Of course little nitpicks and directions,but pleased overall.<br /><br />I can see where they altered the conclusion and it turned out much better with your suggestion IMHO. Its cool how a little suggestion can change the whole outcome even influence future continuity.mikeandraph87https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592342454303147739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225302720400600293.post-58790866136724930912011-08-15T17:05:53.044-07:002011-08-15T17:05:53.044-07:00Wow, this was one of my favorite episodes.

I think I was surprised ...Thanks for the response!<br /><br />I think I was surprised both at the amount of serious, thoughtful input you had to offer, and at 4Kids asking for the input. I guess at the time TMNT was yours, so you were calling the shots - maybe it's not so surprising after all. <br /><br />I guess I think of things like the Smurfs cartoon, or Superfriends, or He-Man, or The Real Ghostbusters, where the property's creators didn't have much input (either they didn't care, or they weren't around, or the cartoon studio said "thanks but no thanks"). <br /><br />Either way, it's cool to see the thought and back-and-forth process behind the scenes of the 4Kids show.
