The series is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books. These characters were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The TV show helped make the Turtles super famous around the world.
The Show's Big Success
This TV show became one of the most popular animated series ever. Because it was so loved, you could find the Turtles everywhere! There were breakfast cereals, plush toys, and many other products with the characters. These items were very popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
IGN, a well-known entertainment website, ranked the show as the 55th best animated TV show of all time. In some European countries, like the UK, the show was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. This was because of concerns about the word "Ninja" at the time.
