"Turtles", actually, not "Babies".  And it was a comic book first (and
many feel it a fine one), not a toy.  The toy set is a spinoff of the
comic, like the cartoons are.  (I suppose that since "Peanuts" begat
Snoopy dolls as well as the Charlie Brown specials, the shows are
program-length commercials?)

I object to program-length commercials a lot.  But try not to see them
where they're not.
