TMNT on Power Rangers... AGAIN...

[spooie redux]

I figured I'd let everyone know that TMNT was going to be on PR again NEXT Saturday... Since it was the first time a lot of you had ever seen it and, I know a few others out there missed it.

For Ranger or Turtle fans, Jan 18 is a Power Rangers Crossover special event.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2003
7:00 a.m. Power Rangers - "Rangers of Two Worlds, Part 1" PRZ-4027

Just encase anyone is interested...

"Rangers of Two Worlds" -- PR Zeo and Alien Rangers crossover
"Shell Shocked" -- Space and TMNT crossover
"Power to the Tenth" -- Space and Lost Galaxy crossover
"Trakeena's Revenge" -- Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue crossover
"Worlds Apart" -- Not a crossover: introduction of Eric on Time Force (good ep)
"Reinforcements From the Future" -- Time Force and Wild Force crossover
"Forever Red" -- 10th anniversary special, featuring all 10 Red Rangers and a bunch of cameos and former cast members doing voices. If you used to watch PR at SOME point in your life and quit for whatever reason, check this episode out anyway... it's considered the best by many fans.

:P

Anyway.... that's it. Figured most of you would be interested.

Power Rangers and Turtles? Who thought that up? I don't think they'd go together very well....just my opinion. But what do I know? They'll find some way of making it look cool I suppose.

Sorry, I'm not a big PR fan. Never did like it on TV. They're heroes to someone and I guess that's cool with me.

[spooie redux]

It was made to bring Power Ranger fans into the TMNT:TNM TV series... since Saban was making both shows, and Power Rangers is the only real hit they've had in this format... it's still going stronger than ever today. They did the same thing with Masked Rider at some point. The PR franchise would soon get a LOT better in season 2 of Space, Lost Galaxy and Time Force thanks to writers Judd Lynn and Jackie Marchand.

But anyway... The episode itself is pretty goofy... but I guess that was the aim of it. Astronema, the Queen of Evil, brainwashes the Turtles into pretending to help the Rangers. Once on board the Astro Megaship (Ranger's base in space), they start to cause all sorts of havok and such.

The Turtles ALSO show up at the tail end of the episode BEFORE this one... but it's only about 10 seconds.

If you want more theres a topic in GD about the Power Rangers/TMNT cross over with more details about when adn why it happened

[TMNTGal]

It was a retarded episode but I admit recording it. At least I saw the power geeks getting their butts kicked around. What was up with those voices? The Turtles sounded awful, even worse than they did on NM. The bloopers at the end were kinda funny though. :P

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

I can honestly say that I liked the first two seasons of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But after that, the show began to change so much that it turned me away.
There have been, like, 38 different incarnations of the Power Rangers. So many different people have portrayed them. Power Rangers in Space, Zeo Rangers, Time Travel Rangers, Theatre Rangers, Puppet Rangers, Ballet Rangers, Dancing Rangers, Cooking Rangers, and the list goes on and on.

It got a little hard to follow after a while. But the first two seasons of the show were great. The Green Ranger was the best.

I have the scripts (ep 1 (http://www.fogu.com/nttnm/episodes/prispace1.txt) and ep 2 (http://www.fogu.com/nttnm/episodes/prispace2.txt) ) written out for both TMNT/PR crossover shows :) I wonder why FOX isn't airing the one that appears before Shell Shock? It might of only had the Turtles in it at the very end, but it was a prelude to what would happen in the actual crossover episode.

WAY COOL!! is somebody gonna tape them for on IRC??
In good quality (not realplayer :D

Would be really cool..

[Nickokapo]

There's already a 160 mb vcd rip of both episodes, probably better quality than you could ever get from vhs, but i still have to resume the 2nd episode...as soon as i find the kolkster again i'll ask him :D
And i agree, the first 2 seasons were fine i guess, but then it got hard to follow imo, i dunno, i just stopped liking it.
I've also liked masked rider and vr troopers! :D DON'T HIT ME KTHX! :P
Hmmmm, at last some tmnt scripts, now i can start subbing the eps into spanish :P thanks cherubae.

[The Green Ranger]

the reason it switched every year after mmpr went off it because of Japanese Sentai. Sentai has been on in Jaspan since 1975. it consists of every year a new set of heros, villians, cast members, etc. saban wanted continuity, but the ratings were declining in mmpr season 3 so they upgraded to power rangers zeo. every year they switched cause they bought more footage from sentai in Japan. the american public cant really handle change that well thats why we cant get into each year something different.

[Shellfox]

The first 6 years were OK, but after that they los anyjoining thread which probly did the most damage, though the CGI in Wild Force did perc my intrest

and Green Ranger I love the Avatar

[Nickokapo]

Love the avatar too :D
Yeah i've readed about the sentai shows too, too bad in the usa they changed a lot of stuff, scripts, actors...just like they did with most anime, modify it all.
But hey i liked some americanized sentai shows, like masked riders and the first season of mmpr, that's about it (yeah i liked zeo but not that much :dead: )
Too bad they didn't made a power rangers out of choujin sentai jetman, it's one of the only sentai shows that i thought could be ok...i've readed they dubbed it for the vcd version (no actor changes or anything, it was just dubbed) but it also said the dubbing was bad :dead:

[cable04]

i like the first 2 seasons of MMPR, too
but i must say the black ranger was the coolest

i didn't watch the eps with TMNT/MMPR, i just couldn't bring myself to do it. at that time i hated MMPR and thought TMNT:NM was lame, even though i've always loved the turtles

what channel are they airing on? i want to see ANYTHING TMNT related now

[beaker]

Hey, Im a huge TMNT fan as the next guy, but even I have my limits!
Power Rangers...*shivers* I remember in 1993 thinking 'dear gosh, its the next Barney!'. Sadly Teletubies, Pokemon, etc later I was right.

Then again I remember Power Rangers when *I* was little. Then again it was all in Japanese, and was called yuri Yuri Rangers....and looked just as cheesey.

[Jephael]

All I can say is...

DOC: "No wonder this circuit failed, it says Made in Japan!"
MARTY: "What're you talking about Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan!"
DOC: "Unbelievable."

Okay, It pains me- PAINS ME to ask this but what possible circumstance brought the Rangers and the Turtles together, please tell me Venus wasn't in it!

PS-When I first read this post I was like: crap I missed it! Then the realization that I didn't have to sit through an epp of Power Rangers set in and I felt happy.

PS#2- by the way the show that Power Rangers took all the action scenes from was called ZyuRangers ( Dinosaur Task Force, Beast Rangers) this has caused Japanese fantasy fans to hate Saban to the upmost degree often misspelling the company's name "Satan" then going "I mean Saban, not like their's much of a difference"

She most certainly was. It was a crossover between PR In Space (the currently PR series at the time) and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. TNM was produced by Saban, so i guess they figured "Why Not?"

Well, that idiot Saban tried to buy the Jim Henson Company/Muppets a few months ago which would have sucked.

Btw, just *what* TMNT were used for this abomination crossover? Next Mutation outfits Im guessing. oy.

[Sparvid]

TNM was produced by Saban, so i guess they figured "Why Not?"I can think of many reasons... :P

[darthsmozers]

can someone inform me as to if this episode is found on Kazaa currently? mIRC crashed by laptop every time i download something. I also have AIM with a T1 connection if anyone is generous enough :(

[darthsmozers]

Heh, I downloaded (from Kazaa) "Forever Red"...THAT was awesome!!!

Now, does anyone have "Shell Shocked"?

[cable04]

yup, they sure did use the next mutation costumes

[Nickokapo]

Darthsmozers, i haven't seen em in kazaa, only mIRC...I could send em to you thru aim but they're 165 megabytes...each.
Believe me, it's not worth it...unless you really really want to see it stay clear of it.
