Every Episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 in production order

By Alex Wiggan

In 1987, animated sci-fi show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, landed onto television screens. The cartoon series – based on the comic book of the same name – followed the story of humanoid turtles, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo, and their never-ending battle with dastardly villains, Shredder and Krang.

When the show made its debut, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a HUGE hit and a ratings winner. This helped the series to remain on air for a whoppin’ ten seasons, clocking up 193 episodes in the process.

But if you missed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ’87 the first time around, or you haven’t checked it out in a while, then you are missing out on a classic. You also may not be aware of all the episodes that were produced, so could probably do with a handy episode list – just like the one set out below.

Vacation in Europe – Side season

During the seventh season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the season incorporated a collection of 13 episodes which comprised a European ‘side season’. This side season saw the turtles on vacation in Europe and is essentially known as the ‘Vacation in Europe’ season.

Although these 13 episodes aired during the seventh season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the episodes were produced BEFORE season four. However, chronologically, these episodes take place during the events of season four.

To make things as simple as possible, I’ve moved the ‘Vacation in Europe’ episodes away from season seven and have placed them straight after season four. Consider this a ‘bonus season’ of 13 episodes to watch, before moving onto season five.
