@Fogs - Unlikely. Most shows are always remembered for the original even if the original was bad.
The original Power Rangers and TMNT cartoon were both pretty bad but almost everyone remembers those over the reboots.
The only reboot I can remember recently that became more popular and known then the original is MLP

@shadowspider9 - The original TMNT was amazing. It's the reboots that suck, except the Nickelodeon one. The writing on that was very impressive. Power Rangers Green with Evil arc was amazing, as well. It's only bad, because you got older and can't enjoy it anymore. Hint, don't try to watch the original Transformers (not the movie) or Thundercats. Just don't.

@shadowspider9 - I tried to watch re-watch Batman. Several times. Couldn't do it. You got me with X-Men, but I love Marvel, so there might be a bias. As for Power Rangers, I was referring ONLY to the Green with Evil episode, which you agree with. When have the cartoon Turtles EVER used their weapons on non-robots?

Also, all of your criticisms are adult criticisms. "Low budget," "plot," "animation error." These are not things children say or even think of.

@Luminus - TMNT 2012. They use there weapons against non robot opponents all the time. Same with the 2003 cartoon. The rule with weapons is it's ok so long as you don't show red blood. Meaning they can use there weapons against robots, aliens, to destroy weapons and objects. Just as long as they don't cut humans.
But the 87 show didn't even do that even though they establish right out of the gate the foot are robots.

Low budget, bad plot and animation error are important because they affect the show's ability to last and how it's remembered.
Few remember the 87 turtles as something good. They remember it as something that was very popular but embarrassingly bad. Just about every new incarnation goes out of it's way to make fun of how bad it was.

If 03 turtles hadn't gone as dark as it did and had simply done the same weirdness of the 87 show I'm not sure it would have lasted. In fact the 87 shows rating tanked after Power Rangers came along and stole it's thunder and they tried to save it by making the last two seasons it a lot darker

It also wouldn't say Loony Toons trends toward adults. Loony Toons is a generational thing you can enjoy at any age. I watched it a ton as a kid and still enjoy it today. Same for my dad. He grew up on it and still find it funny.

That's really the difference between something like the 87 TMNT and something like Loony Toons. Both are over the top somewhat mindless humor but Loony Toons holds up 70 years later. 87 turtles does not.

@Luminus - Fans also almost unanimous agree the worst thing about Turtles Forever was the representation of the 87 turtles. Who were treated like jokes.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I feel you about the animation style, but it looks like it may look sweet in action sequences. I'm ready to check it out...

@KoolerThanJesus - Seems like She-Ra was the American answer to Japanese 'magical girl' anime/manga.

@AnthonyVonGeek - Don't jump to any conclusions just yet. For all we know, they could be taking the approach of Supergirl.
