Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

I fell MMPR was one of the best shows of all time. It was the starter for the hugely successful series which would last well over the next 10 years. But, i feel the original series was one of the only decent one, which gave way to trash like space and lightspeed rescue. I mean, what a spin off. They cannot even compare with Mighty Morphin'. But kids these days are being dragged into the newer versions, with all their fancy CGI, what happened to good old-fashioned butt-kicking? The old characters were there for a good time, or so it seemed. They always looked there on the set for fun, and the comedy and carelessness gave the series the edge. But now you get dino thunder (HUGE spin off of MM, like dinozords etc) and spd. There is no fun in those. No obvious enjoyment. And the bad guys are a joke, i mean seriously what happened to good old rita repulsa and lord zedd? Now we get a gut with a skeleton head where you can even see the actor's face under the mask, and goldar has been replaced by a posh little girl who does nothing but draw monsters all day. I mean seriously. Get MMPR, which will give you a true perspective of what Power Rangers truly is.

I was a Power Rangers fan when it first came out, (can you believe it?) but looking back, I noticed that it's a little messed up.

Although a lot of it didn't really look all that great, remember this: THE SHOW WAS MEANT FOR A YOUNG AUDIENCE!!! It was supposed to be dorky!

Like many fans my age, we were all in awe as we watched Tommy lose his powers, but then briefly regain them only to have the green ranger powers taken away again.

I'm also guessing that those that watched this for the first time didn't know the identity of the white ranger until part two of "The White Light."

Of course, during the 3rd season, it was kind of hard to follow... so I stopped watching until Zeo.

Recently, it's grown into a guilty pleasure for me, so I only watch it in secret.

As far as the rating goes, it's at least a 7.

Everyone enjoyed the Power Rangers first seasons. The incredibly cheesy lines, ridiculous plots, and giant monster fight scenes made it all the more watchable. It was definitely watched by more people than you think when it first came out. Everyone tries to hide the fact that they watched it every time a new episode came on. The show was over the top and it rocked. The same thing was going to happen every episode, but it didn't matter. You knew there would be some small fights, Rita would get mad, make her monster huge.. which eventually lead to Morphin Time! Each villain had its own unique ability and look. They all made you laugh. The show lost its luster as it went on, but I guarantee you have to say the first seasons of Power Rangers were a total classic!

How can u NOT like power rangers? For a 6 year old it was the coolest thing in the world. Good dialogue? Plot lines? Cheesy one liners? Sure they're there, but honestly, do u think a child would REALLY take those into account when thinking whether a show is good or bad? The problem with all u people is that u look at it with an adults point of view. Ask ANY child's opinion, and they would claim that MMPR is one of the best things since sliced bread.

I'm 19 now, and i still love watching it cos of the fond memories it brings back. I'm sure many of those around my age bracket still do too. Hell, its hilariously poor, but there is always that little part of me that turns back into a 6 year old kid, and cheers the Power Rangers on.

Everyone keeps making fun of this movie and the funny thing is they are probably all adults or older teens. This movie and the TV show were aimed at little kids in the 4-8 age group. When my son was 4 and 5 he just loved this show. It wasn't hugely violent, the good guys always won and it held his attention. All tastes change and his of course has now that he is almost 16. Still, this show was good for the little ones who didn't like cartoons, but still liked cartoon action. I used to watch it with him and still occasionally watch if there isn't anything else on. Since there are so many other movie and TV shows worth ragging on, maybe it's time to let this one take its place as one of the longest running kids shows and pick on something really lame, like all the "reality" shows taking over TV. Thank you.....
