On September 8, 1990, the show began its first run on CBS. This was the fourth season of the wildly popular "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animated cartoon. The first three seasons had been (and continued to be) shown in syndication on the USA network, and also (for a short while, anyway) on the FOX network. When the cartoon began airing on CBS, it aired two episodes back-to-back, with "Turtle Tips" in between, animated shorts advising viewers young and old on environmental issues, such as not running too much water or wasting too much electricity.

Season Four of the series took the show to new heights, as new characters were introduced, familiar characters were given increased depth, and our Heroes in a Halfshell continued to sky-rocket in popularity. From 1989-1992, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was one of the hottest cartoons on the planet, airing on Saturday mornings after a full hour of "Garfield and Friends," another terrific cartoon based on the comics of Jim Davis.

For me personally, Seasons Three and Four of this wonderful cartoon are my favorite. For them to finally -- FINALLY! -- be released on DVD has been a long time coming. And I could not be more thrilled that Season Four in its entirety is going to be released in one fell swoop, instead of being churned out disk by disk every spring and fall. Any seasons released after this, in my opinion, will just be icing on the cake. All I've wanted since the invention of DVD was to have Seasons Three and Four make it to this format, and it FINALLY HAPPENED!

I don't know if the "Turtle Tips" will ever see the light of day as far as bonus features go. There were only about ten of them, if I remember correctly, and they just kept getting recycled through all the seasons that aired on CBS.

I know a lot of people like the darker, grittier versions of the Turtles, but I much prefer the goofier, kid-friendly versions that this cartoon consists of. Season Four, especially, really emphasizes this fact, as some of the funniest episodes in the series are included. All of the principle characters have their moments to shine comedically, but Shredder and Krang, in particular, have some really funny moments all throughout this season, something that was sorely lacking when the show changed tone dramatically in its waning years.

March 13, 2007, cannot get here fast enough. I can't wait to see all my old friends again: Donatello, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael, and Splinter. I'm even anxious to see Shredder bicker with his live-in wife, alien warlord Krang, and his two bumbling mutants, Bebop and Rocksteady.

Just waht you would expect from the turtles. All of season 4, to go with the first 3 seasons(volumes 1-6)

Season 4 has the best episodes of the series. The last batch of syndicated episodes were the best and the first batch of saturday morning episodes. This boxset has both. Watching the special features was enjoyable too, especially Pat Fraley, the voice of Krang. I got a laugh out of how he came up with Krangs voice. Looking forward to Season 5.

I was so incredibly excited when my Season 4 boxset arrived! This was my favorite show in the 80's. These are some of my favourite episodes and I loved watching the special features with James Avery and Pat Fraley. Shredder and his live-in "wife" Krang really made the show for me and hearing the two actors talk about their characters was really cool. This is a must have for fans of the original cartoon. I am looking forward to the rest of the seasons!

To get all of season four in one boxed is totally awesome! This has to be one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Every episode is a masterpiece and it is nice to have the special features as well. Hats off to Lionsgate for releasing season four in full. The turtles are hot again coming off of an awesome movie and the re releasing of the original cartoons. Long live the turtles!!!!!

I grew up on the original series and now my son is in love with the turtles too. The 4th season is full of interesting villians and new characters. I feel nostalgic when my son wants to put on one of these D.V.D's. I am very happy I purchased this product.

Well,where to start.This is the season of the series when CBS pick it up.The are a few episodes that were only shown in Synication.It has some really memerable episodes on the Disks including the controversial episode "Rapheal Meets his Match".This is a very nice set.Brought back som great memeries.Though I wish that Mona Lisa would have made another appearance but thems the breaks.

Finally, a original series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets a season set that it so much deserved. While this is the first season I'm confused is that if the European Vacation episodes were amongst this season why are they not included in this season set of the show? This season set contains 40 episodes of the original series, which is by far more than what they were able to do with just the volume sets that they were doing prior to this release of the show. Only if they would've took the time to re-release the first three seasons in sets instead of leaving them in volumes like they are. With this season set they were able to get a couple bonus stuff into the set unlike what they were able to do with trying to do those one disc sets. Also a couple episodes missing from this set that makes this set a little hard to get while at the same time get it for the episodes. Overall with this being a better release than what was given before, I give this set 3.5 star out of 5.

This cartoon is fun for kids to watch, and brings back good memories from my younger years. It has a catchy theme song and the good guys always come out on top. Not as 'dark' as the turtle cartoons today.

I have collected The first 6 volumes of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, including Seasons Four, Five, and Six, and they were totally awesome! Many fans are worrying about the missing episodes, "Once Upon a Time Machine", and "Planet of the Turtleoids" Part 1 and Part 2, and I wish they will included as bonuses in future releases. Season 7 should be the sideseason which took place between episodes 66 and 67, while the Technodome is in Dimension X, and the season that chronologically began at where Episode 143 left off. The Technodrome is still located at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean until the last episode, when it is sent back to Dimension X. Seasons Eight, Nine and Ten each had 8 Episodes, so they have released together in one DVD Set, and include the three missing episodes. Please Lionsgate, release the last 4 Seasons, including the missing episodes!
