[@erics.czernecki7333]

The reason the animation seemed to get flatter in season 2 was a change in animation studios- from Guenther-Wahl Productions (their other notable work- The Angry Beavers) to Ruby-Spears Productions (who were SERIOUSLY stretching for cash after they were spun off by Taft Broadcasting- basically, they sold the *library* pre-1991 to Turner Broadcasting, so that's why some products of theirs are credited to Hanna-Barbera; at this point, they were known as RS Enterprises, and they'd ultimately go out of business in 1996.) Sorta like how Captain Planet shifted from DIC to Hanna Barbera after Turner bought the company.

"It was a terrible idea" Aaaaaand 4 mutated, anthropomorphic turtles who know ninjitsu, eat nothing but pizza, and live in the NYC sewer system wasn't?

[@conkyjoe8932]

Jacob Wells Exactly. I think FAR too many ppl view the Turtles through rose-colored lenses. It was actually a pretty lame concept, and given that there's no WAY it should have had this much longevity. I think the entire reason for this is millennial adults driven off nostalgia who haven't ever actually went back and re-watched the old cartoons. They're ass terrible!!!

[@NeoSaturos123]

At least the 2003 version is pretty good.

[@rbl205]

As much as I hate to admit it, you've got a point. About a year or two ago, I purchased the first four seasons of the original TMNT cartoon series on DVD, just to relive some of those sweet childhood memories. I was able to watch the first two seasons with no problem, but only a few episodes in of the third season it just became borderline torture to watch, and I still haven't finished it or even tried to watch season four. It's definitely a silly concept, but it seems that the writers where at least trying to take it somewhat seriously at first. Then it just got bogged down with lazy writing after it became "to big to fail".

As an adult I rewatched all the episodes on KZbin. Even still searching them up and coming across this video itself. I had the clothes, toys and comics. I hated the ninja turtles, but then when Gargoyles came out is when I put down my cowboy hat for a time. Thanks for ripping through my favorite tv show. Hahaha

I would like to see a reboot to Wild West COW boys of Moo Mesa by not only focusing on the story, character background, and their past with every hero and antagonist, but not make the same mistake of only bringing in characters to sell toys. But only if they don't change some of the characters like Boothill Buzzard and Saddlesore Scorpion too much on the design and personality. The show should have kept going because their story, mostly Boothill's felt unfinished.

Animaniacs is getting a revival, Rocko's Modern Life got a revival (in the form of a special) and so did Invader Zim (also in the form of a special.) Cowboys of Moo Mesa is yet another piece of nostalgia that needs to make a comeback. Who's with me on this

[@Disneyfan82]

I'm with you. There were some characters on the show who's stories were left unfinished, like Boothill Buzzard for example, meaning after learning on the WIKI page of the show, that his mother was locked away in state prison, makes me curious about his past, like what life was life for buzzards and vultures, wondering if prejudice and discrimination existed off screen. But also would have liked to see more of Sarah Sheep, Sally Sue Holstein, Bessy BlueBell, and Sadie WowCow.

[@dooplon5083]

[@mistersureshot1749]

Atomic Robo Tesla "Cowboy" is generally a term for somebody who rides a horse with that hat style, that's why Pirates are still sometimes called "Sailors". But generally those types of cowboys are called ranchers, but we pay more attention to "Outlaws".

[@ultimatedarkrai255]

Blame billy the kid

[@moonstruck8245]

Yep - the word 'cowboy' came from 'vaquero', referring to the men who would keep cattle herds where they belonged, round them up for branding, shipping and whatnot - who most of the time were Hispanic or Native, but the idea of cowboys became romanticized largely by Marlboro's sales campaigns and snowballed into the western entertainment everyone's familiar with today. Bandits or desperados would be the criminals, not the cowboys. Of course cowboys as a job largely vanished when barbed wire fences became a thing...lot cheaper and easier to keep a herd contained with a few dollars worth of wire, even if a few men were kept on hand in case of fence breaks or other issues.

[@dogman9291]

It was an odd childhood. A childhood strangely devoid of Cartoon Network's existence until I was in high school.

They weren't trying to disassociate the show with real cowboys, they were trying to distance it from the pop-culture version of cowboys depicted by Hollywood. The real historical cowboys were just honest labourers, usually black or Mexican who worked for cattle ranches. The idea of the bandit or drifter cowboy was taken from old, fictional books which inspired the whole Wild West genre. These books were entertaining but they didn't really have any basis in fact, for the most part.

"So why the hell did so many of us watch it when we could have so easily changed the channel?" Well, in my case, my parents didn’t want to spring for cable or satellite at the time, so we only had about three channels, and I thinkmonly one of them had Saturday morning cartoons.

We couldn't afford it but I was over the moon knowing it was back on the air somewhere. One of the kicker moments that I enjoyed with this show was when my mom came home from work one day long after the series had gone off saturday mornings and burst in my room like OH MY GOD WHAT THE HECK DID I FIND AT LUNCH TODAY.. and she handed me a Moo Mesa toy figure she got in a kiddy meal from like taco cabana or something. I flipped my shit and we actually went out and got me the whole collection. I still have them to this day. They were based on the designs of the second season but MERCH IS FUCKING MERCH.

Having watched some of the show, I can honestly say…it’s not weird at all. It’s basically your standard talking antro-animals 90s Saturday Morning cartoon. The only thing truly weird about it the needlessly convoluted backstory for why Moo Mesa exists. Whoever penned that seems to have forgotten that antro-animal shows were just a common phenomenon (especially at the time) that nobody questioned the logistic behind.

[@Disneyfan82]

I think Nostalgia Critic has serious issues and serious problems when it comes to imperfection in some cartoon shows that are not even nowhere near terrible as he always makes it out to be. If there was a reboot to this show someday, it would be nice to not only see improved development and backstory to characters that never had their stories finished, but to go into more development on the comet.

If I were in that world I’d appreciate becoming Montana’s deputy

Never heard of this. Thanks for bringing shards of cartoon and movie history to the commoners.

I had a CMM lunchbox as a kid but literally saw one episode in my entire life. Still remember the theme though which is tremendous praise to whoever wrote it.

OMG I remember watching this show! I had totally forgotten about it.... or repressed it...

[@jasondouglas152]

The arcade game was at a store by my house when I was a kid. It was actually pretty good

They definitely should’ve done more with this show. It did get silly later but they did good before, and if TMNT can go far despite it being about mutant ninja turtles who are also teenagers, why can’t this show?

[@Disneyfan82]

Of course they should have done more for this show with so much potential just like Filmation should have done more for "Bravestarr" that also had so much potential to continue and finish a lot of things that felt unfinished like everyone's backstory, development and the arrest of the Masked Bull. I get that they should not have changed the animation style in the second season, but it still had good episodes in it to remember.

I actually remember the arcade game! It was awesome!

Not gonna lie, I chuckled when he said "Its deep son"

Umm... Cowboys weren't outlaws. They just moved massive herds of cattle from one area to another. Most cowboys never completed more than one cattle run, though. Months of hard riding wasn't a long term career.

Say what you want, but that opening theme song is awesome.

Sometimes Nostalgia Critic doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.

Does anyone else notice that, with every video, the NC's "hell-OOOO" in the beginning gets more and more high pitched?

A steampunk neo-western with furries? This would be huge today!
