Don't talk about Bulk like that!

I feel that Disney saw the Power Rangers franchise totally expendable once they got ahold of Marvel. Also, Disney really neglicated Power Rangers over time. It started when Jetix turned into Disney XD, moving Power Rangers off the air in cable in the process. Then on ABC, often times, the shows were preempted by live sports programming such as college football. Other times, some of ABC's affiliate broadcasting groups wouldn't air it at all because of the lack of FCC-compliant educational and informational content in the programs.

On the toy side of things, anyone else bummed that Bandai still has the right to make the toys? They haven't made a good action figure for the line, or any toy line of theirs in years.

What's everyone got against the shows being filmed in New Zealand?

 

[Charlie Boy]

Personally, I hated the wonky accents... Weird, I know... It just bugged me. Also it had a completely different vibe once filming moved to NZ.

I'd buy every one up until Space.

I can't believe they haven't already been released... They've released a lot of crappy shows on dvd, why can't they release a show with such an impact on the masses?

Id buy those as well

They haven't been released because Disney never cared to release them.. I really want the green ranger Saga on DVD sooo bad

 

[Charlie Boy]

Stupid Disney, I thought all they cared about was money. They'd be rollin in even more of it if they released the seasons

 

[Jordacar]

^Can Disney still do that, or is it up to Saban now?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Should be up to Saban now since he bought the rights back.

And ya, while I am basically fine with it being filmed in NZ, the show changed a bit when they went over there. Plus it makes it harder for oldies to come back unless Saban isnt as cheap as Disney was when it came to flying people out....which he probably will be.

He had the original cast for MMPR working 17 hour day shifts and back they were non union.

So yeah...


Also if anyone wants to read a unofficial 'behind the scenes' story.

With Samurai Sentai Shinkenger completed the writers should have enough time to hammer out a good story. They don't have to rush like in the past.




In the past all Toei(the company behind the marketing and such of the sentai series) did was provide a rough outline to the American folks and then the American production crew/writers winged it.

None of which mattered, because this year, Chip crowed, the Sentai has given us everything we could ask for! Have you seen these early pictures? The robots are spaceships? They ride fling jet-things! My god- we can turn this series into a war in space with no effort at all, and tie off everything perfectly! The Sentai had handed them everything they ever wanted, the Rangers were high schoolers, just like PR had always done, and they had a team of EVIL RANGERS to fight, the plot PR had wanted to do for 6 years!

...and then he saw the actual episodes.
"What do you mean they never go to space?"
Megaranger, touted as a 'Space Sentai,' was actually video-game themed. They never left Earth, their ship was in orbit, it just flew down to Earth for the fights. There was no footage of the ships sailing the stars, no alien landscapes or monsters, no... SPACE at all from the Sentai that was destined to be 'Power Rangers in Space.'

"**** it, we're doing it anyway."

 

[Charlie Boy]

That quote is so American. I love it. "**** it, we're doing it anyway."

And it ended up being one of the best seasons ever.

 

[Kevin]

Are you guys messing with me, or is there a new PR series coming?

 

[Charlie Boy]

This has all been a clever and elaborate joke.

Nope. It's 100% serious.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Yes, please read the first and second page for all the information gathered so far

Over the past few years "No Pink Spandex" has gotten exclusive interviews with past cast members.

For some reason I love everything before Space but I don't actually fancy Turbo that much....

It's cool, no one liked Turbo; it's considered to be the worst season of PR ever.

Although I've always wondered what fans considered the 2nd worst season after Turbo.

My, how the littlest Blue Ranger have grown
