Summary: The last 4 Seasons on DVD
Comment: I have collected The first 6 volumes of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including Seasons Four, Five, and Six, and they were totally awesome! Many fans are worrying about the missing episodes, "Once Upon a Time Machine", and "Planet of the Turtleoids" Part 1 and Part 2, and I wish they will included as bonuses in future releases. Season 7 should be the sideseason which took place between episodes 66 and 67, while the Technodome is in Dimension X, and the season that chronologically began at where Episode 143 left off. The Technodrome is still located at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean until the last episode, when it is sent back to Dimension X. Seasons Eight, Nine and Ten each had 8 Episodes, so they have released together in one DVD Set, and include the three missing episodes. Please Lionsgate, release the last 4 Seasons, including the missing episodes!

Summary: A good single volume
Comment: This is a good mini season. But it is not the whole season of the show. There are 35 episode in season III this only has a measly 12 of them or 34.2% I wondered why two leather head episodes Leather Head Terroor of the Swamp and Leatherhead meets the rat king weren't on here.(FYI this is before leather head swithched sides in the newer cartoon series and possible midway through comic book series. This series is alot better than the newer series due to its more kid friendly villans and content. If you wanted to collect the episode gardually and don't fell like getting the massive 2 to 5 disk Long boxsets. This is a fair a more inexpensive way to start off. There is also a newer darker series which is currently one it's fifth seasonb but not as popular have only made a measly 100 episode compared to the ten season of about 150 maybe more episode that were made in the original series. Before they came out with the horrible short lived second midway series the Mext Mutantion aired between 1993 and 2000. If you love the turtles this is for. However if you want all the episode I suggest you buy the completion season book sets.

Summary: Classic
Comment: If ever you were a fan of the Ninja Turtles, you MUST own the complete set of the original tv series. Once you watch these dvds, you'll regress back to childhood and want everything "Ninja Turtle". Great for new Ninja fans too!

Summary: Despite a few new cartoon voices, this volume is still tubular
Comment: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 4 has some great stuff on it. Baxter Stockman comes back (along with the Rat King), Casey Jones is introduced (sounding like a breathy Clint Eastwood), Shredder thinks that he's Michelangelo when a duplicating experiment goes wrong, an alien tourist almost almost sucks up all of New York with his camera, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo are given a love potion and fall in love with Irma, while Rocksteady falls in love with April, and Shredder and Krang flood the city and send a giant squid after the turtles.
Every episode on this volume is classic. The one drawback to this collection is that on a few episodes some of the characters have different voices. Most notable are Donatello and Krang, who get terrible replacement voices for a few episodes.
But overall, these episodes will really remind you why this show was such a hit in the late 80s-early 90s and why we loved it so much as kids. If you watched this show at all, these episodes will bring it all back. There's plenty of cheesy jokes and ridiculous action.
And if you're looking for (not so) sneaky subversion, in one episode after Shredder throws a smoke bomb, Michelangelo looks right at the camera and quips "Dude. I hate it when people smoke and run." That's the stuff that makes children's cartoons into classics!

Summary: Great Price, Great Episodes.
Comment: There isnt really much i can add that hasnt been said already. Extras would be cool, yet without them, they keep the price extremly low. Usually a series on DVD with extras would cost as much as 2 DVDs without extras. I personally would pefer 2 DVDs instead of 1 with extras, so i am thankfull the ninja turtles DVDs are cheap.
I dont know why some reviewers state the show is "still very-watchable", i disagree, i think the show is brilliant and each episode is more times than not a gem. Im 25 and i watched the Turtles at the peak when they first came out, i still find them very entertaining and this volume continues the trend. "Leatherhead: Terror of the Swamp" & "Casey Jones - Outlaw Hero" are very good episodes and are terrific charaters that appear in later episodes.
Volume 4 hasnt got THE best set of episodes, yet while it has some very ordinary eps it also has some great ones. You are still going to be very happy with this purchase.
