Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the original comics, all four turtles had red bandanas. For the TV show, TMNT creator Peter Laird decided to give each Turtle a different color to make it easier to tell them apart:
- Leonardo has a blue bandana.
- Donatello has a purple bandana
- Raphael has a red bandana.
- Michelangelo has an orange bandana.
- GoofsIn many of the earlier episodes, a specific turtle's line would come out of the wrong character's mouth (i.e., Leonardo speaking with Raphael's voice).
- Quotes
Chorus: [series theme song] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, heroes in a half-shell - turtle power! They're the world's most fearsome fighting team! They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green! / When the evil Shredder attacks, these turtle boys don't cut him no slack! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Splinter taught them to be ninja teens! / Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines! / Raphael is cool but rude! / Michelangelo is a party dude! / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, heroes in a half-shell - turtle power!
- Alternate versionsIn 1991, CBS aired the show during their Saturday Morning line-up, with all new episodes and a new opening was added too. Along with the package came 'Turtle Tips', a portion of the show that gave useful information.

Composed by Chuck Lorre and Dennis C. Brown
In the Heroes in a Halfshell part, there's Turtle Tracks that tells the beginnings of the Turtles and their allies/adversaries and Enter the Shredder as the Turtles begin their conflict with their arch-nemesis- Oroku Saki aka The Shredder from their sensei Hamato Yoshi aka Master Splinter.
In the Hot Rodding Teenagers part, there's A Thing About Rats where the Turtles begin to fight off for justice as Baxter Stockman (un?)cannily works for Shredder by creating an army of Mousers for turtle/rat hunting and Hot Roddin' Teenagers from Dimension X where the Turtles encounter more friends and more foes.
Finally, there's Shreddered and Splintered (also called The Shredder is Splintered) where the Turtles wager out a final(?) battle with an alien brain named Krang who finally wears an android body to take over the world while Splinter takes on the Shredder once more. It may seem like the end after everything's done and one side is victorious, but wait for the next seasons to come up.
Recommended with Turtle Power...see if you can find this great series!!!!
