I believe their mutuations manifested themselves in their preternatural fighting skills -- or perhaps the goofy stripe around their head at eye level, because otherwise they looked like normal talking turtles. Despite their names, I don't recall them as being particularly artistic.
As to how it got put on Saturday morning TV and merchandised -- no idea, but I'm sure it was at least as good as most of the other crap on at the same time. I liked "Battle of the Planets" (aka G-Force) and the cartoon with Spiderman, Ice Man, and the Fire chick with the nice cartoon tits. I'm pretty sure network TV cartoons suck now.

I briefly worked at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Magazine.
I am not making this up.
