The 80s series no doubt was more comedic and goofy but, it's something many people grew up with and whether something is bad or good or cheesy, the fact it is apart of your childhood always makes a big ass difference when it comes to liking a TV show.
Like Power Rangers for example. Yes the dubbing was off, the kids dressed weird (color costume accordingly), and at times they gave us cheesy lessons. But o n the plus side they gave us great action, incredible monster fight scenes, and kick ass theme music with giant robots and a skinless bad guy on prime time TV.
Power Rangers like the 80s Turtles both have their camp to them, but it is apart of my childhood and I'll love it no matter how Shredder was depicted. I also especially loved the wide cast of VERY colorful variety of mutant bad guys and good guys the show did. I also think the 80s drawing had more detail to it.
The new show has a more smooth, rough free look to it. Where as what I loved about the 80s is they detailed the characters down to the smallest nick nack on their outfits. From the bullets on Rocksteady's shirt straps, to wrinkles and veins on Krang's body. I have never seen such detailing before.
Only one other show I grew up with had that much detail and that was the classic (but mostly forgotten) Bucky O'Hare cartoon series.
