Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. Join us this week as we discuss all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on the 30th anniversary of these Heroes In A Half-shell. We talk to Evan Daugherty, screenwriter for the new Michael Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles blockbuster reboot**, and to Randall Lobb, the writer and director of Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , and of course we once again realize that we’re all getting older and older.

**We’re celebrating the Blu-Ray release of our favorite Turtles’ latest big screen incarnation with an encore presentation of this episode, in addition to a chance to win your very own copy PLUS four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Masks! All you have to do is email us at [email protected] with a list of as many cartoon titles that you can recognize from our opening credits theme (at least four correct needed to qualify), so just click play and feel the Turtle Power take over…

In the spring of 1984, a strange new comic book sat beside cash registers in select shops, too big to fit in the racks, and too weird to ignore. Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presented a completely original breed of super hero. It was too bizarre, too crazy. It broke all the rules and should never have worked. Until it sold out. Again and again and again. For 30 years. Now, peek under the shell and see how this so-called “happy accident” defied every naysayer to become one of the most popular and beloved franchises in the world.
