The 1990s was a great decade for TV and many children who grew up in the 90s can say we had the best TV shows live action or animation it was all impressive in their own right However there is one show that in 1993 made it debut and the kids ate it up like it was the biggest thing ever and that show would be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.I remember when I was Seven when I turn into the first episode "Day Of The Dumpster" I quickly became a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The series begin when Zordon and his assistant Alpha 5 recruited five normal teenagers to assist him in his battles with Rita Repulsa (Voiced by Barbara Goodson)These five teenagers would become known as The Power Rangers The first team were Jason The Red Ranger (Austin St.John), Kimberly The Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson),Billy The Blue Ranger (David Yost),Zack The Black Ranger (Walter Jones) ) and Trini The Yellow Ranger (Thuy Trang) After "Green With Evil" Mini Series and their battle with Tommy The Green Ranger (Jason David Frank) he reforms and becomes part of the team. In season 2 after losing his powers as the Green Ranger he would later become the White RangerLater in season 2 Jason, Trini and Zack would be replace by Aisha (Karan Ashley) Adam (Johnny Yong Bosch) Rocky (Steve Cardenas) as the Yellow, Black and Red Rangers respective. Throughout the first season the Rangers would battle Rita Goldar and her monsters whenever they would turn into Giants The Rangers would call for their Zords that could combine to form the Megazord.Then later in season 2 as replace by Lord Zedd (Voiced by Robert Axelrod) When the teens are not dealing with monsters they are dealing with the bullies Bulk (Paul Schrier) and Skull (Jason Narvy). Some of my favorite episodes of the series as a kid were "Day Of The Dumpster" "Power Ranger Punks" "Foul Play in the Sky" "Green With Evil" "Gung Ho!" "Island Of Illusion" "Calamity Kimberly" "The Green Candle" "A Bad Reflection of You" "Return of a Old Friend" "Football Season" "Mighty Morphin' Mutants" "The Mutiny" "The Wanna-Be Ranger" "Bloom of Doom" "White Light" "The Wedding" "Return of the Green Ranger" "Wild West Rangers" The series best feature is the fight scenes when the Rangers took on the monsters then they form the Megazord and you know it would be a power fight and as a Kid I was looking forward to the battle with Megazord. The series mix action, comedy, drama that make it a hit with kids and it got into your emotions there were times that I got emotional at the show that I still remember how hard it hit me.It's just amazing to me how far Mighty Morphin Power Rangers rise to the top of the super hero arena in a time when Super heroes were very much the top dogs in the children department.The series just made itself a legend
... View MoreI used to watch this show as a kid and as I grew up (I'm 18 years old) I still love it for it's cheesy, but nostalgic value that captivated me from the past few years along with all of the new seasons, although some of them weren't nearly as excellent as that show. The characters, the main five power rangers, were great and likable thanks to the acting, the morphing sequences, although cheesy, were decent, the action between the rangers and the monsters they have to face were enjoyable to watch especially the megazord fight sequences. The main villains are also pretty good too. Rita, although annoying, was OK, but Lord Zedd is very interesting with his menacing presence and the sidekicks were hilarious for the show's comic relief moments.The reason why I'm giving this a 9/10 is because the third season's episodes were quite weak, but not completely unwatchable while the first two seasons were creative and interesting with lots of great character-development between the main characters. Overall, not excellent, but I've seen much worse TV shows. This show will always be watchable for children and PR fans will never forget this nostalgia classic.
... View Morei used to watch this all the time as a kid. im 23 now and i still get a kick out of it! i don't care how corny it may be, the original power rangers show was super fun and entertaining. its funny to see the very early 90's cheesy effects but obviously for the time it was probably a huge budget for these episodes. one of the best things about the show was that it wasn't offensive, gross, sexual etc like what passes for "kids" shows these days. it taught basic moral values every kids could learn without beating you over the head with it. the cast was likable (every race was represented, black, white, Chinese, nerd, valley girl, lol) and the show had one of the most rockin awesome theme songs EVER. i don't even count the other power rangers spin off shows, its just pointless to try to recast the team again and again, with all the new lamer looking suits. the original suits were simple designs and amazingly, they worked. the villains were often times ridiculous looking, people in costumes, but man its so fun to watch this stuff. the show seems to have a heavy Japanese influence look to it. the show often times looks very toy-etic, looking like they were made to sell toys at certain times, but its like, cool at the same time! i don't know any kid my age who didn't have a power ranger action figure. just recently i saw they brought back the original power rangers to the toy aisles in stores, and being a huge (closet) fan of the original series, i couldn't help but pick them up. i am a geek, and i don't care! this is my childhood, along with the original batman films. this is what i grew up with, so it makes me happy to relive it and hopefully one day i can show these to my kids when i have them. GO GO POWER RANGERS!
... View MoreI watched this show avidly growing up in the 90's...And this was the original that created a phenomenon, a kids morning show with proper action, fight scenes that gave the bored kids on weekends an adrenaline boost which lasted the whole week...5 teenagers are given great powers to fight the evil forces with their amazing kung-fu powers. Looking back..Yes, the dialogue was weak..yes the acting was weak, as well as the writing..But the martial arts were top notch and the monsters were fantastic... As the show progressed it got better but everything that has a beginning has an end...The show lost it's momentum around the 'Turbo' series...and sadly has been going on with little juice since... I adored the moment the monster became gigantic..Because I always knew the 'Zords' were on their way! Looking back it's a little odd how Tommy...back when he was the Green Ranger, managed to get Godzilla as his zord? Take it for what it is! A kids show...a great kids show!
