12th Season of Power Rangers confirmed
 
Today it was confirmed that Power Rangers will be renewed for another year with new episodes in 2004 as the new series Power Rangers Dino Thunder, which is almost unbelievably going to be the 12th season of the show !

Power Rangers will also celebrate it's 500th episode shortly after the season premiere. It's just so amazing, anyone who hits on PR cannot deny that running for 12 seasons non-stop is an amazing feat for any Television show let alone a kids one. Hopefully this prove to the critics that PR is the greatest and is here to say.

Here's the Dino Thunder story from the press release:
Quote:

When Dr. Anton Mercer, an evil paleontologist, unleashes his Dino Zords - creatures of incredible strength and intelligence - on the world, Dr. Tommy Oliver, a mild-mannered high school teacher must stop him. Reigniting his secret past as the Black Ranger, Oliver recruits three students as rangers.
But can a rebellious basketball star, a beautiful loner musician and a laid-back champion gamer become superheroes in time to vanquish Mercer and his mutant warriors ?
Here's a link to thread where the it was posted and a scan of the press release and the new logo:

500th episode!? :o Wow, it's hard to believe how far they have come since Alpha's Magical Christmas.

Mr. Snackpants 06-11-2003 10:56 AM

seriously, how can you watch that?? Just seeing the name "Power Rangers Dino Thunder" makes me wanna throw up. "Dino Thunder"? What will they come up with next? :roll: Yes, its very hard to believe its in its 12th season seeing how hardly no one watches it.

Power Rangers was cool when it was in its first couple of series, as soon as they went in space etc, it was a pile of crap not worthy of gracing my tv.

I agree with you. I used to like the old Power Rangers. Now they just keep coming up with lame titles and stories just to keep Power Rangers alive. But it's a waste. Soon they will be morphing with cel phones and be drug addicted teens.

Personally I think its always been a stupid show. I only liked it cuz I was 8 yrs old and they wore cool suits and had cool monsters and weapons. Every ep was the same. Power rangers had some social problem. Rita Repulsa sends down a monster thing to destroy them. The power rangers fight it and think they destroy it. The monster becomes huge. The PR get into there megazord and fight until the monster blows up. then the PR are loved for their bravery and strength.

Now its the same thing cept different characters, different suits, different monsters, and different social problems.

Shellfox 06-11-2003 11:41 AM

YES YES YES, they are finnally get brain back in theie head and going back to the old school. I don't care if its another reality, or they have a diffrent person to Play Tommy this kicks shell man.
Dinozords, YES, and maybe dare I dream the return of Dragon Zord as a US exclusive!! Even if its not the same Actor as tommy this sets up one sweet possible crossover.
Ep 500, can you say return of as much of the original cast as they can get!!!

liltimmyw 06-11-2003 11:56 AM

Grrrrr
The only series of PR that was good was MMPR.

Dane E5R 06-11-2003 12:02 PM

Is there a rule against bashing Power Rangers here? Cuz I'm gonna. This sounds completely, and TOTALLY lame. The idea of that new season is almost as asinine as posting Power Ranger news at a TMNT forum. Tommy was the green ranger...Then the white ranger...Now he was the black ranger? Uh. What? Not to mention the new Dinozords don't hold a candle to the old ones. I agree with the majority that the Power Rangers LOST it when they went into Space. By Turbo, it was simply unbearable. They need to keep that stuff in Japan, because what we have here is just plain rancid and needs to DIE..DIE.....................Die. :)

I stopped watching the show after the White Ranger and his Zord rolled off into the sunset.
Though,...I would love to meet the guy eho played Tommy.... :D :anime:

Shellfox 06-11-2003 12:35 PM

True for years the show has lost its way (for me it was lost when Galaxacy began) but there have been goos points in each of the sagas, but non beat the fisrt 3 season which make up MMPR, But with the Return of Tommy oh what joy. But as I take it many have not checked the link, and there is no real comfermation that the same actor will reprise the role, all it atnds with now is the name

Mars-Chan 06-11-2003 12:39 PM

Does anyone know where I can find a Tommy animation?
Not that I'm curious or anyrthing.....:anime: :D

Jason, you should check out Sentai. It's the japanese show that Power Rangers was based on.

TheShredder 06-11-2003 01:38 PM

I'm sorry I just find it funny that people who watch a show about giant talking Turtles can insult insult The Power Rangers...........

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TOIPC, DON'T POST.

Really, what did this accomplish other than adding fuel to a forming flame war?

I think your just jelous that PR took over the TMNT's main-stream popularity. The first show was really well made, regardless if you like it or not. And PR has some of the coolest toys I've ever seen or played with.

And I really doubt you would think they suck if they did direct translations of the Japanese shows each season is based off of.

No kidding. The dumbasses like majorlame are just tryign to get attention :lol:

I agree that it started getting weird after the 2nd season, but thats cool. The first 2 seasons were awesome, nothing can change that. I hope season 12 is gonna be good :D

Actually I heard a rumor that the original cast of MMPR were all hard-core potheads. Supposedly then yellow ranger did an interview for some magazine a few years ago talking about it. Don't know if it's true or not, but it's rather funny to imagine.

I hate Power Rangers. I thought they were lame when they first came out (And I was only 7!) and I still do. I'm sorry, but regardless of whether it's in the original Japanese or not, the monsters are still painfully pathetic, as are the effects.

Plus, Power Rangers didn't just put a boot in TMNT's behind, it also is responsible for ousting SatAM. Heaven only knows how many other good shows were dropped because of it.

Nothing personal to you PR fans, but I just can't (nor have I ever been able to) understand it's popularity.


(((On a side note: Matthew, do you think you could have found a creepier avatar?? :teek: :dead: ))

Really? Woah I would never know. all those things they did where they would walk up to a kid being pressured and say DON't DO DRUGS! or JUST SAY NO! Well well I guess they need to take their own adivce then.

Leo656 06-11-2003 07:35 PM

I agree with kameko rather thoroughly.

And I dunno about Matt's avatar, I rather enjoy it. His Christopher Lowell sig was 10x creepier (or whatever that guy's name was).

Raphael: It *could* be just a rumor, but a certain friend of mine says he has the magazine with the interview in it. So I'unno. I prefer to believe it though, mostly because Amy Jo Johnson seriously looks and acts like the biggest stoner since Jay Mewes.

Kameko 06-11-2003 07:41 PM

Leo656: Aw, my mom and I think Christopher Lowell is funny. He has some really good decorating ideas, and his impressions are great. He may be.... er, 'effeminate' (SP??) but he's still hilarious.

EZweasel 06-11-2003 07:48 PM

power rangers are trash. i liked them for a little why when they first came out, but their trash now and i dont see why their gona do another season. Have you ever seen the ratings of the show??? That show needs to be thrown in a garbage can. And one more thing. Its awful to even mention Power rangers in the same sentance as the ninja turtles. Their not in the same league.

and yet they had a cross over ep
But like Jason says its on its 11th season going into 12th, its doing somthing right, and for those who thing the suits are bad you need to see some of the newer eps, cause many of the daily monsters look pretty cool, even if the reacuring ones suck in every way
