Old-school TMNT kicks the SHIT outta the new one!!! I mean, in the new one, the turtles never eat any new, fucked-up pizza topping combos (at least I haven't seen them do that during the few times I've watched it). Sure it's nice that there's a little more action, but in the old-school eps there was sleuthing, puzzle-solving, and HUMOUR!!! I mean, the whole "dinosaurs from space" thing the new one does was dumb, IMO. Sure the old-school eps had dumb shit too (remember 100-ft Irma?
), but at least there, IT WAS FUNNY!!!
daigong's right, too much seriousness isn't good for a show, especially if it's a cartoon. Cartoons are aimed to ENTERTAIN little kids, not JUST show fight after fight after fight.
I have to admit though, I
DID like the new-school ep they showed this past Saturday, where Donatello is transported to the future, and the other turtles are old and not what they used to be, but they still have the ability to bring it to the table and beat the Shredder!!! Lots of drama and action, which is good, once in a while. But not ALL THE TIME.
