Oh, TMNT. I never thought about the breaking-the-fourth-wall thing, though. I guess so many cartoons did that back then that I didn't notice! Either that, or the fact that I would have been four years old when the show came out that I didn't actually remember much of it until later, when they had already started breaking the fourth wall. I'll have to check out the early episodes, sometime. It would be interesting to see Shredder as someone other than the guy married to Krang. 'Cause those two were totally in a relationship.
ANYWAY: The current toon is awesome! Anyone with a passing interest in TMNT should check it out. In fact, it's so good, I'm still baffled as to why the movie happened at all. They have a current and perfectly good show going....why do some random unrelated movie?
