Turtles to the Second Power

At Last, the Two Lost Episode are on DVD!
I grew up watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series and the live movies. I stumbled upon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Original Series - Season 4 back in 2007 at a Walmart store and of course I had to buy it. I later ordered the previous seasons which were never released in sets; instead they were released in six volumes.

I patiently wait for every new season to be released. When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Original Series - Season 5 was released back in August 2007, I, like many other fans, was disappointed that two episodes were left out of the set. I was disappointed again in the next four season releases as they didn't have the missing episodes either.

LionsGate has finally released the tenth and final season to DVD. For a bonus, the two missing episodes "Once Upon a Time Machine" and the double...

It's about time...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started its animated run in 1987. This is the series that made every little boy, and some little girls, go outside to play Ninja Turtles instead of Cowboys and Indians and Cops and Robbers.

This series also made us little fans constantly bug our parents to buy us the action figures, the Turtle pies, the cereal, the "Crunchabungas", go to the 3 movies during this run, buy the video games, waste 20 bucks on the arcade game, and yes, the Halloween costumes every year. And I'm sure most of us tried to ask our parents to order a peanut butter and anchovy pizza.

Now that the nostalgia is over, let's get to the review, or preview in this case:

This series sadly ended in 1996, but not without a final season for the ages. There was a new voice actor for Raphael, although it wasn't too noticeable, Shredder and Krang make their return for an epic multi-part episode, and Dregg wants revenge after being exposed in the Season 9 finale...

It's finally here
Finally TMNT fans can have the whole collection on DVDs. It is a nice addition to my collection and I was very happy to get the missing episodes as well. Highly recommended for die hard fans. Long live the turtles!!!
