Like a few of the other commentators said, this show was low-quality knockoff of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. I always thought the whole show was meant as satire back when I was watching it, because the writers seemed to be consciously making it so much more stupid than the Power Rangers, which was stupid enough on its own. My favorite episode was when our four teenage heroes were turned into retards by the main evil dude or somebody. Nimbar tried to gather them all up in one place by telling them things like "I have candy" or "Barney will be there". If it wasn't meant as parody, then pretend it was, because otherwise it would be too sad to think about.
But, yes bad. The writer-producers were initially promised they'd have either A: Japanese monster footage from Tsuburaya,or B: A reasonable American alternative. They got C: crap. When you get crap, you make the best of it, which they did. Was it a parody? Mr. Fisher and Mr. Staahl came from Chicago's Second City, so you make the judgment. Made the judgment yet? It was a joke. It would have been a more successful joke if the shows had more than a ten cent budget, but everyone did the best they could. And if it hadn't been at least a slightly memorable joke, you wouldn't be reading this now, would you? Personally, I think David Lander's portrayal of Lechner totally rocks. Well, rocks a bit.
When I first saw this in Dragon Ball Abridged I thought nothing as horrible as this could exist. It was worse than expectations but not manos bad. Don't Watch it.
This show tired to cash in on Power Ranger craze during the mid 90's. In some way this was an American knock off Ultraman mixed in with Saved By the Bell.
The shows main villain is Emperor Gorganus who wants to take over Earth because it's a center point for him to control the entire universe. He was successful and conquering other worlds and Earth would seal the deal in universal domination. However Nimbar (who looks like slime) recruited a unlike group of teenagers. Ones who are mainly upper class stuckups from...you get the ideal. Nimbar give them glow in dark tattoos and have the abily to become Galactic Sentials though a Transporter pads. They then appear enlarged like giants ready to take on Gorganus's monsters. Their was one interesting twist. The Sentials had the power to merge into one single super Sential. Other than that the only great thing about this show was the action even though it was shot on video.
Neverless they should have kept this ideal of a show to themselves. We could live without it.

I loved this show which contained the campy youthful humor of shows like Saved By The Bell and California Dreams and mixed it up with action to capitalize on the Power Rangers / Superhuman Samurai / VR Troopers / Beetleborgs craze of the 90s! Four teens were given the power to turn into giants to fight equally gigantic monsters, and strangely enough, always in the same city set! The monster suits were cheesy even by campy Godzilla standards and when necessary, the teens joined together to form...not a giant robot, but a cheesy knight in shining armor! By not taking itself seriously, it was actually more entertaining to me than the higher budgeted shows aforementioned. I'd love to see them collected on DVD but am equally sure they never will be. From the USA Network!
