Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Fast Forward season originally aired between July 29, 2006 and October 27, 2007, beginning with the "Future Shellshock" episode.cite web |url=http://www.ninjaturtles.com/cartoon/newsynopses06.htm |title=TMNT Season 6 on Official Site |accessdate=2008-02-20 |publisher=ninjaturtles.com] .

This season mostly takes place in 2105 New York City, with plots such as Sh’Okanabo’s attempts to unleash the "Day of Awakening"; the Turtles’ attempts to expose Darius Dun’s criminal activities, and to return to their own time; and Cody Jones’ growth. Due to the multispecies population of the future, the Turtles are now free to move about openly and interact with everyday people. The season is lighter in tone and less violent than previous ones, with a greater emphasis on jokes.

This season was originally going to air a year later, however to try to increase interest in the series, 4Kids and Fox started airing this season a year earlier instead of the "Ninja Tribunal" season. So this season became the fifth season to air on commercial television; even though, it was the sixth season. After the scheduling change was made, Mirage and its partners decided to finish production on the "Ninja Tribunal" episodes and release them directly to DVD. 4Kids Entertainment later signed a deal with Comcast and this season began airing on Comcast-On-Demand in August of 2006. Thus mass confusion has ensued regarding which season is officially season five and which is season six. Chronologically this season comes after the "Ninja Tribunal" season.

The episodes were released in partial season sets, volume 1, named "TMNT Fast Forward: Future Shellshock!", was released on February 6, 2007 which had the first 13 episodes, and volume 2, named "TMNT Fast Forward: Day of the Awakening", was released on August 7, 2007, this had the final 13 episodes of the season.
