Divide and Conquer

Dregg makes a proposition to any warrior that they will be showered with wealth and power if they can last 90 seconds against the Turtles. The Turtles seem to be a match for the aliens fueled by Dregg's motivation that keep appearing in their dimension.

Show Summary

Edit Summary »

This version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the most distinctive from its MIRAGE comic origins. It thrived more on humor instead of a dark attitude, especially in earlier seasons. Its creativity and bizarre humor made it something in the late '80s and early '90s something that had never been done before, so... more »

  • Technodrome location in European episodes

    I can't remember but does anyone know if they're's an explanation given as to why in the European Vacation episodes the Technodrome is on a tropical island? Shouldn't it be in the Artic or under water?

    As Michaelangelo would say "Tubuloso!" hide « show »

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of the best cartoons of the 80s. My favorite ninja turtle is Michaelangelo. Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael are great, too. This show is about four turtles who fall in the sewers and have been affected with mutagen, which turns into humanoid pizza-loving turtles, and must defeat Shredder and his foot clan. The first three TMNT videos I got were Case of the Killer Pizzas (my favorite), Attack of the Big Macc, and The Turtles' Awesome Easter. This cartoon is totally radical! Disreguard the 2003 remake, THIS is the real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cowabunga dudes!

    A classic cartoon that entertained me as a child and still does as an adult. hide « show »

    "Cowabunga" became my favorite word when i was a child all thanks to Michelangelo. This cartoon was my favorite of all time and still entertains me as an adult. I laugh and cant believe how cheesy it was at times and some of the dialogue is terrible but I don't mind it. The villains were classic as well, between shredder, rocksteady, and beebop, it was always an interesting battle. If only the new series were as good as this one but alas this is a classic that will leave an impression until the day I die. Everyone should love this show especially if they watched it when they were young.

    The show follows a band of crime fighting teenage mutant ninja turtles, Donatello Michelangelo Raffaele and Leonardo who are lead by their sensei and father splinter hide « show »

    This is one of my personal favorite shows of all time. It is amazing!

    The show is exactly as the title implies, a band of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles living in new york city go around fighting crime, specifically against the major protagonist, the evil Shredder who leads the foot, or a band of evil ninjas. The main characters are Leonardo, the leader, Donatello, the brains, Michelangelo, the clown and goofball, and Raffaele the bad tempered fighter. Their father is a martial arts teacher who was mutated from the same chemicals that the others were, he is turned into Splinter a rat.

    2.6 Terrible

    The Turtles rock the show doesn't. hide « show »

    i have never really watched this show at all. I have a computer game of it which i think is alright but i dont really get the point of it. I love the actual turtels themselves which gets them a score of 2.5 already, but for the show i dont really think its that brilliant. If they redone the show and maybe made some changes then i'd think about liking it more. Overall my favourite part of Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles has to be the turtles names. They are so cool. But for now this show isnt a favourite of mine.

    9.9 Superb

    Theis show is about four mutant turtles trained by a rat who studied under ninja. NOw they save the world from the evil shreeder and his mtant monsters. hide « show »

    I really enjoy this show when i was a kid, my favorite charcter order is Leo, Mikey,Raph, and the Donney. I enjoy the old ones better then the newer tennage mutant ninja turtles. i grew up with thius show and this was my first action animated tv show. I reccomed that everyone should watch this show cause it will make u feel like a kid agian. I just wish that they put this show back on tv and they should make a chanel that has all great old cartoons so people can watch them agian. I really love this show and watch it again.
