Man, this would be a cool TV show. They just need some ninja suits and learn some martial arts.

Yes and give them names of Italian renaissance artists for no reason.

To be fair, their sewer home was pretty cozy and well furnished.

Only because we can't smell a TV show.

The million dollar idea! Smell-o-sense TV! I still stand by the my statement that the Ninja Turtle's home looked cozy, I can't speak to the aroma. Depending on the iteration of the turtles, sometimes it's more of an abandoned subway station and not a raw sewage system.

Didn’t a show at one point do ‘smell-o-vision’? I can’t recall who though.

And because of the TV rule that every protagonist home must be unrealistically spacious and well-appointed compared to their stated income bracket and other factors. Unless the protagonist is canonically rich af, then they just play it straight.

You are not wrong since Splinter was a rat in the original comics but a mutant human in the TV series.

You're not correct either.

I like the "splinter was a human" versions better. Despite everything absurd in TMNT, it's how easily he just learns ninjitsu that seems impossible to me. In one version he learns it from a single book in the sewers!

I stand corrected. Thanks, I learned something today!
