I don't know, the merchandise drive seems to be about the same since season one. Also this season has probably been the MOST continuity laden out of all of them, the last four eps were back to back to back. And as for referencing the 87 show too much, it really doesn't. I've watched the original series, and the measurements of references for each addition to the metaseries feels PRETTY equal. And I'm sorry you and your friends feel it went down hill, but I do not see it having gone that way at all nor will I ever probably. Maybe because I've seen shows that have REALLY gone downhill. You ever watch "The Batman", or "The Mindy Project"? Both went into lame pockets in their third seasons and lost me ever si-okay actually I stayed for the Batman as it got REALLY good when they introduced Robin- BUT STILL-they wrote two characters out with NO explanation. At least when Splinter is written out he's either dead or his coma's toast, beats him being Chuck Cunninghammed.
