So the new TMNT started today, any one watch it? anyone like it?
I liked it, had some nice action and seemed closer to the original comics.
Anyone else got any opinions on the topic?
(in other American cartoon news, you should all be watching both Clone High USA on MTV and the original 6 episodes of Clerks which Comedy Centeral has decided to air... check you're local listing for time and channel!)

Did not know about the new TMNT starting, but I saw the Clerks eps on New Years I think. The fourth episode is a MUST SEE.

For some reason Fox kids airs on Sundays in Arizona while Kids WB is on Saturdays. I won't be able to see it until tommorow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow. I LOVE YOU TOMORROW. You're only a DAAAY AAAWAAAY!

Unfortunately I forgot it premiered today and woke up an hour too late. How was it? I hear its closer to the original B&W comic?

It was fairly good. It is indeed closer to the original comics. The pacing of the episode was a bit off for the first half in my opinion. I don't think that the introduction to the new series was handled as well as the new MOTU series (seeing as how this first episode should really catch your attention).
They know that there is a large fanbase of already existing fans that know the story fairly well. Turtles, ooze, Shredder, yadda. Yet, kids that are new to the series will be scratching their head for a week wondering why they are mutant ninja turtles... and why is there a massive rat teaching them how to be use ninjitsu?
I have read the series synopsis at the ninja turtles website, and they are going to reveal the details as they go, which is perfectly fine... But, perhaps the first episode could have been mor well written (even if some parts did actually make me smile). The second episode looks much better by the preview.
It will surely do well though, and I hope it does!

It's good... it will re-air next week at 8:30 (with a new episode at 10:30) so set your VCR!

Ah...TMNT...the most famous ninjas who don't use ninja weapons!
The only complaint I have is "Leo," "Don," "Raph," and "Mikey"...
I prefer it when they call them by their full names!

I saw it this morning. I can't wait til Casey Jones is introduced, he's my favorite character overall, with Raphael being my favorite turtle. April will be introduced next week. I can't wait! I have been watching Clone High and I like it. Also, I never watched Futurama when it originally aired, but I've been watching it every night since it premiered on Adult Swim. I also think everyone should watch Sealab 2021 and Home Movies, which I used to not like but recently began to watch regularly and I like it.

Pretty positive impressions so far...I'll have to catch it sometime.
Is Fox airing it on weekdays also?

I enjoyed it alot, being a big fan that I am. Actually, I'm trying to play "catch up" since I personally never read the original comic.
I doubt that it will be shown on weekdays because (correct me someone) Fox ditched/extremely shortened the cartoon time slot for cartoons. I'm sorta irked at the fact that since I record the entire 4hr block on WB, watching TMNT guarantees that I'll miss something--more likely than not a show I really like.
You down with the YEEZAW?

I've heard great things, and I'm hoping to find the episode for download somewhere, but I haven't really looked yet... I'm sure somebody encoded it and put it on KaZaa by now... at least, I hope.
I'm kinda disappointed, I was awake when it was on, but I totally forgot about it. I'm a huge TMNT fan, and the fact that the show has new Konami games based on it coming excites me a lot! I only hope they're as good as Turtles in Time.

I caught it and enjoyed it. The episode was pretty basic episode. I hate it however, when ever they go into that wide screen dramatic affet. Its cool when used accordingly not cool when used every 5 mintues. That is one of my pet peeves of Samurai jack.

Overall it was a good episode, but not as good as the original 5 episodes of the first series. (Didn't like anything after the first 5 episodes, though.) Yeah, it was closer to the comic, but I kind of wish they still used Robot Ninjas just so Leonardo and Raphael could cut something instead of just disarming and kicking their opponents away.
Raphael acted the way he's supposed to act, and that was great!
I have high hopes for this series if it stays close to the comic all the way through. Hopefully Baxter Stockman will show up as an African American, Casey Jones and April O'niel will date and Renet the time Traveller will appear! I hope Shredder gets killed a bunch of times before Leonardo finally chops his head off, but I'm asking for way too much on Saturday Morning! TURTLE POWER!
