Wow, I vaguely remember this. Prime-time movies on network television were such a big deal back then!

The Power Rangers were already killing TMNT in the ratings and then they go on the premier of TMNT's second movie on TV to plug their show to send the turtles into hiatus until 1997.
So this was the start of their crossover that eventually happened |

They mentioned The X-Files, which, based on the year this was originally broadcast, must have been in its first season back then, as was MMPR, I'm guessing.
Looks like Friday nights weren't quite considered to be a "death slot" back then.

I dunno if it was a copyright issue, but it always kind of annoyed me that the Power Rangers barely commented on the movie. One of them near the end says something like "That Shredder sure is bad." and I'm like "Yea, no f*cking duh!!! Now do you have anything to say that relates specifically to this movie or are you just gonna name drop?!"

It's so weird seeing this knowing that eventually the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers would take over the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in terms of popularity. I know I eventually succumbed to the hype for a bit around 1993 or 1994, but I even remember at the time being a little ticked off as a kid that the Power Rangers were the cool new thing compared to the Turtles. It's strange how we remember stuff like that.
I know my interest in the Power Rangers didn't last long at all though and by the time the movie hit in 1995, I was already out.
