I watched the 80s show religiously as a kid and it was probably my first-ever favorite show, but the 2003 series won me over completely by mid-way through season 1. Particularly since my favorite character has actually always been Splinter so I forever love the 2003 series just because it let him be a badass on a regular basis. His fight against the Foot Mystics in the Return to New York arc is one of my favorite fights in all of TMNT.

I've seen all but the last season (Back to the Sewers) which I only managed to catch bits and pieces of. The bit with the turtles becoming dragons would be the Lost Season/Ninja Tribunal arc, which is technically season 5 but aired out of order because the network opted to air Fast Forward, the one with Future Bishop, instead. I wouldn't recommend Fast Forward at all, unfortunately -- all the great dark stuff of the earlier seasons is mostly filtered out and it's distinctly more kid-friendly than its predecessors. I don't think they ever really properly explain the Bishop thing, it's basically just 'yeah, now he's good. And stuff.' Even the art style's kinda 'meh' (and they stopped drawing Leo with the cut in his shell from Karai, which always bugged me since I liked the continuity of having it there). The Lost Season's pretty good though. The dragon thing gets decently well explained and it's very plot-heavy, since the episode count is so much lower than the previous seasons (it's only 12 episodes to the previous seasons' 26). Overall Fast Forward and what I saw of Back to the Sewers really feel like almost a different (and worse) show to me than S1-4 + Ninja Tribunal.

Splinter was a boss. I think my favourite parts of the Big Brawl arc were Mikey getting a chance to be awesome and the revelation that pretty much the entire fighting universe thinks Master Splinter kicks ass.

Hmm. I think I'll definitely Lost Season, then. And possibly Fast Forward, just to see, but that bit about the shell would really bug me too. Not just for continuity, but that scar was a big part of Leo's character in later seasons, a mark of what he'd been through and who he'd become (for better or worse). I always liked that about the show, that people visibly paid in ways physical and otherwise for what they went through.
