Ah.

1. While I understand that the 1987 toon was ridiculous sometimes, I enjoyed season 1, some episodes of seasons 2 & 3, as well as seasons 8-10. Plus I actually liked that for once they had a Raphael whose main character trait wasn't being angry most of the time.

2. While I did like the 2003 animation style, I didn't like that the humor was mostly delegated to Mikey, and most attempts were either met with a slap to the head, or a collective "SHUT UP, MIKEY!!" If anything, Mike seemed a lot more like the load in this series, being the character who was made obnoxious on purpose so viewers would find it amusing when he got smacked or told to shut up.

3. The 2012 show was a mixed bag for me---I DID like how most characters were portrayed early-on: Splinter, Leo, and Raph were alright, and Mike did seem alright; but as the show went on, the characters seemed to get worse. Especially Mikey, who only seemed to get more obnoxious, with the network even comparing him to PATRICK STAR!! At this point, I actually think he deserved to be smacked by Raph. Although I enjoyed the crossover special as a finale MUCH more than the Mutant Apocalypse, I hated how they didn't tie up most of the show's loose ends.

4. Rise seems kinda cool. Other than Splinter--or at least, Danny DeVito in rat form.
