I can think of a possible way the show can be saved, though I don't expect it to happen.

Let's say the first two to three seasons are "Universe A", and everything since Dinosaur Seen in Sewers at the latest is a slightly parallel "Universe B"&mdash;some characters have slight differences, some details are different. Universe B's characters are the ones that met Honeycutt, went into space, etc. Eventually, they'll sacrifice themselves saving the Earth from destruction, allowing Universe A to live on, possibly even unaware Universe B ever existed in the first place. Universe A might later learn about Triceratons, Utroms, Honeycutt, etc., but they would learn about them anew. But then Mikey could be a less shallow character again, Raph could be the big sister again, etc. And Universe A's Tiger Claw could have a real chance to eventually turn against the Shredder in a way that actually makes a difference, instead of right before they both died.

I'm not optimistic enough to think any of that could actually happen though.
