The first and so far{{when}} only live-action tv series starring the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], produced by [[Saban Entertainment]] and [[Toei]] Company. [[Short Runners|It lasted from September 12, 1997 to March 20, 1998]]. While supposedly taking place after the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|1987 cartoon series]], in reality, it follows the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|live-action film continuity]]. Confused yet?
 
The series begins with some familiarity: The four iconic anthropomorphic reptiles do battle with the Foot Clan and its leader, the Shredder. The turtles' master, Splinter still aids his sons with advice, and Leonardo and Raphael bicker amongst themselves. Suddenly, Splinter's spirit is rat-napped by an army of dragon warriors called the Rank. Led by their ill-tempered dictator, the Dragon Lord, the Rank ruled the world before they were banished to the Realm of Dreams by a mystic mirror. Splinter's friend, Chung I., a Shinobi master from China, was killed by the Rank, but not before telling his apprentice Mei Pieh Chi of her origins.
