Place holder…kind of

I’ve finally figured out how to play that damn 1989 X-Men computer came Madness in Murderworld and am working on the next X-Men in Video Games entry, but I’ve found myself incredibly busy this morning, so for now enjoy this picture of Jim Henson with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I’ll get back to you.

The tale of the Girl Turtle

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have a pretty familiar supporting cast of characters.  Of course, we all know the four brothers – Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael – but just as well we know Splinter, their rat father-figure, Casey Jones, the hockey masked best friend, and April O’Neil, the reporter hottie in the yellow jumpsuit.

However, in 1997 when Fox Kids launched the live-action Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, it was felt that things should be shaken up.  Meant to be a continuation of the movie franchise, strangely enough nowhere to be found were Casey or April.  In their place, we got this:

Quit staring at her shell boobs.

This abomination new character was Venus de Milo, adding the much-needed sex appeal to a show lacking the classic April O’Neil.  And seriously, if you think that this thing is sexier than April, you have issues.  And you need to stay away from Muppets.
