Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Show generally

Character mistake: Throughout the entire series, the Turtles are referred to, by others and by themselves, as amphibians. But turtles are reptiles, not amphibians. However they are amphibious, amphibious reptiles.

Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X - S1-E4

Other mistake: General Traag's weather weapon causes a blizzard across the city, yet when the Turtles and the Neutrinos come up to the surface after the blizzard had been occurring for a while, none of the cars parked on the street, including the Neutrinos' two flying convertibles, are covered in snow. The interior of their cars should have been full of snow.

April's Fool - S3-E11

Other mistake: The turtles are racing to save April, who is kidnapped by Shredder, and trying to get to the roof. They run into a squad of the royal guards and one of the guards shouts: "Halt! Hands in the air or we'll open fire!" Now, I would like to see that because every one of the guards is holding a sword. (00:14:00)

The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12

Plot hole: April is transformed into a Catwoman by a teleportation accident. Shredder puts a mind control collar on her, and she attacks the turtles. The turtles manage to remove the collar, and the fight ends. Shortly afterwards, April returns to her normal form, without any explanation.

Invasion of the Punk Frogs - S2-E8

Plot hole: Shredder meets the frogs for the first time and gives them clothes using the holographic projector. The frogs continue to wear the same clothes for the rest of the episode, even without Shredder being around.

Suggested correction: This is simply wrong. If a month starts on a Thursday, the first Tuesday will be the 6th, and the second will be the 13th.

I messed up the wording on this. The calendar in question literally shows the 13th as being the second Tuesday in the calendar grid format (i.e. there is one row indicating a week above). The 13th should be placed in the third row in this manner.

Rocksteady: Oooh, shiver me timbers.
Bebop: And while you're at it, shiver mine also.

Show generally

Question: In this show and in the 90's movies, the Turtles absolutely love pizza. Though this was not hit on in the 00's show. Was their love of pizza created for the 80's show, or did they have that in the original comics as well?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: The Turtles' pizza obsession was not in the original comics, which were far more adult in the violence and language they contained. Peter Laird, one of the comic's creators was critical of this aspect on his blog in 2012, saying if he had control over the 80s cartoon's creative direction, the Turtles "would not have been so ridiculously obsessed with pizza".
