Description

Product Description Meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the most irreverent reptiles in the universe! These are the first classic animated episodes that tell the origination of Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello. Once tiny pet store turtles, an accident hurtles them into the city sewer where mutant goo transforms them into something else! Fighting for good against the malevolent Shredder and his Technodrome, these pizza-eating dare-devils are a funny, phenomenal foursome. Amazon.com The 1987 debut season of the wildly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' first animated TV series finally arrives in its entirety on this single disc. And while it's a pleasure to have these long-unavailable episodes in DVD format, the set's lackluster presentation and paltry extras also make it a disappointment for those hoping for a more expansive release. Volume One contains the five-episode "miniseries" that comprised the debut season and explained the Turtles' origins; the episodes are presented with opening and closing credits, though offered as single chapters on the disc. The "bonus" material is four episodes from the series' tenth and final season, which were largely unseen in the U.S. (though some U.K. viewers may have caught them). While interesting from a completist perspective, their inclusion clashes somewhat with the first-season episodes, as the series' look and tone had changed considerably by this point. And when combined with the disc's overall lack of quality picture and sound (video masters appear to have been used), Volume One represents something of a missed opportunity for TMNT fans; however, having the first season on a single disc may be an acceptable trade. --Paul Gaita

I had been curious to watch this series again, since I have very fond memories of the shows from my childhood. The complete boxed set was abruptly discontinued, so I'll be trying to collect all of the volumes and season sets individually.There were only five episodes in the first season, which is sort of a miniseries to introduce the Turtles and establish Shredder as their main enemy. I did watch one of the "bonus" episodes from season 10, but want to wait to view the whole series in order before watching any more. If you buy the season 10 disc, it should duplicate the "bonus" shows from this DVD (plus the portions of season 10 that weren't included here).Without giving away too many spoilers, I noticed recurring themes in the miniseries. One I had kind of missed while growing up - the idea of Master Splinter returning to human form. Raphael felt like a slightly different character. I knew he was a wise guy who liked to joke around and use sarcasm. In these episodes, I saw a more caring side of him, whether he was encouraging his brothers, or expressing concern over Michelangelo getting buried in a pile of rubble.My 5 star rating is mostly based on the content. As some other reviewers have mentioned, the audio and video were probably left as is, rather than being remastered. My setup is a progressive scan DVD player, outputting via component cables to my surround sound receiver. From there, the receiver supposedly upconverts the video to a 720p signal, and I watch the shows on my 32" 768p HDTV. On the couch, I'm probably 8 feet or more away from the screen, so the video looks fine. Episode #2 had some weird "artifacts," where it looked like extra lines were added to the picture (maybe from the deinterlacing process?). The sound isn't overpowering, with a simple two channel stereo format. I had to turn it up a little bit, but voices are clear, and I didn't hear any background noise (unfortunately, some of the other DVDs in this series do have audio issues).What more can I say? If you grew up with the Turtles, this is a good purchase or rental. I'm looking forward to collecting and watching the remaining 188 episodes!
