Power rangers

[Caveman]

Being a child of... I forget, This show blew me away with what seemed great action and fx. Also who could forget dear old Bulk and Skull. Being older it still is fun to look back on and see how different it looks. It may look silly and cheap in the eyes of adults but to a child it just felt great. There wasn't much of a long plot going on which made it good as if you missed an episode it didn't matter, but saying that the zord changes were good and it made the show more interesting. When will people learn that a young child doesn't care much for plots, that has to wait for when they are a little older. Saddly when they made the zeo series, it would just never be the same. The new series tried too hard. Even as a child I never liked them. Maybe it was the new suits, I mean who designed them? And power rangers in space? It may have appealed to others but I think they should have stayed where they were. Simple enemies that would use the same techniques over and over. Make a monster that starts human size and then grow. And you knew that when they grow the show would almost be over. Oh and I must be dumb to forget the theme tune. I've check and they never made a slightly good theme tune again until this so call wild force series. This show was indeed a classic and I demand they stop making new ones and show the original again for the new generation.

I can't believe I watched this!

I'm ashamed. I was young and foolish to be pulled in by this show. Looking back on it now I realise what a load of rubbish it is! The acting is so lame and cheesy and OH MY GOD!!! And did you ever notice that they did the exact same thing in very episode, but with a few substitutions made?

Typical Script -

Scene 1: Power Rangers doing something wholesome and good like homework or building a youth centre.

Scene 2: The bad guy is plotting to destroy the city and wondering how to do it.

BAD GUY WITH CHEESY NAME I know I'll create a monster, but while I'm busy doing that I'll send the Putty Patrol to deal with the Power Rangers.

Scene 3: The wholesomeness is interrupted by the Putty Patrol. The Power Rangers kick bottom then decide to go see Zordon (who happens to be this big head in a jar) because something's not quite right here.

Scene 4: Zordon says stuff, whilst Alpha makes stupid noises.

Scene 5: Monster attacks city.

Scene 6: Morphing time! Takes up about 10 minutes of screen time ...

BLACK RANGER "I'm the hip-hop, all dancing, unlucky-in-love, token black guy of the group ... MASTADON!" (Hey isn't that the name of a heavy metal band?)

PINK RANGER "I'm the girlie, cute one who not-so-secretly fancies the green/white guy. He looks hot in all that Lycra! I get to do all the screaming and I always get captured by the bad guy. Why the heck am I Power Ranger in the first place? ... PTERODAYTL!"

BLUE RANGER "I'm a geek. I talk like a computer ... TRICERTOPS!"

YELLOW RANGER "I'm the token Asian ranger. My only other function is to provide a translator for the geeky one and a shopping buddy for the pink ranger. I hate my life ... SABRE-TOOTHED TIGER!"

RED RANGER "I'm the leader of the Power Rangers. I used to be cool until this green/white ranger came along. Grrr ... TYRANNOSAURUS!"

GREEN/WHITE RANGER "I'm the super powerful Power Ranger who makes the other characters look rubbish. I'm not the leader of the Power Rangers, but I should be because the kids love me ... DRAGONZORD/WHITE TIGER"

Scene 7: Power Rangers fight monster and beat it back for a few seconds using their weapons and some well choreographed arm movements.

Scene 8: The monster grows big with help of bad guy. It's magic!

Scene 9: Get the Zords out! Connect them all together to form a Megazord. (Does anyone else think that they stole that bit from Transformers?) This takes another 10 minutes of screen time.

Scene 10: A little sword fight with the monster. The poor monster has no chance! The monster is defeated, and the bad guy is rather angry because they've lost ... again.

Scene 11: Everything is back to normal and everyone learns a valuable lesson.

*End credits and cheesy theme music*

For a show that lasts 25 minutes, they've done well to cram all the plot into 5 minutes in 30 second bursts throughout the show. To think that something so cheesy and lame as this caused the downfall of Biker Mice From Mars - it's depressing!

ROFL! The guy describing the scenes was gold.

I'd hit the Pink ranger. :)

Blame the Japanese, it was their show first.

[Jodacs]

And if the series wasnt bad enough, they made a damned powerrangers movie aswell, likely by that time i had matured enough to realise power rangers was the biggest load of horseshit out.
Curse my young eyes...

[Twistedgremlin]

Lol, why? I didn't saw a japanese version before.

[CardinalFang]

I'm just surprised it's still on. How long has it been? 12? 13 years?

[NightJman]

Tottaly (Im James by the way Im new) I mean the frist episodes were classics and they just taught good values. Now it pokemon... and that is really boring. but Power rangers will live forever!

Also Blue was the most kickin one of them all even if he was a dork.

Always reminded me more of Voltron, there iare people inside the machines in that one as well. Transformers pure machine with no retarded human pilot, well they do have a faggy human with a VW.

I was obsessed with Power Rangers as a child. I remember I wanted one of those watches that they had that were like walkie talkies, but they didn't exist back then, they do now though. That show made kids violent (me included)

[mrdurgan]

i watched it recently and noticed while they fight the 'monster' all the other bad guys in the backround are just pointlessly prancing around for no apparent reason! funniest kids program ever!

[CaptainPotato]

Typical Teenagers: Hey guys, lets all go to our hiding place and FUCK!

Powerangers: Hey guys, lets all go to our hiding place and STUDY!

You know its true ;D

They do the same thing in kungfu movies, Jackie Chan's do that all the time.

[Final-Sam]

I've stopped watching the series when the pink ranger was switched...
When that cat lady took kimberley's space.... God damn!!
