Yup!! It only aired once in my area, in prime time. Once I found the aneurysm encodes, they had split it up into two episodes. It's been said that it aired in repats on Saturday mornings, but I know that's not true; at least in North America. I didn't see the full-length version until the DVD set came out. Part 2 isn't missing too much; some filler dialogue from Shredder and another of Herman's sabotaged weapons; plus the scene where the Turtles find the sleeping Herman in his lair leads to a rushed commercial break.

@DeletableMan: The year before "Planet of the Turlteliods aired (1990), CBS also aired the TMNT fourth season episode" The Big Cufflink Caper" in Primetime. Really enjoyed watching both of these episodes, and Planet of The Turtleliods quickly became a favorite episode of mine thanks to reruns and my eventual purchase of the fifth season on DVD. Despite never purchasing either Groundchuck or Dirtbag's action figures as a child, I am sure that I would have enjoyed playing with them. Especially since unlike many of the other characters whom only got one appearance because their action figure was in stores, these guys appeared twice in the cartoon and made several appearances in the video games. Really hope that they do show up eventually in the Saturday Morning Adventures comic books, since many other forgotten characters from the classic cartoon have returned in its pages.
