This show broke the mold, taking a black-and-white comic book that was in fact always meant as a parody, and turning it into the biggest hit of its time.
Whether you were a Michelangelo, a Donatello, a Raphael, or a Leonardo, if you were a kid while this show was airing, you can bet you yelled "Turtle Power!" more than once. The show that spawned from the comic in turn made the franchise high profile enough for multiple feature films and video games and all sorts of apparel and other products. Heck, even now there's a "sexy ninja turtle" costume sold (seriously). These pizza-eating sewer-dwelling high-kicking turtles were proof that you didn't need "Marvel" or "DC" in your masthead to have awesome superheroes that could make the TV transition.
