Chronologically Confused About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles DVDs (2011) Poster

James Rolfe: Narrator

Quotes 

  • Narrator : You'd think with a show as popular as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they'd be able to release both series consistently, by season, in order, as a complete uniform collection. But no, instead, it's a disaster.

  • Narrator : Season 5 is where things get really screwed up. All the episodes are out of order. It doesn't matter TOO much, the episodes don't always have continuity between them, but if you're trying to watch the whole series, it's nice to be able to keep track while following along with an episode list. I wanna know where I'm at! I want to watch the show in order! Not shuffled around at pure random. Also, season 5 is missing two of the episodes, not counting the first episode, that was on the season 4 set. The missing episodes are "Once Upon a Time Machine" and "Planet of the Turtleoids". Originally, "Planet of the Turtleoids" was a primetime hour-long special, but it aired again as part of season 5, divided as a two-parter. Maybe they didn't consider it part of season 5, but that doesn't explain what happened to "Once Upon a Time Machine". The real tragedy is that neither one of these episodes were ever released on DVD in any form whatsoever. Although, "Return of the Turtleoids" and "Escape from the Planet of the Turtleoids" were included on future DVDs. So why not have first "Turtleoid" episode? It doesn't make any sense. What's the reason for this? Maybe there IS no reason. Maybe they dropped the ball. Maybe they spent too much time making the DVD set look like a fuckin' pizza box!
