Response to previous reviewers questions

Ok ive noticed that a few reviewers were questioning the fact that Raphael and Donatello have different voices in a few episodes. There is nothing wrong with your DVDs, the reason their voices sound different is because the people doing their voices were different. For whatever reason Rob Paulsen and Barry Gordon, who usually voiced Raphael and Donatello, were not there at the recording of those episodes. Each character had their own back up actor in case someone was absent for the recording of the episode, so that is all it is. Since the 1989 Season had so many episodes that happends from time to time with Donatello (and Bebop), Raphael, Shredder and Krang. So for future releases dont be surprised if you notice that again. After the 1989 Season most of the usual voice actors were there for the recordings except for some of the last seasons. So anyway, sorry for the long explanation but that is what it is so everyone knows.
As far as the DVD goes, I still think Artisan should have just released the whole 1989 Season in a boxset (like most tv shows) instead of these twice a year, 12 episode, dvds. But I can't complain too much since they are releasing all of them in order, even though it will take years before all the episodes are out. The quality of the episodes are good but everything else is just pretty much bare bones. It would be nice if there were at least a few extras included, but again it is still nice they continue to release TMNT on DVD. With a cheap price it is a good purchase, but just dont expect anything exstensive.

My favorite cartoon!

I use to love watching TMNT when I was younger just like many other people, the new turtles cartoons are pure crap.
I've only watched the first 3 episodes of this DVD so far and I noticed the same thing, first Raphael had different voice then next episode Donatello. Not sure why, maybe someone else will have an answer.

The Origin Turtles rock !!!

Finally they started to speed things up with the releases. The original TMNT is the best cartoon I have ever seen. It is filled with action and humour. The episodes are well written and are never boring. It's so much better then the 2003 TMNT, were the humor is seriously lacking. These 12 episodes are part of the best season of the entire run. I'm looking forward seeing these episodes again. The Turtles, Splinter, April, Shredder and Krang are at top form. Baxter Stockman returnes with a vengenge and Casey Jones is introduced. The Rat King also returns. The episodes included on this release are:

THE NINJA SWORD OF NOWHERE
20,000 LEAKS UNDER THE CITY
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER
THE FOUR MUSKETURTLES
TURTLES, TURTLES EVERYWHERE
COWABUNGA, SHREDHEAD
INVASION OF THE TURTLE SNATCHERS
CAMERA BUGGED
GREEN WITH JEALOUSY
RETURN OF THE FLY
CASEY JONES: OUTLAW HERO
MUTAGEN MONSTER

I recomant this to any TMNT fan, or just any cartoon fan. You won't be sorry buying this DVD. I already can't wait for Volume 5, or Volume 6 for that matter :=)

CASEY JONES and LEATHERHEAD.....'nuf said.

The original classic mutant-teens are back, the new series is great, but it's great to see these "still very watchable" toons, My 4 and 8 year-old (DAUGHTERS!) enjoy and ask to see these as a companion to the 21st cen. Counterparts. The FOX series just hit 100 episodes, combined with the original 193, TMNTs will be at 300+ before the end of the year. CONGRATs boys!

Don't be fooled by the VOLUME "4" This volume is continuing (not yet completing) the 35 episode season THREE, running September of 1989 to July 1990, their last season as a strictly syndicated series before CBS, picked them up for the remainder of their 10 years on air. The THIRD vol. contained the first 12 episodes of that season, VOL. 4 contains the next 12.

Notable stories from this season containing the introductions of two major characters recognizable from the 2000s: CASEY JONES (episode 39) and LEATHERHEAD (episode 41). In these earlier incarnations these character's are less like their FOX or their Mirage comicbook selves, but are still a pleasure to watch. Unfortunately this volume just missed including USAGI YOJIMBO (episode 43)

Here's the running order:

The Old Switcheroo
Attack of the Big MACC
Camera Bugged
The Four Musketurtles
Turtles at the Earth's Core
Beware the Lotus
Take Me to Your Leader
Blast from the Past
Casey Jones - Outlaw Hero
Turtles, Turtles Everywhere
Leatherhead: Terror of the Swamp
Corporate Raiders from Dimension X

Note: 5 stars series, but 3 for DVD extras.

What happened to their voices?

I've only watched the first few episodes on this 4th volume, but I was wondering what happened to the Turtles voices? In the first episode, "Ninja Sword of Nowhere", Raphael's voice is way different and in the next episode Donatello's voice is off. Is there something wrong with my copy or is it like this on other people's discs? Just wondering if anyone knew what the deal was with that.
