You offend me, sir. You've basically just said "anything I don't like is garbage; therefore, people who like something I don't must enjoy garbage."

Have the human decency to respect other people's opinions without denigrating their tastes. There's room enough in this world for fans of the old stuff as well as fans of the new stuff.

You say the original cartoon is garbage, and yet it was what propelled the Turtles to stardom in the first place. Millions of kids worldwide enjoyed the series. If it weren't for the 1987 cartoon, there would never have been a 2003 series or a 2014 series in the first place. Every aspect of TMNT that you now enjoy is resting on the laurels of what's come before.

Also, isn't it funny how, despite the old show being total garbage, the current cartoon show and toy line keep borrowing from it? Over and over again? Mutagen Man, Slash, Bebop, Rocksteady, Rahzar, Mondo Gecko, Napoleon Bonafrog... all characters introduced in the "garbage" cartoon.

Just sayin'.
