TMNT

Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello - classically the best...ninja turtles! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were introduced in a 3 issue mini series in 1988. After it was widely accepted, a regular series was launched. Soon many mutants and other characters were created.
The 4 main turtles had characteristics like a typical teenager. They were always willing to help in a mischevious, funny way. If there was an adventure to be experienced, they were your turtles for the job! The story lines were deep, although sometimes cheesy (like Caleb..he just hissed). Sometimes the theme seemed more like preaching than informing of the ecological idea based around the comic.
Unfortunately, in 1995 after 7 years of running, the series started slowing down. This just emphasizes how huge this series became, because in the late 1990s, the TMNT still seemed very popular. Do you remember the theme song? I don't. But really people, reflect for a moment. Think about it. Is it starting to drift back into your memory...
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)
