Funny thing is, female ninja turtles are making a comeback - see Jennika (though she was originally human and an established character in the comics). Also, Venus is returning, though with a rather interesting new angle as a Frankenstein's Monster type-deal with a dragon scale in her shell.
Y'know, with the simple application of some body paint, that tentacle would look VERY much like a delicious slice of pizza to be licked and nibbled on.
Can't blame you Jo. I remember my brothers calling the Saban TMNT show "The worst". Part of that was that any live action adaptation after the first movie was off. Part of it was bad writers.
