Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Stole All Its Ideas From The Party
	
As most people who watched, or were even vaguely exposed to it, the  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were based on a Japanese show.  What was  supposed to be original to the American version, however, were the  secret identity portions of the heroes.
 
The American version debuted in 1993.  Three years prior, a startlingly  similar band of what you could also call heroes had emerged.
The Party was a five piece group made up of Mickey Mouse Club cast  members.  They soon established themselves as one of the greatest pop  groups in history, thanks in large part to the all-time greatest selling  single on the Billboard charts  In My Dreams.

Once The Partys formula was established as a complete success, it  wouldnt be long before the creators of other forms of media would take  notice.  This is what happened with the cast of Mighty Morphin Power  Rangers.
The Partys guaranteed formula for success was:
*Italian guy who isnt particularly good looking, but if you were forced  to pick the sex symbol of the group, itd probably be him.
*Brunette girl of above-average attractiveness
*Dorky white guy
*Black Guy
*Asian Girl
 
A few short years later, what formula does the cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debut with?
 
 
 
*Italian guy who isnt particularly good looking, but if you were forced  to pick the sex symbol of the group, itd probably be him.
*Brunette girl of above-average attractiveness
*Dorky white guy
*Black Guy
*Asian Girl
 
There can be no denying this incontrovertible evidence  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers got all their ideas from The Party.
 
The world of movies, television, and music may never be the same once this shocking scandal shakes the world to its very core.
