Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Everyone knows who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are, unless you live in a cave, or are dead!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a fictional team of four teenage anthropomorphic turtles, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat master (or sensei) in the art of ninjutsu and named after four Renaissance artists. From their home in the storm sewers of New York, they battle petty criminals, evil overlords and aliens, all while remaining isolated from society-at-large.

Upon TMNT's first arrival in the United Kingdom and Ireland the name was changed to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (or TMHT, for short), since local censorship policies deemed the word ninja to have excessively violent connotations for a children's programme. Consequently, everything related to the Turtles (comic books, video games, toys, etc.) had to be renamed before being released.
The lyrics were also changed, such as changing "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens" to "Splinter taught them to be fighting teens". The policies also had other effects, such as editing out use of Michelangelo's nunchaku (which were at the time banned from appearing in 18 rated movies) and generally toning down the usage of all the turtles' weapons. To head this problem off, the showrunners elected to remove Michelangelo's nunchaku entirely during season three, replacing them with a grappling hook called the "Turtle Line" that served as Mikey's signature weapon for the rest of the show's run.

Luckily for everyone here, The episode I have posted is the original Ninja Turtles, not the censored Hero Turtles, after all we are all grown ups here! (hahaha!!)

Fun Fact - Shredder was voiced by James Avery who played Uncle Phil in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!!
