THE SHOW
The seventh season of this series aired in the second half of 1993. It is necessary for a number of reasons, the most clear being that it marked the raze of an era in terms of the overall tone and survey of the expose. Starting with the show’s eighth season, which aired the following year, nearly all the hallmarks of the explain – all the touchstones that made the series what it was – would be gone. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let us crash down the seventh season of the note.
The first 13 episodes of the seventh season are what fans have dubbed the “European Vacation” shows. These episodes have always been a bit of a mystery among fans, if only because, in some aspects of the fable, they seem to be out of set in the seventh season. During the first episode of the fourth season, the Turtles obtain out that they have won a vacation to Europe. So, it would stand to reason that the first leg of season four would be the Turtles’ adventures traveling across Europe. This they do; some of the storylines prefer situation in France, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Turkey. Along the plot, familiar characters (Shredder and Krang), and some not so familiar (Erik the Red View, a modern-day Viking), attempt various tainted schemes at taking over the world. Many theories abound as to why this fourth season storyline did not search for the light of day until the beginning of the seventh season (animation and/or scheduling problems being the most approved), but at least fans can rest easy that all of the “European Vacation” episodes have finally made it to DVD.
That being said, however, the extinguish of the “European Vacation” episodes and the “beginning” of the seventh season can be a bit jarring when viewing the shows in succession. While the aforementioned episodes accelerate parallel to the themes, tone and overall eye of the expose during its third and fourth seasons, the remaining 14 episodes designate a stark disagreement to them.
By the time 1993 rolled around, Saturday morning cartoons were changing. Light and fluffy were out; sad and edgy were in. The “beginning” of the seventh season (after the “European Vacation” episodes) marked a trial accelerate into this territory. Episodes were a bit darker in theme than they had been in seasons past, but not so mighty that what made the present tall in the first station – humor, pizza references, and terrific characters – was lost. It wasn’t until the eighth season that the reveal went whole hog and introduced a completely revamped (darker and edgier) premise, virtually dropping everything fans had arrive to know and admire about the series.
The first foray in this experiment was “Night of the Shaded Turtle,” a incredible episode that sees Donatello temporarily seek a darker side to his personality. Everything about this episode works: terrific humor, mountainous action sequences, outstanding animation, and rocking background music. “Night of the Shadowy Turtle” is not only a highlight of the seventh season, but it represents one of the best episodes of the entire series.
Something that is not a highlight, however, is the loss of James Avery (“Recent Prince of Bel Air”) halfway through the season as the utter of Shredder. From the beginning of the series, James Avery managed to compose Shredder a three-dimensional character, as opposed to a run-of-the-mill, one-note, cardboard cutout that most villains on cartoons encapsulate. Shredder could be scary, for certain, as a typical abominable guy; but he could also be quite hilarious, and Avery breathed worthy life into the role. Many fans understanding Shredder and Krang as a married couple because of the amount of bickering they do with each other. The improvisations that both actors brought to their roles created lasting characters that fans loved, even though they were villains. After Avery left the reveal for reasons unknown, the advise actor who replaced him did absolutely nothing with the Shredder role except to play it as a stereotypical, one-dimensional awful guy. To say that James Avery was missed as the seventh season came to a cessation is a titanic understatement.
THE DVD SET
To celebrate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 25th anniversary (somehow, Young Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn’t have quite the same ring to it), Lionsgate has decided to do something a petite different with the release of the seventh season. It has been broken up into four parts, or slices, and each Turtle has one. When combined the four slices fit together to develop one scene on your DVD shelf.
But the surprises don’t close there. Each DVD cut will also include an novel Ninja Turtles toy from Playmates, the toy company that produced the classic Turtle toys all through the show’s speed. I may not always like the DVD releases Lionsgate comes up with for this exhibit, but the fact that they have pulled out some major stops to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary is commendable and has me eagerly anticipating May 12, 2009.

Side note: only the most die-hard of fans will peek this, but it is worth pointing out: in the recent cartoon series, the Turtle with the orange bandana was always known as Michaelangelo. When the novel cartoon aired in 2003, the spelling was changed to Michelangelo. It looks like Lionsgate has decided to go with the second spelling of Mikey’s name for this DVD state. Even though I secure this annoying, it’s a minor quibble.
Good for any hardcore TMNT fan such as myself, because of the collector boxes and mini figures. But now they have released it in a simple box instead of these 4 different ones that are at plot more the mark than objective the one place of season 7 that they have unprejudiced near out with. Basically if you are a hardcore TMNT fan, and you want your collection simply to peep helpful and pay some more, then this is for you, if not, assign money, time, and shelf location and purchase the simple season 7 one that isn’t in 4 titanic boxes.
