80s turtles were a saturday morning cartoon for children, it wasn't trying to be "hard" with shit like WHAT THE SHELL or be a nearly full on adaption of the poorly written original. The 80s turtles took the basic concepts, characters, and plot lines and made something for children out of them. Certain limitations dragged the show down, but at its core it was a purer show than the product that was the 2003 series which tried way too hard at being hard.
