Seaon 6 = 1980s crossover.


I read online that the series was only scheduled to go for 5 seasons. After watching the Trans-Dimensional Turtles episode I thought ending it after 5 would be an even bigger mistake then I originally thought. I would like to see a 12-14 episode story arc with the Turtles stuck in the 80s.

I could just imagine the Turtles acting with their 80s selves and meeting a few of the 80s bad guys. I would love to see them interact with their Leatherhead, Bebop, Rocksteady, Baxter, the Rat King, and several others. I would also like to see how they interact with good guys like Casey Jones, the frogs, the neutrinos, and a few others. I would like to see them go to the Planet of the Turtles as well. I would even love to see a few crossover episodes with various turtle incarnations the original black and white, 2003, and possibly the 1990 movie cast in animated form with Corey Feldman, Robbie Rist, and Elias Koteas doing their original voice work. I would love some of the crazy villains and storylines too, like The Case of the Killer Pizzas, the Robocop Rex-1 episode, that time Mikey needed some extra cash and became a delivery boy or when he met his comic book heroes, when Donnie went to college on a boat, any of the gangster episodes or anytime the turtles went undercover.

I'm getting all nostalgic and just want to take the afternoon off to watch TMNT all weekend now just thinking about it. This may be the longest IMDB post Ive ever made but I just cant stop typing about my love of this TMNT and the original TMNT.

Sadly though we would miss out on one of the most pivotal pieces, an appearance from the great James Avery as Shredder.

I took a little while to write this and would appreciate any feedback from fellow Turtle fans, let me know what you think or any stories and characters you would like to be included. One things for sure though, no mention of the Michael Bay films. Uck.

Im still with this idea.

This is not a bad idea, but there is one small problem. So much of the old cartoon was just...awful. Don't hate me. There is plenty of good material. They just need to be careful to stay clear of the cringingly bad stuff. The Turtles in Space half of this season is already pushing me towards losing interest in this series. Hopefully the City at War arc will bring me back.

Thit and thpin!

I like the old stuff a lot but it is very cartoony. I thought the 2012 TMNT did a good job finding the balance for a short cameo. They would need to be a little more serious if they were present for longer periods of time.

TMNT Forever just went way over the top with the 80s cheesiness and had it 10x what it originally was.

Cool. I'd like to see them do a crossover merging the 1987, 2003, and 2012 cartoons together.
