TMNT (2003) Season 3, Part 4 review up at AIPT

My review for TMNT (2003) Season 3, Part 4 is up over at AIPT!

Season 3 really brings its A-game in the backend.  "Time Travails" and "Hun on the Run" are great (especially the latter, which has possibly the best fight scene in the series).  While the "Return of the Ultimate Ninja" arc gets off to a bumpy start with some dull Super Turtles and Planet Racers crossovers, it goes full throttle when it hits "Same as it Never Was".

Hope to finish up season 3 soon; possibly before the site's 10th Anniversary at the end of the month.

TMNT (2003) Season 3, Part 3 review at AIPT!

Head on over to AIPT for my latest review of the 4Kids TMNT cartoon!

This batch of episodes debuts Nobody to the 4Kids TMNT continuity, as well as Dr. Chaplin who is even more of a nobody than Nobody.  I'd say the highlight of this bundle, though, is the crazy Call of Cthulhu parody episode that doesn't pull any punches.  They went for it and they went all the way.  Gotta respect that.

TMNT (2003) Season 3, Part 2 review up at AIPT

After a delay, I'm getting back in the saddle with these 4Kids TMNT reviews!

Here's my review of TMNT (2003) Season 3, Part 2 over at AIPT!

This was a real good batch of episodes, too.  We get the full introduction of Bishop, the return of Leatherhead, and then some random Mirage comic adaptations of varying accuracy and quality.  Also, the first appearances of nobody's favorite villains: Touch and Go!

I'll try and get another one of these out for mid-February and get back on my monthly cartoon review schedule.

TMNT (2003) Season 2, part 2 review at AIPT

My review of TMNT (2003) Season 2, Part 2 is up over at AIPT!

"Secret Origins" is every bit as awesome as I remember it; a great way to finish off that epic ten-episode arc after the underwhelming "Turtles in Space" sequence.  "Modern Love: The Return of Nano" was okay and "The Ultimate Ninja" was way better than I remember it being.  All in all, not a bad batch of episodes.

There are also some IDW TMNT books from last week that I need to catch up on, so I'll get on those.

TMNT (2003) Season 1, Part 1 review at AIPT

Without delay, here's my review of TMNT (2003) Season 1, Part 1 at AIPT!

I examine the first 6 episodes of the 4Kids series and to my elation, much of it holds up to 13 years of scrutiny!  Well, except the roller blades, razor scooters and April's baffling tube top/cargo pants ensemble.  But ah, to be a teenager again...

Next Mutation, Part 5 review is up at AIPT! (and the Power Rangers crossover is there, too)

I cap off my review series of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation with the last 5 episodes plus the Power Rangers in Space crossover (over at AIPT).

While I think Next Mutation is actually an amusing show in small doses, that last stretch of episodes was pretty pitiful as you could tell they'd run almost completely out of money.  The Power Rangers in Space crossover was real fuckin neat-o, though, and that's coming from someone who isn't all that into Power Rangers.

Well, with that over with, I can move on to the 2003 TMNT cartoon from 4Kids.  Haven't seen an episode of that since 2009.  Hopefully it holds up to how I remember it, because I remember it being really freakin' good.

Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997) Part Three review!

It's that time again!  Check out my third round of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation episode reviews over at AIPT!

I'm trying to finish off this series quicker than usual for a few reasons:

1. It's really short, so I can knock it out fast.
2. I'm anxious to get to the 4Kids cartoon.
3. I'm actually enjoying the show and I want to watch more of it.

#3 may be difficult to believe, but it's the truth.  This show is BAD, but oh god it's the good kind of bad I can't get enough of.

So check out my review and expect some more very soon.  I've got another TV show write-up that I'm going to work on this week that's not TMNT related, but some of you might find interesting anyway.  I'll post the link when that's up.

It's a seeeeeeecret, but I left a (very obvious) clue in the Next Mutation review.

Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997), Part One review

I said I was gonna do it so here we go.

Check my review of the first 5 episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation over at AIPT!

Is the show bad?  Yeah, it's pretty bad.  Is it AS bad as its reputation would have you believe?  Ehhhhhh.  Close, but certainly not the Antichrist of Ninja Turtle television.

Movie Review: Turtles Forever (2009)

As an exclusive article for Adventures in Poor Taste, I've taken the time to review the 2009 made-for-TV animated film, "Turtles Forever".

You can read my review of "Turtles Forever" RIGHT HERE!

I submit a non-TMNT article to AiPT about once a week, so if you're curious about my thoughts on random topics such as IDW's current Ghostbusters comic, The Batman vs. Batman the Animated Series, how Tiny Toon Adventures stacks up after 20 years or even my bizarre attempts at poetry, as well as entertaining articles from other writers, then check the site out.

I'll be doing further reviews of TMNT cartoons and movies at Adventures in Poor Taste, too, so look out for those in the future.
