I love TMNT since the 90's and still do today. I wish nick release the Turtles Forever movie uncut and not the edited tv version. Also I hope they re-release all the seasons of the 2k3 version of the series as well.

Oh man, I would loooovveee for them to put the uncut version of Turtles Forever out. As it is the release we did get is almost an insult to what is one of the best fanwank films of all time. It seems like the US oddly enough keeps getting the short end of the stick for TMNT releases though - Germany got the director's cut of the first live-action film that we've never gotten, and I want to say Australia did get a properly encoded uncut Forever release. It sucks.
Off topic - dude...your avatar. XD I'm totally saving that for future use elsewhere.
Anywho, I've been a fan of the Shelltastic four since i was a wee lad. Recently i've been reading IDW's new TMNT comic, its pretty good so far. Also hoping to track down the trades of the original Mirage series eventually.
As for the new cartoon, I have mixed feelings on it. I mean I know Nick is still capable of producing quality animations, its just that well...the network in general has been kind of dwindling in quality for about 7-8 years now... so i'm going to be cautiously optimistic and hope it turns out to be a really good show, but not be disapointed if it ends up sub-par overall.
To formerly introduce my standing in this thread, I'm someone who became a Ninja Turtles fan through the 2003 show. As a kid, I occasionally saw a few episodes of the old show, and later, Next Mutation (which wasn't too good, though their crossover with Power Rangers was pretty cool...sorry, off-topic nerding ), but it never really interested me. But I love the 2003 show (bar none the best work 4Kids was involved with), and the 2007 Imagi film was pretty good too.
Hope the new show's good.

I would love that too, along with TMNT: Back to the Sewer to complete my 2k3 series collection.
I need to get started on my TMNT collection anew. Despite my love, all I really have are the movies on DVD, and a few games. Sure, I've got old VHS tapes with episodes on them, but I need DVDs!
Since it's much more readily available on DVD, I'd probably focus on the old toon first, but I need the 2K3 series too.
I probably won't be hunting down the singles, I'm playing the waiting game and hoping Nick puts out some comprehensive sets for the show (preferably better done than the Forever DVD they did). The hunting for those singles would be hella pricey right now.
Oh yeah, and I also need to get around to getting the new omnibus release for the old Mirage comics.
Speaking of the 2k3 series, what's your favorite season or episode from it. Mine would be season 4 cause it was really dark. Especially the episode "Insane in the Membrane" where Dr. Stockman makes a clone of himself and it starts to decay and fall apart. Talk about giving kids nightmares huh?

Hmm...honestly, I've only seen select portions of 2K3 and it's been a while, but I definitely remember the one you're talking about, because it's on the only DVD set for them I do have (which I completely forgot about in my previous post). That episode is INSANE, it's no wonder it got severely edited in it's TV airing from what I hear (or did it air at all?).
Another episode I really like is 'Same As It Never Was'. Oh man...seeing the dark future in that version of their timeline was horrible, but in a great way. Poor Mikey...

If you find the Ninja Tribunal set and Turtles Against H.A.T.E. single on the cheap anytime soon, pick them up right away.
