Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

(I'm feeling nostalgic)

Now mostly everyone in my age range remembers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and everyone i talk to remembers how amazing it was and how much crap it is now. I agree with them fully but I beleve that all of television is crap today. I do have to hand it to the guy who brought Power Rangers over here, he was a genius. For those of you who do not know "Power Rangers" was brought over here from Japan by an man named Haim Saban. Power Rangers originated from a show in Japan titled Super Sentai which is a show that was popular in Japan sine the 1970's. Each season of the show had a different title, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was from a season title Zyuranger. Haim Saban thought it would be good to see if a show that was popular in Japan could be made popular here, when u splice in japanese footage from the show and add American actors and voice overs. It was a risky move and the show was quite badly put together because the people really couldn't act, but of course it doesn't take away from the Amazingness of the show. The show was very low budget at the beginning until it started gaining popularity and noteriety. Mighty Morphin was the longest running Power rangers show Saban found it fit to change the zords as they ran out of footage from the season Zyuranger and then use the zord footage and create storylines about changing zords. it worked perfectly. But after 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin, Haim Saban decided to bring over the other seasons and use the footage from that season in Japan. Usually "Power Rangers" seasons are made a year after a season of Super Sentai is made so they can develop a storyline for the show. After running the show for so many years, Saban sold the rights to the Power Rangers franchise to Disney. Disney started making Power Rangers episodes beginning with the season off Power Rangers Ninja Storm and the show began being filmed in New Zealand.
Where am I going with this? I just decided to give background info for people who did not know the history of the show. I also would like to give my opinion on the franchise here.I believe that haim Saban was a genius and a great business man. Bringing the Power Rangers to the world was an excellent business move on his part, and getting rid of Power Rangers when he did was a great move too. Right before it became absolutely terrible and cashing out. That's all i have to say right now. kind of pre occupied and trying to multitask at the moment. until next time.

I actually LIKED the "badness" of the early seasons of "Power Rangers". That's what kept me watching. Also, the fact that the actors wearing the bulky "giant monster" suits could actually move well enough to do KARATE moves in them was a technical marvel! But when they started spendng more money to make it look better, it lost its "camp" appeal for me.
