what season do you think was the worst? and when was the starting point


what season do you think was the worst? and when was the starting point of the interest waning in the turtles? for me I Started to loose interest when we got to Spring 1992. I liked the show the MOST in the 1989-1990 season and in that season had the most episode, the movie, more toys, Burger King Toys etc, why do you think?

In my opinion interest started to wane with Season 6. David Wise made great effort with Season 7 to bring back as many characters from previous seasons as possible in order to improve ratings but it didn't really work. The third movie which came out the same time didn't do that great either which forced a change of direction in the series. You can blame Batman The Animated Series for that.

I Felt Season 6 WAS A BLAHHHH and UNWATCHABLE, adn the movie came out then. So I guess 1992-1993 season was when the TurtleS Dropped out of Favor. Fall 1993 Turtle went to the CARTOON EXPRESS

WHato SEason 5.

Yes BAtman the animated series was a master peice

SEason 7 was like the first season of a mixture between dark / comedy

reply

Are you talking about the third movie because that came out during Season 7.

reply

no it came out during season 6! I mean season 6 I felt was unwatchable and dull and so was the movie, that was during 1992-1993 season,w hats that show of ninja turtles then?

reply

Check your facts again. Season 7 was shown during 1993 while the third movie was coming out!

reply

but season 7 started that following fall. the third movie came out around my birthday I remember (my b-day is in March). and the thrid was one watchable

whats your vote on the worst season?

what was your view on season 3?

for season 4 continty got mixed up too much I Felt. also season 5 was unique as it had more mutant stories. of season 4 having solo turtle eps w mad scientist and or crime bosses, it was refreshing rather than Shrewdder and Co finding some power source for the stranded Technodrome.

I started getting bored around 1993

Season 7 was shown almost after the third movie came out which was in June/July:

In Australia I only remember it every coming here in 1990 and they showed repeat after repeat catching up from 1987, 1991 was when it was obsession for me, but when the Simpsons came to Australia also in 1991 is when the turtles ratings took a dive and myself started to lose interest and go to the simpsons.

I remember they tried to fit about first season 6 episodes in 2 hours one night here in Australia and cut out lots of scenes, I had to recorded on VHS, it was never shown again here after that

You guys had it bad. At least you had all seasons shown on TV. On the BBC in the UK they only ended up showing Season 2 and 3.

Season 4 and I am including the European Vacation sideseason which takes place between the first and second episode of Season 4. Just not as many really good and really memorable episodes of the show. I think the show improved quite a bit once Season 7 hit and I think the Red Sky Seasons are great and are really underappreciated.

The Red Skies Seasons were IMO the worst, I thought Season 5 was the last truly great season of the show

lol

I think that starting point was after season 3. I'm from Europe so maybe it was different here, but I remember that when the second movie was released, the hype was already dying down. When the Power Rangers showed up, pretty much every kid had already forgotten about the Turtles.
