Is it a good or a bad thing they didn't bring over Mandora Boy?

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

A very bad thing. If you excise Mandora Boy, you also excise his song about the magicians of the colours. And that is inexcuseable.

Agreed. I'm also so disappointed that they didn't bother with the various Sentai dances.

It blows my mind that there hasn't been a black female ranger in over ten years.

American children are simply too obese to dance. Power Rangers could start off small, though, like maybe have the Dino Charge cast encourage today's youth to hop in their scooters when they want a case of Four Loko instead of shrilly berating their parents to bring it now or else they'll tell the teacher daddy touches them after lights out.

I would say "one step at a time," but given how hideously fat American children are, we have to work up to even that.

If the helmet were one of the six original helmets instead of just the red one, I think that would be way cooler. They'd sell tons of Tommys, but I'd really just want a Blue Ranger one.

For as much of a bad rep that episode gets, it's actually alright. It's incredibly goofy and memorable. Hard to say for a lot of other episodes.

Yeah, the pizza one is pretty good, especially in comparison to Robot Ranger.

Pizza episode just embraced the sillyness and rolled with it. Robot Ranger set up a plotline and a genuinely spooky concept and completely undermined itself and fuzzled out like a wet fart.

Alpha 6 was one of the worst mistakes the show ever did

I think people would treat Turbo better if you replaced Zordon with Dimitria and kept Alpha 5 or vice versa, but both of them together is too much bad writing for any sane person to take.

I've seen every episode of MMPR and Zeo but nothing from Turbo. I made a good decision, based on everything I've read about that season.

With Burk unable to record with us, I've been watching every episode of Turbo, and the count thus far as been 23 decent-to-awesome episodes with only 2 real bad stinkers so far. Maybe the latter part of the season is just absolutely terrible...but its not a bad season overall.

I always thought people found the first half of Turbo with the veteran rangers to be the part that was awful and the part with the new rangers actually improved the season.

Personally I didn't think Turbo was that bad. Its schlocky as hell and that's what I enjoy out of Power Rangers.

When I was a kid, I saw the Turbo movie and like two episodes of Turbo and and said "cars? Screw this." Then I stopped watching Power Rangers altogether.

Really the only seasons I've seen are MMPR, large chunks of Zeo, and RPM. I should really try the other seasons sometime but... that's a lot of episodes. I did try to watch a few episodes of Samurai, but I really couldn't get past the hokey plotting, characterization, and acting immediately after seeing RPM.

Here are the first 15 episodes of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (translated by a not poo poo group) for your viewing pleasure.

Seriously watch it. For as mediocre as Power Rangers: Samurai is Shinkenger is very good.

I really enjoyed the old team half of Turbo...the actual handoff was horrifically lazily done, but I'm enjoying the new team as well (even if Selwyn Ward really needs some time to catch his stride int he ADR department.)

It wasn't nearly as "let's just use stock footage of the outgoing actors, since they walked out on us suddenly". Tommy & Co. went around, peering creepily into people's windows and being like "hey dude I just met this episode, you're totally going to be the new Red Ranger."

Ashley and Carlos were introduced several episodes before the switch, rarely seen in between. Cassie and TJ were introduced in part 1 of the 2 parter "Passing the Torch". The dilemma of finding the replacements was introduced in part 2. Yeah, very rushed. At least the replacements made a bit of sense, having the originals and replacements interacting before hand. Except for Tanya and Ashley never meeting.

Stock footage AND Bad sound-alikes.

I think I prefer Power Transfer only because we got JYB out of the bargain.

Though all the ranger switch-ups (Including Different Shade of Pink) are way better than Aisha's "Gonna go help animals in Africa of the past, later Zordon." thing in Hogday Afternoon 2.
