You know, even for all of Fast Forward's diminished quality, they still actually tried to write a coherent story that felt like some actual thought was put into it. What Nickelodeon's doing now is putting the series into full Fred Wolf minimal effort autopilot, where episode after episode make it seem like they still want people's money but don't actually care enough about the show itself as a literary work of art.

That's the thing: In a good TMNT series, even a bad episode or a bad season still feel like someone tried something with substance. ...Okay, so maybe Sweat, Sweat, Sweet Renet was raw unabashed fur bikini fanservice. But still, the badness within any TMNT work should not feel as if it's intentional unless they're deliberately going for full-out camp appeal, and even then the camp appeal better be pretty damn good.
