But you see, the problem with that episode was that the 1987 turtles were treated with such esteem and reverence by the showrunners. I suspect one of the reasons the Technodrome Forums banned criticism of the 1987 series, is because there's a large segment of Mirage and TMNT comics fans in general who would much rather nuke the 1987 series from orbit and be done with it once and for all, or travel back in time with the Time Scepter and prevent MWS from ever producing the TV series in the first place. It seems to me that Turtles Forever was relatively more restrained in that they did acknowledge that series' existence, but chose to make fun of it.
