Today marks 10 full years of Power Rangers
 

For any Power Rangers fans today is a special day it's exactly 10 full years since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first premiered on US TV on Saturday 28th August 1993.
It hard to believe it has been running not stop to this day and is now in its 11th Season. Over 480 episodes have aired so far and there'll be new episodes running from September until November concluding the 11th Season.

Anyway to celebrate this there'll be some special stuff going on in the US and in Europe.

In Europe those of you who get Fox Kids can watch Power Rangers: The History which is a programme that runs through the first 11 seasons of Power Rangers and features top 10's such as the greatest rangers, villians etc. It aired on Fox Kids UK last Friday and most other European countries should be getting is around about now.

In the US there will be a 10 episode special called Power Rangers: Rise of The Heros airing on ABC Family on the 9th September which will feature various episodes from the original MMPR right up to Ninja Storm.

So for all the Power Rangers fans that's 10 years, 11 seasons and over 480 episodes (and Season 12 coming next year !)

The team that started it all the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers:

eh my life is going really well without power rangers.
so i guess i'll just say, hope this seasons there last, dont want to kill a good thing like they already did.

Whoopy dee ****ing doo! :roll:

I hope the show gets canned ASAP......

On my dad's birthday? That's scary...

They aren't even called "Mighty Morphin" anymore. They should've stopped at "Turbo", cause after that I lost track of which character was which ranger.

I was wondering when we'd get our next Powers Rangers Update. It is hard to believe that crap has been on the air for 10 years. I had no idea it was still on until about a year ago. Now they have Ninja Storm with a guinea pig sensei. Hmmm, ninjas, rodents sensei, sounds familiar.

man I would like to meet the guy who desides if power rangers stays on or not, and kick is ass.

10 yrs already huh? I liked the orignal series with all the orignal characters I quit watching after they got a bunch of new people though it just wasn't the same

Oh, I hear you on that. When the show with the White Ranger went off the air, I decided to grow up that day.
*drools* Tommy........*ahem*What was I saying? :lol:

I was beginging to wonder where you were.

Honesly I am amazed the shows lasted this long. Then again I'm suprised LG didn't kill it.

Well way to go Power Rangers

I was a humongous fan of Power Rangers longer than most people. Until about 1997, actually. But I stopped watching when they replaced Tommy, Adam and the resta the somewhat original group that was in Turbo. It was bad enough that Rocky, My favorite at the time, got replaced by that little ****, but that was just the final straw. It hasn't really seemed like the same show for the past, like 6 years, or probably even less, has it? Not that I watch it any more, but, yanno, you see commercials and stuff. I'm happy to be back at TMNT where I started, cause Power Rangers kinda took it's place for me for those 4 years I was into it. But I'm glad to be back with TMNT. What's really cool tho was any time I would see an ex-ranger in a movie or on TV. Here's a small list of what somma the more classic Power Rangers actors have done since they left the show based off of stuff I've seen mixed with IMDB info.

Austin St. John (Jason): Not really anything. Some movie after Turbo that he isn't even credited in on IMDB.

Jason Frank (Tommy): I remember seeing him on that MTV Show Undressed a coupla years ago. Not much else.

Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly): Obviously, she was on that Felicity show and seems to have become remotely successful. Can you believe she's 33 years old? Wasn't she sposda be a tennager not too long ago? Apparently she's in or was in some band named Valhalla as a frontwoman (vocals and Guitar). The name interests me, at least. And one last note, I had the hugest crush on her when I was a kid.

Walter Jones (Zach): I just saw him like last week in a cingular commercial, actually. According to IMDB, he's missing his middle finger on his left hand. But it looks like he's actually doing pretty good for himself also with lotsa roles in movies and TV guest spots. Is also 33. Weird.

Thuy Trang (Trini): in Crow: City Of Angels as Kali. Did you know that she died two years ago next wednesday (9/3) in a car wreck? Nasty business.

David Yost (Billy): I haven't seen this, but he played a playboy photographer in some movie. Thought that was worth noting. LoL. Nothing else, really.

Steve Cardenas (Rocky): Literally nothing.

Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam): Well, he's not exactly a huge celebrity, but nerds and fanboys/girls everywhere know and love him as the English VA for Vash on Trigun and Keneda in the latest Akira dub! :anime: And he was much better than Jimmy Flinders, BTW!

Karen Ashley(Aisha): Jack Squat. Did anyone actually like her?

Cathrine Sutherland (Kat): Not much. I always thought she was really hot tho.


Past that, I'm too lazy to list. But the actors who played Rita and Lord Zedd are both quite accomplished voice actors (Wendee Lee, Faye from Cowboy Bebop was Rita! Weird, huh?), so if you're curious, go check it outcho damn self.













































But come to think of it, the show sucks now, so I think it's better that somebody just shoots me in the face for exuding such pointless effort.

10 years of Bulk and Skull.

LoL

I was watching that ridiculous TMNT/PR crossover just a few minutes ago, actually. It's one of those things that if you don't laugh while watching it, then you've got some record breaking stick crammed up your ass. Although I'm sure a lot of you here would be disgusted. Anyway, I agree with the masses when they say MMPR was awesome, but sucked from then on.

Thats a great photo of you cqb101.

Too bad he's like twice my age. :roll:

He actually appeared on Undressed alongside Taylor the yellow ranger from Power Rangers Wild Force. They played a couple.

Cerina Vincent/Maya from Lost Galaxy probably got the most attention since leaving, she appeared in "Not Another Teen Movie" as the naked exchange student, and also appears in Cabin Fever.

You know for someone who doesn't 'give a f***' it's kind of funny how you opened this thread and made not one, not two, but 3 replies... :roll:

This thread was intended for fans of the show or those who watched the original (and I know a lot of people here watched the original since they mention it other threads). I don't know why every time someone mentions 'Power Rangers' some people here freak out.

Anyway the show isn't going to get cancelled anytime soon. I know it came on just a few years after the original Ninja Turtles cartoon was around which is when I started watching, maybe some of you resent the fact it took over from Ninja Turtles as the most popular show, when in reality there is room for both.

Some of you criticize the original show for being to goofy but let's be honest the original Turtles cartoon was very cheesy too but it was still a show many people enjoyed and the reason why many of us are here. It's just so hypocritical that some people make such a fuss over PR.

Generally I don't mind people taking the p*** out of PR and I see people trashing the Turtles regularly too, it's their loss, but some people here really do go over the top sometimes making out that Power Rangers are the spawns of Satan, they have ruined their lives, they want to kill the producers etc. I mean jeez enjoy and show or don't.

It's kind of funny that some people claim they don't care about the show and yet can get so worked up about it. I suppose if anything your proving how popular they are, love them or hate them they were a big part of the 1990's and this is what this thread is all about.

Incidentally Sky Television listed Power Rangers as "The most successful kids series in the history of television" and I think reaching the '10 years non-stop' mark had pretty much sealed that. So if you watch PR it should put a smile on your face and if you hate it you can go and throw up or whatever. :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
god thats funny

Zordon would be proud.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I actually watched the original show, but stopped watching it when I realised that it was the cheesiest show ever. Not to mention the horrible acting. :roll:

I used to love her! Kinda pissed me off when they replaced her. And hey, she wasn't the first 20-something year-old to pass off as a teenager.

Eh, thats what gives it some of that B-movie type charm.

b? it was etleast a c no j type acting. :D :roll: :|

for my money the 2 best things to come out of MMPR

The Dragonzord alone was awesome, but those other zords were horribly cheesy!

Hence the reason I watched it! :wink: :D

I actually liked the original Megazord, the "dinosaur" Zords and the Dragonzord best.

The Green Ranger was the Best ever.

He was the only Ranger who had his own theme song. 8)

:nod: Apparently we agree, Ben. Went from green to white...I think...

You know what's funny to me?

When Tommy became the White Ranger, he automatically became the Leader of the Rangers, when it used to be Jason, the Red Ranger. I'm suprised Jason didn't get pissed off about that. :lol:

I mean, he lost all of his authority over the Rangers just like that.

Zordon must've been thinking, "Jason, I don't like you that much, so Tommy is the new leader. He deserves it, I mean he kicked your ass when he was a bad guy. You only got one hit off him. You suck Jason!" :x

:roll: Poor Zordon....

You gotta wonder what kinda people would be Rangers if affirmative action didn't exist.

Today also marks the day I got my 1000th post. :D

*is happy*

The Thunder Megazord was the best.

Agreed!

Was that the brachiosaurus, or whatever?

Thunder was season 2 with the red Dragon
The Brac was Tritanus from season 1 or coming up on season 12 with Black Ranger
