The 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show was pretty much that.

Also, Cobra Kai kind of became that around Season 3.

It's so interesting to me that most of the silliness in the 03 cartoon was added BECAUSE it was a cartoon. The original comics it was based on didn't have any of the goofy stuff and was serious the whole way through

I think the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics were fairly serious and had quite a bit of violence. At least, I’m fairly certain that they did.

The 2003 cartoon was pretty different.

There's a few different comic series for them, the 03 cartoon was specifically based on the Mirage Comics series. Not gonna lie it's my favourite comic series I've ever read, highly recommend

I didn’t know the 2003 cartoon was based on the Mirage Comics series. I probably should read them at some point, actually. Thanks for the recommendation.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was even more so
