Why in Database: We found turtle elements, mainly in form of verbal references, in nine episodes of this series:
Season two, episode fifteen (Cooter) – turtle is mentioned in the dialogue, one character says that part of his nickname, cooter, he got because he looks like a turtle (and the word is the name of one species of turtle). In another scene, on the door behind one of the characters, you can see a drawing of a turtle.

– He gave you two nicknames?
– “Cooter” because I look like a turtle and “berger” because he saw me eating a hamburger one time.


Season four, episode six (Sun Tea) – mentioned in the dialogue, comparison to a turtle that has lost its shell.

– Don’t talk to me like that. You look like a turtle who lost its shell.


Season five, episode six (Gentleman’s Intermission) – A turtle is mentioned during the end credits, a character pretending to be someone else says she saw a turtle.

– Hi, I’m Daphne Donaghy. I saw a turtle!


Season five, episode thirteen (Qué Sorpresa!) – a turtle is mentioned.

– One time, I saw a turtle…


Season six, episode three (Idiots Are People Three!) – A verbal reference to the Entourage series is made and the name/ nickname of one of the characters is chanted.

Season six, episode five (Today You Are a Man No) – there is a reference to the Wonder Pets series and the turtle from this show.

– You watch the Wonder Pets on Nick Jr.? I represent the turtle that tuck is based on.


Season six, episode nine (Leap Day) – a turtle is mentioned in the dialogue.

– Thad’s been in his little nerd world for so long and now he’s peeping out of his shell like a… um, oh, what’s that animal? You know, the one that crosses so slowly across the road and then you swerve to make sure you hit it and then a car coming the other way swerves to avoid you and goes off a cliff. And then that night you and your companion have the greatest sex of your lives because you’re both sharing a secret.
– It’s a turtle, Jenna.
– Yes, he’s a turtle. And he’s coming out of his shell for the first time. And when he does, he’s gonna see this.


Season seven, episode three (Stride of Pride) – Squirtle, one of the Turtle Pokemon is mentioned.

I have to break it off with a woman I’m seeing. I found out I’m just an aging Squirtle in her Pokemon.

– Well, can I get you anything… Chickpeas, moonshine, turtle meat? I’m good.

Malcolm in the Middle

Title: Malcolm in the Middle
Year: 2000-2006
Actors: Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson
Genre: Comedy, Family
Country: USA
Viewing method: Selected episodes

Why in Database: Turtles appears in this series in several forms. First, in opening there is an excerpt from the movie One Million Years B.C., with turtle – and of course the opening appear before all episodes.

Another form is plush Squirtle, one of the Pokemon. We spotted him in season two, episode eight (Therapy), sitting behind the main character. In episode 10 (The Bully) you can see him in the background, behind the brother of the main character (you can also see another Pokemon, Charmander), in episode 20 (Bowling) you can probably also see him on the floor of the room and lying on the bed. He also appears in the fourth season, in the twenty-second episode (Day Care) – the title character’s brother uses him as a pillow. We do not exclude that this list is incomplete and there are more episodes in which this plush toy appears.

The other three cases we found were one TMNT toy and two mentions in dialogues.

In the seventh episode of the third season (Christmas) one of the cahracters, Francis discovers grandmother’s hiding place full of Christmas presents that she never gave, one of these gifts is a Ninja turtle figurine, Donatello.

– Donatello with pizza-throwing action ?!

Also in the third season, in Episode 16 (Hal Coaches), there is the usual mention that one character have a turtle.

– Hey, you didn’t see the look on her face. I’m kind of scared to even go into work tomorrow. You know, she does have a turtle.

In the thirteenth episode of season six (Tiki Lounge) the main adult characters exchange informations, Lois says she had a turtle named Lee Majors from whom her family contracted salmonella.

– Think, Lois. I want to know everything.
– I had a pet turtle named Lee Majors. He gave my whole family salmonella.
– I thought I loved you four seconds ago.

Music – Pokemon

While in the case of notes about TMNT’s music the situation is simpler, and virtually all music albums have some turtle elements, the situation here is more complicated – because in Pokemon, there is a huge number of characters, only a few of them are turtles. There are a lot of Pokemon music releases, some are soundtracks from games, movies, anime series – although they do not necessarily have poke-turtle elements on the cover or in the text layer, they come from works in which such pokemon appears. Here, however, we only present those cases in which there is clearly a turtle element on the cover or in the text.

First, some covers of albums that came out in English:


The second group are albums that were released only in Japan:


The next two covers do not include the turtle in the picture, but have them in the text.
On the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master there is a PokéRAP track, it lists all the first generation Pokémon, including Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise.
On the Pokémon Christmas Bash CD, there is a track with the same title as the album’s name, and several times there is a line where Squirtle says Squi-Squi-Squirtle!


The last cover is a curiosity, an album with poke music, released in the French-speaking part of Canada, of course in French.


Not for Resale

Director: Kevin J. James
Cast: Frank Cifaldi, Pat Contri, Jeremy Dunham, Ian Ferguson, Dave Hagewood, John Hancock, Kelsey Lewin, Greg Miller, Andrea Rene, James Rolfe, Joe Santulli

Why in Database: A film about videogame stores, so there were also various turtle elements.

Pokemon Blue game with Blastois is also visible later), Mario (stuffed animals and turtle-related prints) and Ninja Turtles (game CD and a fragment of a box).
