Sweet!
Yes! The complete second season of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is one of my favorites, with 13 classic episodes from the show. However, the violence was turned down a bit from the 1st season. The Turtles do not use their weapons that much, whereas they often fought with them during season 1. Also, the humor has been upped quite a bit, with some real tongue-in-cheek moments(although the original comic did notably have a few as well). But then again, not to say that was a bad thing, as that was one of the things that made this series memorable. The season starts off with Shredder's return, aided by inept inventor Baxter Stockman once more. The next 4 episodes feature a subplot of 3 alien crystals known as the "eye of Sarnath."

Just Buy It!!

This season is marked by a notable downgrade in both stories, art and in voice-acting, though the animation remains much the same. Unlike the previous season, which had a wonderful five-part storyline where each part was a complete story unto itself and yet all were integral to the evolution of the saga (as any good serial should be), this season is very episodic, featuring one isolated wacky adventure after another (much like the comic book was becoming at the time). The one exception is the "Eye of Sarnath" four-part tale.
The thin evolving story of the season's cycle simply concerns the Shredder trying to convince Krang to bring the Technodrome back to Earth to destroy Hamato and co. Instead he gets stuck with whatever crumbs (alien eggs, Bebop and Rocksteady) Krang will throw him and uses his own cunning and resoursefulness to fill in the...
