A franchise that reached world-wide popularity circa-1990. The charactors were four mutated turtles that were the size of humans, crave pizza, talk and have expert martial at skills, learned from a similarly mutated giant rat... Master splinter. Their sworn enemy was The Shredder, or "Shreadhead"/"metalmouth".

a very cool show that was on Saturday morning TV during the late 80s and early 90s. It was inspired by a cult comic book and spawned 3 motion pictures and several video games. The 4 turtles became mutated by a radioactive ooze. This factor gives the seies an environmental message leaning that needs attention today.
1. In the computer room in the campus library where I went to college the 4 tie-in printers are named Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael.
2. When the local TV stations in 1992 started programming 4 hours of nonstop bullshit news programs on Saturday mornings for the yuppies, my son Roger cried because he couldn't watch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" anymore. I wrote to Channel 6 telling them how furious I was.

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens. (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (that's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but prude (gimme a break!)
Michelangelo is a party too (party!)

The charming and some what ridiculous adventure of four giant talking turtles!
It all starts when some kid decides to buy four turtles, name them after famous artists and flush them down a massive toilet one after the other!
Now is this the end of our heroes? ooh no! the sewers happen to be radioactive, because what sewer is complete without being radioactive I ask you?
And does this radioactivity Ionise their cells and give them cancer? ooh no! it makes them grow massive, stand upright, de-evolves their shell to the point of being useless and evolves their vocal cords so they can speak! oh the wonders of radioactivity!
Now, in these crazy sewers they find a giant rat who can speak English! and does this rat attack them? ooh no! it becomes their master and teaches them Kung fU, THEN IT ARMS THE TURTLES WITH WEAPONS!
Now, do the turtles have revenge upon the heartless child who flushed them down the toilet? ooh no! the child is forgiven and they start a war with a bunch of SHADOW WARRIORS oooooh! because fighting is fun!
and that pretty much concludes the story of the teenage mutant ninja turtles!

These guys are NOT ninja!
They are samurai!!!
Watch the tv show and read the comics. They may not wear armour, they may know acrobatics, but they are NOT ninja!
Ninja wear all black, and they wear pants, and they actually use the shadows for cover regardless of the time of day instead of hiding underground during the day.
Yes, I know that the name "Teenage Mutant Samurai Turtles" doesn't sound NEARLY as cool as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but I don't care.

A TV show/game starring four turtles that fell into toxic waste as young'uns, and developed deformites over the years as they hit puberty. They liked to pretend old, decrepid rat thought them ninja moves, and then went out to try saving something. They enjoy pizza and live in a sewer. They are probably mostly all gay because there is only one female in the series.
"I just delivered a pizza to the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, only instead of sauce, it was blood tested with HIV positive!"
