Something else had occurred to me, after reading that article. And I may have mentioned it before, but now it's buried in history.

The creators claimed that Splinter's death is an opportunity for the main characters to learn how to live with death.

And I was thinking, this would be a good chance for the characters to grow up more. But how can they do that if the show keeps them perpetually 15 years old year after year? XD
