EPISODE 339 - We take a look at the show that brought huge fame for the Turtle -- the original Saturday morning TV show.

Although primarily made as a way to promote the new toy line, the creators of this TV show also wanted it to be good. So there was a lot of thought put into this show. They took a lot of visual designs from the comic, but simplified the story considerable. They added new characters (Rocksteady and BeBop), half-new characters (Krang the talking brain) and gave April a more specific consistent personality.

We look at the first five episodes, which is the entire first season and which tell a single story. The story gets complicated, but it's fun and thoughtful and... pretty darn good.

Hey, maybe these Turtles are gonna be around for a while.

In Loose Screws, we talk about the new season of Stranger Things.

Next week we go over the first TMNT live action movie!
