I've always been pretty neutral on the Turtles. When I was a kid in the 80's there were dozens of other cartoons that I'd watch before getting to that show. I had a sleepover once and a kid brought the first live action movie over he really loved it and I played along but thought it was pretty goofy. My kids got into one of the 2000's revivals for a time. We still have a lot of the toys. This looks kinda cute I guess. I think my boys are too old now though.
What were you into?
Oh man tons of stuff. Off the top of my head G.I. Joe, Transformers, Voltron, Jonny Quest, Ducktales, Robotech (the one with the Invid), Thundercats, Bionic Six, Silverhawks, Thundarr the Barbarian, He-Man, Centurions, Dungeons & Dragons....stuff like that. I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of stuff. Shows like Turtles, Real Ghostbusters, Inspector Gadget that were popular with some of my friends I'd only watch if I was desperate.
He-man hit just as I was my spirit was becoming encased in this flesh prison, so it was a pretty big deal for me.
Then I was really into Transformers, but the toys were too expensive and the parents wouldn't buy them for me.
Then I got really into GI Joe, and they had the best quality toys by far. That was probably the biggest.

Then Thundercats/Voltron/Silverhawks whatever.
Then TMNT.
After that, I aged out.
The G.I. Joes were hands down the best toys cause you could pretend they were anything. Take a old sock cut it into a cape put in on Snake Eyes now he's Batman. Probably one of the top 5 moments of my life was when my friend showed me how to take apart Joes and put them back together in different configurations. Take the head of this one put it on another body he looks close enough to Wolverine lets play X-Men. Mix and match now I got a Arnold Schwarzenegger. Let's play Predator. The best.

The cartoon is great. It's like if you gave Michael Bay an extra bag of coke. Just wall-to-wall, mindless violence. The animation is actually pretty good, too. It holds up better than the others.

The Hasbro Channel on Youtube has a 24/7 live stream I put on from time to time.
