With TMNT having down time as we watch every piece of news coming out from Nickelodeon and IDW for something new, it’s good to see spoofs of the Turtles on the air to give us all something to enjoy.  Recently on Cartoon Network their Mad TV cartoon did it’s own spoof on TMNT mixed with TMZ, calling it TMNTMZ TV.

Since October 2009, when the news was released that Viacom bought the Turtles.  Fans have been watching more and more of the stuff we know of Mirage disappear.  With the official Turtle website now down for maintenance, the Mirage comics closing down, the few workers still with Mirage only being there a few days a week to handle the orders that come in for their back stock, and now a good bye on their Facebook page.

In this episode I tell how I got on the set of "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" back in 1997! For anyone who wants to see video footage from that visit please check out Cowabunga Corner #15 from Season 1.

In the last week Turtle fans have been hit with a lot of news a select group of fans was chosen to go to Nickelodeon to have a sneak peek at the Mutation in Progress itself.  They were treated with hotel, food and even gifts from Nickelodeon.  These lucky people got to share their feedback on what they thought of the things that were shown to them.  Now, some of them are sharing their stories with the rest of the fans.

In this episode we go back to August 23rd, 1992, PortsMouth, NH for the only Official Turtle Con, hosted by Mirage Studios and Great Eastern Conventions in Association with Pro Portsmouth, INC. At only $3 a ticket, lasting from 10am to 4pm there was a day full of events. We have some of those events on video.

In this episode I share memories of the Words & Pictures Museum. Cowabunga Corner #5 & #20 focused on the opening and closing of this museum. Here I talk about how I found the Museum and some memories I have. The Words & Pictures Museum has always meant a lot to me and I miss it.
