Sam and Friends BookI love these scaley green dudes, and with the New show and the possible rerelease of the movie (possibly only in the UK), I've decided to move the discussion of the shows (past and Present) here so as not to junk up the other thread in the Fantasy section.
So to start things off, I'll give me 2 cents to the new show.
I love it.
A bit glib, I know, but I'll explain.
The darker grittier drawings and stylization while keeping good humor about it. I love how there is a lack of Mutants save for the Turtles themselves (so far) and a few others in one episode. Plus I have to say, Shredder never scared me until now... he's actually threatening in this series... Plus we have Casey Jones, perhaps my favorite non-Turtle character.
The plots are more or less from the classic B&W comic book itself... there are changes and the Return to New York Storyline took place before The Secret Origin/ Fugitoid saga began unlike the comic, but all and all, perfectly keeping to the creator's original ideals. As a cartoonist myself, I love to see the creators have their hands in their own creation.
I have to admit one thing... out of everything I miss in the old series, piped in cartoony music, sloppy Animation, wacko plots... the only thing I miss is... Krang. Now, i like how in this new series Shredder speaks for himself and is very threatening. he even sicks a 900 pound giant on people. But in the old series Shred head was a lacky for Krang, making him look like a total idiot who was in charge of Bebop and Rocksteady... Shredder didn't really do much, and he was more the traditional "Cowardly" supervillain that hid behind his thugs and rarely fought (he did.. rarely). But Krang made up for all that. He's a talking brain in the android body of a fat guiy with an odd shped head with Sunglasses and a tuning fork on the top of his skull... He made the badguy action sequences fun in that show, and IMO, Krang was the Best that classic Turtles had to offer.
I miss him...

He was always my favorite - I even named our turtle after him!
