Homages to cartoons on TMNJ:


Well, here is what I picked up:

"Space Heroes" looks exactly like the Star Trek cartoons from the 1970s;
I don't remember the other titles but I saw something like a knockoff from 'Thundarr the Barbarian';
Any other ones, you history fans care to name? I'm sure there are others but I cannot remember them right now:


Thanks ahead of time.

They did Voltron a couple times too. I like it when they slip stuff like that in there. There was even an episode they used the old TMNT cartoon in. I watch it with my son and I swear they slip stuff like that in just for us dads. My wife likes to crack fun at me claiming I look forward to the show more than Junior does.

reply

yes! the voltron homage!

That's one of the things that makes this show so great: A parent can sit down with their kids and everyone is entertained. The kids because its Turtles and just a plain great show, but then even if the parents might (somehow?) become bored, here comes Michelangelo singing Go Ninja Go! Then the parents are laughing hysterically, and the kids are asking why, and the parents are breaking out the old VHS tapes, and the kids are then haunted by images of Vanilla Ice.

There are cartoon homages in grinding teeth during sleep?

The most recent eps had another parody/homage/tribute to 80s cartoons; looks like a knock off of 'Masters of the Universe'; the guy even yells, "I HAVE THE ENERGY!"

I'm sure there are others.

It's been a long time since i've seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Jaguars.

And I always thought TMNJ was that medical condition caused by clenching your teeth.

That line "1987 called" is obviously a reference to the '87 version.
