[series theme song]
Chorus: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a half shell! Turtle power! / Here we go! It's the lean, green, ninja team / On the scene, cool teens doing ninja things / So extreme, out the sewers like laser beams / Get rocked with the shell-shocked pizza kings! / Can't stop these radical dudes / The secret of the ooze made the chosen few / Emerge from the shadows to make their move / The good guys win and the bad guys lose! / Leonardo's the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through / Donatello is a fellow, has a way with machines / Raphael has the most attitude on the team / Michelangelo, he's one of a kind, and you know just where to find him when it's party time / Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need, to be one lean, mean, green incredible team! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a half shell! Turtle power!

I have been a been a fan since I was a kid and am glad they are still around in one form or another. (Except if Michael Bay gets a hold of it. :) )
This form of the TNMT is great. They have taken some of the ideas from previous series and adapted it to this story. Nick has taken the ideas and applied them for a new generation to enjoy. The CGI is certainly a great idea and it gives the guys a modern look and I like that they have made them more individual.
Deep down the core of the story is still the same 4 brothers being a team and kicking Shredders butt. But it is more than that it is also about family and applying the things they learn from Splinter in everyday life.
Leonardo is still the leader. I like this one because he seems to be able to lead but still have a sense of humour. Some of the other series he can be a bit serious and always more worried about how to be a better leader.
Raphael is still the hot head. He always likes to punish the bad guys and ask questions later. And like the other series his aggressive nature lands him in trouble more often than not and a good source for conflict with Leo. (See Temper turtle)
Michelangelo is always fun and source of amusement from the other turtles. They always treat him like most brothers do with funny calls and giving him a hard time in a brotherly way. Especially Raph.
And of course Donatello, I don't know why but he always seems to be the one I connect with (Everyone has their favourite). He is calm, easy going. He seems to be the positive influence in the group always trying to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. Although he doesn't mind beating a few heads with his bo staff to get his point across. Plus the other turtles would be lost without his tech knowledge and ability to build awesome turtle vehicles and smoke bombs.
What ever your fancy this show has something for everyone. Little kids and big kids alike.
Don't think about it too much Buy it, download it, watch it, enjoy!
