Revenge of the Triceratons, aka TMNT vs Gremlins!

Now here was a cross over I never thought I would see in a million years. Granted the gremlin creatures in this episode had to be given some cosmetic changes, most notably their large, pointy ears were replaced with boney horns. It was pretty cool to see them battle the cast of TMNT though and Casey even trapped one in the food simulator and baked it into a pizza in a direct nod to the scene from the first Gremlins where Billy's mom nuked one in the microwave, and it was easily one of the sickest scenes in the series so far too. This made me pretty happy, how about you guys?

Reminded me of "Case of the Killer Pizzas" from the old cartoon. I suppose that one was a more subtle Gremlins homage b/c I didn't get it until now.

That is an interesting crossover. Wasn't there a Ninja Turtles/Power Rangers crossover from The Next Mutation or if there wasn't, then was there suppose to?

I believe there was, there was also a comic crossover.
