Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Next Mutation (1997-1998)
Introduction
I chose this amazing TV Show for Toxic Tuesday but it's them. Here are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in quite an old version of the Ninja Turtles. We have Michaelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, Venus De Milo and Splinter the rat. They fight for the justice of the world whilst eating pizza! They are all very unique I have to say so lets get this blog rolling.
First Impressions Before Seeing The TV Show?
I didn't have a first impression, I remember this TV Channel called "FOX KIDS" and after Power Rangers, Jackie Chain the Adventures, Big Bad Beetleborgs and VR Troopers this was on. Considering, Fox Kids was just awesome. It had Goosebumps as well! EEEK! Childhood was great. But, all serious this appealed to me because it was funny, it was silly, there's some actual martial arts involve and some interesting characters along the way when i remember back to the trailer.
After I Watched The TV Series?
This only was on our screens for a year, but it's actually quite funny, action packed and silly. As a kid you don't want something complicated but something creative and considering the new movie came out I think people would like to look at some of these old episodes! I love the funky opening to the episodes which is at the bottom of this blog . Plus, I think it's nice having different kinds of turtles in the mix, Raphael was the more "am the strongest turtle, I can do this on my own". Then, you have Leo whom was more into the martial arts, peace, and highly intelligent. Off course, Don! He was the gadgets, science turtle who likes statistics! Venus De Milo was the more magical turtle and was lost at birth but joined these turtles. She does know how to rock, but is a lot more mature then the other turtles. And, I did saw my favourite for last, Mike.....he loves pizza, he loves food and he's the more sillier turtle, and he likes the skateboard too. Not well! But he tries!. Plus, I love all the different villains we see and I think you need to have the quirky villains for such a ridiculous hero like a human size speaking and pizza eating Turtle.
What Makes This A Great Childhood Program?
Well considering Fox Kids had LOADS of programs at the time. They had Goosebumps, Pokemon, loads of different Power Rangers, Spiderman, X-Men, Inspector Gadget, Ace Venture, Digimon, Big Bad Beetleborgs, Jackie Chan the Adventures, Godzilla, Mystic Knights, Silver Surfer, Tiny Toons, Dennis the Menace, and the Addams Family. Now, thinking of all those TV Programs you can't say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation doesn't belong there. It's a quirky show for those kids that love weird stuff. And, if all these 90s shows coming back to you, you're welcome. But, I think it was a great program because it was flowing with other great programs similar material. There were heroes and villains in near enough all the shows I mentioned. That's Fox Kids really, that's how I remember it.
Should They Do This TV Show Today?
Personally, it wouldn't work and here's why....Considering, this is a 90s show and I don't want anything kids watch now because I find it boring. I like Netflix and if I want something really really easy to watch or I have my niece or nephew with me I put Rugrats on. I like the old cartoons, not going to lie the things on TV now just stinks! These 90s shows just seem more intelligent then the ones we have now if am honest. And, 90s childhood programs just rock more than what kids watch today. That's fact.
So, What's The Bottom Line?
You know what, if you do have a child introduce them to the 90s stuff it's really better if am honest. This is from a responsible point of view, I grew up with mostly creative 90s shows and I have expanded my mind in different ways. Like personally, am not judgemental because I grew up thinking these Ninja Turtles were real. I didn't know people were in them in costumes. Am not a racist am not saying 90s shows doesn't make you a racist but considering what I watched throughout childhood, I watched shows with equal situations for male, female, turtles, digimonsters, Yu-Gi-Oh cards....I know am a geek okay! But, it's logical I judge everyone equally because shows like these teaches us it's not how you look on the outside but the inside that matters. And, that's the bottom line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and all the shows the Fox Kids presented.
Tips If Watching The TV Series?
Yes, the image above happened and I laughed. I literally laughed, because it was something I never ever ever thought would EVER happen. This is the Ninja Turtles fighting alongside Power Ranges in Space! There's only ONE main reason I don't like this version because at the end of Power Rangers in Space, Zordon gets killed :( Evil Saban! But, some great good came from his death. But, anyway! When you order a pizza and have no idea what to watch.....watch this. I think it's perfect when you're eating pizza because these guys are pizza lovers too!
My Rankings
Personally, I think I give this a very easy 6/7 but not a 4. To me, a 4 doesn't mean watchable, I think it's a 6 or a 7 because it's silly and fun. There is martial arts in here, there's great villains because remember in 1998/1997 for TV Shows, lots of costumes and make up were coming in effect. I knew Saban produce this and his villain costumes are quite child viewable which is why I think I rate it higher, because of the watch factor of it. And, the fact I completely forgot that the turtles are in costumes!
