They started last week with the begining of the four-part "Big Brawl" saga featuring Usagi Yojimbo, now the upcoming episodes beyond have been revealed. If you don't want to be semi-spoiled about the plots, stop reading.

53. "The Christmas Aliens" -- It's Christmas time in the city. A number of guests have been invited to the lair for a big holiday feast. But, where's Michelangelo? Well, he's out playing Santa Claus... a butt-kicking, hard-driving Santa who's trying to save a truckload of toys destined for an orphanage from the hands of some bloodthirsty thieves. The only problem is, who's going to save Mikey from the bloodthirsty thieves? (NOTE TO ALL TURTLE-HEADS: This episode will air during the holiday season and will not lead off season three).

54. "Space Invaders" Part One -- Guess who's comin' to Earth? Well, I'll give you a hint: they're big, they're bad, and they've got three horns on their heads! And they've come to Earth looking for a certain robotic fugitive! Unfortunately, no one on Earth knows what the heck the big horn heads are talking about! Meanwhile, the boys must save their captured friends from the possibility of a mind-destroying alien brain-scan! Overall, things aren't looking too promising for our hapless heroes... or the human race!

55. "Space Invaders" Part Two -- The Turtles have managed to save some innocent bystanders, but it's cost them one of their own! As ruthless Prime Leader Zanramon prepares to interrogate his new Turtle prisoner with the fearsome mind-ripping alien brain scanner, the remaining brothers have to find a way to infiltrate the Triceraton Homeworld and mount a daring outer-space rescue mission. Can you say "impossible task"?

56. "Space Invaders" Part Three -- Searching for their captured brother, the Turtles sneak their way into Republic Central, the hub of the Triceraton Homeworld... and run into some unexpected allies! The Triceratons, meanwhile, have set a new ultimatum to the people of Earth: deliver the Fugitoid in one hour or the entire island of Manhattan will be ripped free from the planet and taken apart bit by bit. Will our heroes bust their brother out? And if they do, will there be a home left for them to return to?

57. "Worlds Collide" Part One -- Our out-of-this-world heroes return from their spacefaring adventure only to find another intergalactic visitor awaiting their return. And he's unwittingly brought trouble along with him! Normally the Turtles would be happy to see him, but this time... well, his timing stinks! Now, before the exiting Triceratons' realize who's come back, the Turtles must play "hide-the-space-guest", and it promises to be a very deadly game.

58. "Worlds Collide" Part Two -- Just when our four Turtles thought they had fooled the Triceratons and disguised their surprise space guest, they find themselves captives of the sinister Agent Bishop, who has his own mysterious agenda. Meanwhile, with his sons missing, Master Splinter quickly assembles what allies he can gather into a makeshift commando rescue squad! It's time to kick butt... Splinter style!

59. "Worlds Collide" Part Three -- At a secret government military base, the Turtles and company learn that there's more to Agent Bishop than meets the eye. To make matters worse, it seems that Bishop has allied himself with another major player in intergalactic affairs. Amidst space battles, computer viruses and a major rebellion, the Turtles just may have found a way to put and end to these crazy star wars. There is, however, a terrible price to pay...!

60. "Touch and Go" -- The Turtles find that adjusting to their post-invasion lives might be
harder than they thought. They've a new houseguest to contend with, the city is a shambles, strewn with dangerous debris and arms from various alien battles, and a deadly arch enemy has found his way back to the Big Apple, intent on gathering up as much of the wrecked alien technology as possible. To make sure our green heroes don't compromise his new NYC operations, a pair of super-powered hitmen has been hired to take care of the "Turtle problem" once and for all.

I remember watching one of these new episodes about a year ago or so. It just wasn't the same as back in the day. I'll leave the show to my memories, file it under 'nostalgia', and nothing more, thank you very much.

You cant really compare the two, the older series was more focused on comedy than action, where as the new one supposedly follows the comics much more closely and is more dramatic.

and both shows were aimed at 8 years old boys. We might not be in the target demographic, anymore. Rewatch the old shows with an older eye, and yeah, they were pretty shitty too.

The new shows are great. I don't think I'd really like the old ones as much as I did in my younger days, but I was always a fan of the (Mirage) comics too.

Big Brawl didn't start today. The summer began with the first part of it. Today's was part two. I have it recorded and ready to torrent, but I won't be home for a while.

I also recorded F-Zero GP Legend. They're both about 75MB and ready for viewin'!

I haven't followed the new series too closely, but let me say that the new design of April is terrible. I don't why they had to change her to such a degree. Casey Jones looks awesome as always though. You'd have to be truly talentless to mess him up. Casey Forever!! :)

I used to really like the old show as a kid. Actually, I loved the first few episodes, and thought the later ones were just passable. The new show completely kills the old one in every way.

The way they toned down the violence on the old show always annoyed me. They eventually took away Mike's nunchuks, and the Turtles really hardly fought at all. They'd just trap a foe in a stack of tires, or knock boxes or some other crap on them. Raphael was also pretty witty and amusing in the first few episodes, but not afterwards.

I'm very nostalgic about TMNT also, but it's hard not to appreciate how much better this show is. The writing(humor and drama), the fighting and everything else is just great. Although, I agree about what was said about April. I liked her old look a helluva lot more in the old show.

I can't wait for this one :D It's one of my favorite comics from the series. Hopefully they'll introduce Mikey's cat (Klunk) and he'll be a perminant part of the new show.

Agreed...the original five episodes from the old series still hold up for me (they're available on DVD), but the show quite frankly went to shit from episode 6 on with the violence and sharp wit all but eradicated. The new series just wipes the floor with the old one.
 
I'm really suprised at how well the new series has turned out so far. I don't think anyone expected it to be better then the 80's/90s version. Just take a look at the new Transformers for example. I've only caught about half the first season of the new one but i've quite enjoyed it. There was one episode that was a complete rehash of an old episode where Donatello has that magic pencil with the crystal on it. Has there been any other new episodes that used old story lines?

And Raphael kicks ass :D I really like his new voice too. For some reason with TMNT the turtles have been through so many different voice actors but they always sounded good and not out of place compared to the older ones whereas take something like the voice actors for the Warner Bros characters like Bugs Bunny and they don't hold a candle to the old voice actors.

I expected it, for the simple reason that the violent content of kids shows that so shook the walls of parent groups 15 years ago is common place now (hell people die in some of these shows, and nobodoy bats an eye anymore). And I figured the new cartoon with have a more serious slant, seeing how successful Batman and the related shows have been. So I'm not surprised at all.
