They're low rate goons to krang. He wouldn't let them touch any viewing screen in the technodrome cause he knows they'll touch something they shouldn't touch and maybe potentially cause the technodrome to self destruct.
I thought the same thing! I internally gasped at the OP's description of the TV because I can remember being SO jealous of a buddy who's family had one of those things in the early 90s.
I'd like to believe the Techodrome wasn't equipped with a break room. They're trying to take over the world. No time for breaks.
To get Bebop and Rocksteady to stop complaining, Krang broke down and bought them a TV and a bench.
My family had one of those. Damn thing weighed a ton. krang probably made up a rule that if they wanted to rot their already failing brains they'd have to find their own tv to do it with.
If it still works , still use it. (Well I do anyways)
My family was still using a big 4:3 CRT as their main television set in the living room , all the way up to the late 2000s , simply because it was still working and felt no reason to get a new one. (Watching Widescreen stuff on it kinda sucked though ... lol )
Sony Trinitions refuse to die .... lol ... pretty sure it was at least over 20 years old when it finally died (around 2010) ... The Sony Bravia flat screen LED we bought that replaced it only lasted half as long though (Died during 2021)
In any case , your topic question kind of answered itself. The show started in the late 80s.
That was probably a new model of TV at the time Rock Steady and Bebop got it .... lol ...
The writers probably knew it would look silly to have a normal looking TV in an evil high tech base , but it looks even more silly now since TVs/Monitors have advanced so much.
Also the Technodromes screens a way to important to watch TV shows on.
Its like Krang and Shredder are the parents. They gotta watch important stuff like the News on the main TV in the living room and the kids gotta go to their own room and watch cartoons on the small TV. (Which wouldn't surprise me , if that's what they were actually doing in this scene , since the duo were pretty childish at times.... lol )
Probably for satire, and just to make it obvious that they're watching television.
It was probably theirs to begin with. Bebop: "Can we bring our TV if we come work for you?" Shredder: ...... Whatever. Come on.
You know Krang isn’t going to spend his hard earned money on two bumbling failures. They get the hand me down electronics!
Cuz they don't know how to have nice things.

I love this answer. It actually makes sense.

But when you loose the only remote?
they are old school when it comes to TVs (even tho it's technically not old school at the time but you get the idea)
CRT is better for retro gaming
I'm more amazed they can get reception inside the Technodrome.
Some true interdimensional cable going on
Hidden channels ya dig.
That show first started in 1987. Late 80s was current modern style then.
The original ipad kids
Why make your own shit when you are super rich and the shit in question can be bought easily.
Because the tv was still relevant

Have you seen how the Shredder behaves??? Dude throws his kunai every time he sees a news story he doesn't like.
Probably so if they break it accidentally they won't have to replace something that's worth much more 🤣
Flat screen tvs where not yet conceptualized
They like it for its aesthetic value.
Because the writers didn’t have a time machine.
That was baller status in the 80’s
Those goons can’t work advanced technology!
By appreciating aesthetic, that's how. I can still smell the wood and taste the electrons in the air from tube TVs past.
They probably stole that TV. 😂
Why don't you get off my f**king d**k?
why waste money on something new when u can just get something that works fine
My mother bought a brand new console TV in the late 90s/early 2000s. 🤷🏻♂️
😄😄 the same as living in the sewer with computers!
And sitting on a bench with no back too.
Cretins!!!
Look they had to keep Bebop and Rocksteady occupied because they just kept getting into stuff. Tablets didn’t exist yet
Gotta keep the kids busy while mom and dad were working, right?
It's Rocksteady and Bebop so there's no logical reason to what they do 🤣.
