Saturday Morning memories thread

Personally, I like the Third one a little more than the second. If Renet the Time Sourceress were in the third one, the time travelling thing would have made more sense... But at LEAST the third one had Casey Jones in it...

If my memory serves, he was in one of the other previous films, too. He clashed with Ralph as usual. XD

Casey Jones was in the first movie .
I think my favorite movie is the 2nd. I actually always liked the rap. I know, I know.. But it just fits to me..I am not a rap fan ether

But back to the cartoon... there are only 2 real things that bother me watching it as an adult...

1) the serious lack of Casey Jones. I mean, in the first, third and fourth movies, the comic book, and the new cartoon series he's the Turtles' best bud. In the old series, they used him in 3 episodes.

2) The fact that the third season was mostly episodes about annoying cartoony aliens coming over with some sort of technology that Shredder and Krang wanted to steal, made the third season very repetitive.

I still love the old one though... right up until the Lord Dregg crap. &^% Lord Dregg. They only used the Triceritons in one episode, and they had the last 2 seasons focus on such a generic villain. Tony Jay gave it his all when he played the character, but that was about it.

Can't disagree there.

Of course, I HATE HATE HATED the episode with Wingnut and Screwloose... considering the fact the Archie Comics version had a superior story. Of course, I tend to thing Archie had a superior direction with the older series characters than even the cartoon did.

Depends on the series. Archie may have been good with the Turtles, but with Sonic & friends, they've been hit and miss.

I give them credit trying to work the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog characters in a Sonic SatAm world... all while ignoring Sonic Underground (though they would have done a superior job)... of course, their Sonic X stuff is an improvement.

Well, technically, the world of Archie is a mix of AoStH (pink Sally having a cameo in Christmas Blast), SatAM (Bunnie & Antoine getting together and Sonic & Sally patching things up after a rocky start), and the games (in the mid-90's issues, this would mean inserting Amy & introducing Shadow).

all while ignoring Sonic Underground (though they would have done a superior job)...

Actually Sonic-Prime (the Sonic in the classic games & in the first two Sonic cartoons [i.e. the first true Sonic], as Sega of America stated [because Sonic was conceptually developed in America before he was made by the Japanese into the gaming icon he's since become, not to mention that the U.S. was the first country to receive Sonic as said gaming icon via the 8-bit versions of Sonic 1 & Sonic 2--on the Master System & Game Gear--before the more famous 16-bit versions--on the Genesis/MegaDrive--came along]) met his SU counterpart and even teammed with him when the Robotnik from the SU dimension transported himself into the world of Sonic-Prime to take over for the supposedly dead Robotnik of Sonic-Prime's dimension (all before the supposedly dead Robotnik had his body reincarnated by yet another alternate reality version of himself--Robo Robotnik--into the form of Dr. Eggman).

of course, their SX stuff is an improvement

Especially over the American 4Kids dub. Dohohohoho!

Though the issue where Dr. Eggman goes crazy after a sugar rush is pretty out there.... Though I like how he dresses up as Chris and one of the bots says, "That's even MORE disturbing!"

Speaking of Archie comics, there was a Saturday cartoon in the 80s, wasn't there? I have a few comics that says to look for it - I'm not sure I ever watched it, though.
