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." The Turtles and Shredder race to collect them each, but the 3 crystals wind up causing all sorts of mayhem, from bringing machines to life to creating insane killer plant monsters, and the Turtles must deal with the havoc. "Case of the Killer Pizzas" is the classic episode with those monster meatballs monsters, and boy are they ugly. The Turtles have to reluctantly team up with Shredder when the creatures get too out of hand. Bebop and Rocksteady return in "Enter: The Fly," when Shredder poisons April, in an attempt to take the Turtles out when they try to retrieve the antidote. Things go from bad to worse when Baxter is merged with a fly and attempts to take both groups out. "Splinter No More," sees Splinter become Hamato Yoshi again! The Turtles wind up chasing Shredder again, but he leaves a little trap that ends up turning them against each other! The Neutrinos come back in "Teenagers from Dimension X," and those frogs make their first appearance in "Invasion of the Punk Frogs." "New York's Shiniest" is a hilarious episode in which the Turtles meet a cybernetic cop, REX-1. April gets her genes merged with a cat, "The Fly" style, in "Catwoman From Channel Six." In that episode, Irma also meets the Turtles for the first time. The final episode is "Return of the Technodrome," a great episode in which the Technodrome returns to Earth! These are some excellent episodes, some I haven't seen in a long time! April 26th is going to be a great day!
