Version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Saban is still trying.

Face it, the people at Saban Eneterment just don't get it do they. You can't make cheesy tv. The world hated Power Rangers. So what do they do? They try to turn us on the Ninja Turtles. Well it just doesn't work that way.

I am a big TMNT fan, and this is not the way it should be done. Though I think that Saban sucks. They gave this a good effort. Still, it could be much better.
