As I mentioned in another comment elsewhere, I am cautiously optimistic about the new series.

I just want to say, I'm a huge fan of the 2003 TMNT series,one of my favorite TMNT things along with the mirage comics and the first TMNT movie from 1990. I was wondering, how are you feeling about how Nick is handling the new TMNT cartoon? I really like all the references to both the original comics and the 80's series in the new TMNT show, and how the ending for the new theme song is a reference to TMNT Vol.1 #1 (Which was pretty cool). Also, in case you haven't seen it, here's a new tralier for it if you would like to see it: http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/07/20/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-trailer-nickelodeon/Turtle Titanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976474702197832850noreply@blogger.com
