Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Original Series (Vol. 1) | Year: 1987 Classification: Children's Video Teenaged Show still has good kicks This Dvd has the first 5 TMNT cartoons aired back in the late 1980's. Though not as dark as the original comic book, this is what most of the world percieves as the correct Ninja Turtles. The best show I'm debating between the original and the new but they are more then worthy to pick up. Most of us remember the cartoons when it was on CBS for a good 5-7 years. but These episodes were the original syndacated episodes with the original intro sequeance, different style of animation and some different voice actors. All in all though these episodes are the ones where we meet all the recurring charechters- The Turtles, Splinter, April, Shredder, Krang, Baxter Stockman, Bebop, Rocksteady, the Foot Soldier, Aprils boss Vern and a slightly less annoying Vernon. All in all it's a great set to get. However the 4 bonus episodes are from the second half of the last turtles storyarc when they fought against an alien named Dregg instead of Shedder. While not as good as the originals the Last season of the original show was more edgier and dark using the animation style of the Batman animated series. Even this is somewhat of a bonus (though it seems they might not do every season) I say this is a good buy Brilliant stuff At last its here. I no longer have to watch dodgy copies of of the first 5 eps which I got from a guy in the US.<BR>These episodes were never released in the the UK, when the show aired here we were introduced to the Teenage mutant HERO turtles as they were called (kids in the UK werent alowed to see anything with the word ninja on it!!) half way through the eye of zarnoth.<BR>Not to mention that all episodes had the nunchakas cut out!!<BR>But one day years and years ago I taped how it al began off sky and discovered the origins of the TMNT cartoon. This tape was like gold dust to me until my sisteer taped over it!!!<BR>I thought it was amazingly done and since these first 5 episode came out of another animation studio it was excellently drawn. (Japanese studio, After that I think Fred Wolf set up in Ireland)<BR>This is the best cartoon version and in my opnion along with the first movie the best versions of TMNT.<BR>Onto the DVD. Decent box and menu presentation, does its job.<BR>Picture and sound are excellent, although I wish the music was alittle louder. <BR>As for the bonus episodes. There a total waste of time. I would much rather have some episodes from the next season on dvd instead. Anyway, its for the originals that we all brought it for. Buy this now, especially if your a TMNT fan from the UK, as its more than likely that you haven't seen these ones. teenage mutant ninja turtles rule !!! the first 5 episodes are great but one thing bad is that they should've made the bonus episodes like one from season 8 called REVENGE OF THE FLY(last appearences of baxter the fly which he goes mad on revenge n turns every one in the city into mutant insects like himself). They also should put (turtles trek episode for bonus to cuz that's the last regular episode of long time enemy shredder where the technodrome gets destoryed)... MY favorit teenage mutant ninja turtles character which is one of the bad guys is BAXTER STOCKMAN the fly, unfortionally they don't show him as a fly on DVD. I already have a tons of ninja turtles VHS tapes, but I search though the whole tire internet an can't find REVENGE OF THE FLY, and TURTLES TREK episodes to buy or down load. turtles trek is one season 9 on tmnt series. But it was nice of them to put dregg on bonus episodes cuz I like him to, but I'm still dissappointed cuz there's alot of old skool ninja turtles episodes out there that I want to see, defenly the 2 I listed. The new ninja turtles on fox 25 is a good show but not near as good as the old skool ninja turtles that I grew up watching.
