolutely no one watch a channel at the same time repeatedly.

Jack is right. The 80's series owned...for you fans of the word epic try on a few from our generation. It was tubular, radical, gnarly, and totally awesome!

And is grif typing while sitting on the toilet again. He sure does have poop on his mind. Maybe it got on his hands and he's mad that there was tissue breakage.

The '80s cartoon was good when I was a kid, but then I grew up and started reading the original comics. The story from the cartoon totally botched the origin and the personalities of the characters. By biggest beef? SPLINTER IS NOT HAMATO YOSHI!!!

Uhhh...where did the Expendables 2 story go? So we weren't supposed to see those images? Good, because they did nothing for the movie. Dolph looked like someone turned their back on him again and he got into his wife's massacare.

With a budget so tight one prop machete was shared by all!

the 2002-2010 series were great. perfect mix of nto too kiddie action and the ORIGINAL comic material not the kiddiefied 80s stuff. Anyone thinking I'm a hater for no longer liking the 80s turtles need only watch "Turtles Forever" I rest my case.

Anyone who thinks the 80's show was better than the 2k3 show either NEVER WATCHED THE 2K3 SHOW, or is simply looking at the past through rose tinted glasses.
plasticman
plasticman - 2/3/2012, 8:24 AM
I'll be the first to admit that the 80's version is not an adult take on TMNT, but for a kid it was perfect. That being said, if they take the source material, add the magic of the 80's version, and follow the path set by Thundercats then you have a hit on your hands.

While we're at it, can we get a fresh take on C.O.P.S, Bravestarr, M.A.S.K, and Silverhawks as well?

MarkCassidy - 2/3/2012, 9:00 AM
The 80s show was great when I was a kid but the 03 show definitely took more inspiration from the comics that preceded both and was just an all round better cartoon. I'm sure my 11 year old self would disagree of course!

I may watch the first few, if they're good, I'll keep up with it, but more importantly, when the Shell are these coming out!!!

If there's no Bebop & Rocksteady I'm not interested.

im pretty disappointed in whos playing leonardo(who is my favorite turtle) and who is played by raph. they should have gotten unknown names, or brought the original cast back from the 80s cartoon just have them change their voices a little that would have been epic. cam clarke who voices leonardo in the 80s version is like one of the best voice actors we have. i should have know though, since this will be a nickelodeon its not going to be good and kiddy, nothing anymore on nick is good. they even had to crap up DBZ and change certain voices for it to be on there.

FAIL FAIL FAIL! They look worse than ever. My hopes that we might get a turtle toon that follows the original comic is 100% gone.
