** Had a new season of ''Fast Forward'' emerged, there would have been a Triceraton Shredder called the "[[http://tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/TriShreddatron TriShreddertron]]". Concept art was eventually shown, and Peter Laird confirmed that he would have been Ch'rell taking over the body of a Triceraton soldier.

** The three different pitches for the seventh season that were proposed before "Back to the Sewer began production".
*** 4Kids first pitched a season called "Superworld" which involved the Turtles playing some kind of card game.
*** After that pitch was rejected, 4Kids suggested "TMNT: Overload", which would have had the Turtles return to their own time after the events of Fast Forward, but have their younger selves come with them due to a glitch in the time travel process. Mirage approved of this development, but Playmates did not.
*** In lieu of "Overload", Playmates proposed a pitch for a ContinuityReboot called "Ultimate TMNT", which was planned to combine the 2003 universe with the continuity of the live-action films and feature characters from the [[{{WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987}} 1987 cartoon]] and the [[{{ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesAdventures}} Archie comic series]]. Eventually, "Ultimate TMNT" was rejected and "TMNT: Overload" was revised into what became "Back to the Sewer"

* ExecutiveMeddling: As mentioned on the introduction, the 5th season got skipped in favor of the Fast Forward season. This caused the 4th season to end in a cliffhanger for some time.



** Given the inconsistencies in the way the series was distributed on DVD in the US, several bits are available only in inconvenient, out-of-print bits (season 3 and the first half of season 4), available in incomplete forms (''TurtlesForever''), or not available at all (''Back to the Sewer'').

* MissingEpisode: "Insane in the Membrane", which wasn't aired because ''Fox'' found it too intense for Saturday Morning cartoons. Also the entire fifth season was this, although it was eventually aired and billed as a series of "lost episodes".
* TheOtherDarrin: Several characters eventually get recast, most notably Leatherhead (F.B. Owens to Gary Lewis).
* RecursiveAdaptation: The series spawned a short-lived comic book adaptation.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The different rejected pitches for season 7 of the 2003 'toon, from ''Fast Forward'' season 2 to "Superworld". Concept art for these rejected series are now being released on [[http://www.4kids.tv/show/tmnt-back-to-the-sewer/blog/special-feature-same-as-it-never-was-part-1 4Kids' ''TMNT'' blog]]. There's also "Nightmares Recycled", a season 5 episode that was planned but scrapped due to objections from standards and practices.
** And apparently, had there been another ''Back to the Sewers'' season, they would have started a "Shredder Wars Arc", where it would answer [[spoiler:how the fight between the Utrom, Demon, and Cyber Shredders got into their fight in the first place]]; this plan seemed to have been discarded in favor of ''TurtlesForever''.
** The "Nightmare Recycled" episode would have revealed that The Garbageman and Hun were born as conjoined twins, separated at birth by a seedy, back-alley surgeon; the baby that would later become Garbageman was thrown in the trash, whereas Hun was kept and raised. 4Kids, not surprisingly, felt that this was not [[IncrediblyLamePun for kids]], and scrapped the episode before it could be completed.
** Had a new season of ''Fast Forward'' emerged, there would have been a Triceraton Shredder called the "[[http://tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/TriShreddatron TriShreddertron]]".

* AuthorExistenceFailure: In the Mexican Spanish dub, Leonardo's voice actor (Enrique Mederos) died in almost the beginning of the series and he's replaced by Luis Daniel Ramirez. The funniest thing in the recasting is Mederos voiced previously [[CardCaptorSakura Fujitaka Kinomoto]] and Luis Daniel Ramirez voiced his son, Touya.
