Actually didn't TNM do quite good ratings wise? It was just too expensive of a show for Sabin to produce so they dropped it in favor of more cheap Power Rangers shows which at the time was like 40-50% stock footage.

For what it's worth TNM has some of the best suits and designs of early Sabin stuff and easily could have been a worthwhile show with a bit more thought, budget and little less trying to shove it into the Power Rangers mold.

I think a show like that could work better now with the improvements made in the suitimation genre from even a few years ago. I don't follow any of the current Power Rangers nonsense, but I have seen that a lot of the more current shows have better sets, villains and such. But TNM was really done on the cheap, even if it was in fact very expensive for Sabin to produce.
