TMNT 2003 Season 1 Review

TFG1Mike and Steve Megatron dive into the first season of the 2003 4Kids Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, examining its shift toward a darker, more serialized storytelling approach compared to the campy 1987 original. They discuss the voice cast, the introduction of the Purple Dragons and Baxter Stockman as early villains, the arc leading to Shredder's reveal, and standout two and three-part episodes like "Shredder Strikes" and "Notes from the Underground." Both hosts praise the animation quality, continuous narrative structure, and character development across the 26-episode season while highlighting their favorite episodes and rating the series overall.
