How often did we have Turtles comics based on the then current cartoon?
The first five Archie comics were direct adaptions of the first cartoon episodes, but after that it turned into a different universe compared to the cartoon.
Dreamwaves four first comics were based on the 03 cartoon, but after that they went their own direction until it got cancelled after seven issues.
I dont follow the Nickelodeon cartoon or comic so I dont know how close it follows each others, but other than that, I cant remember any other comic based on cartoon TMNT series.

Those were basically it, IDW does the current one based on the Nickelodean cartoon. I honestly am not that familiar with the current cartoon (mostly because it is not targeted at my age group), but the comic based off of it is really bad.

Like I said the TMNT ongoing (which has nothing to do with the cartoon) is pretty decent. It takes a lot of elements from the 87 cartoon and does them in a way that fits in more with the comic universe. For example the current story line has to do with Krang (who was created in the cartoon) being tried in a galactic court for his crimes.
