By the way, the first bonus disc in the MMPR portion has an Easter egg. See if you can find it.

I'm still testing my discs to see if they work, and I watched the Alpha's Magical Christmas feature and the World Live Tour feature today. They do work, and I'll never watch either one of those again.

Alpha's Magical Christmas can't be that bad, can it?

I don't know if you've seen it or not, but that, and the World Live Tour were just too cheesy for my blood. Power Rangers is cheesy as it is anyway, but those two just don't jive well with me. I've seen AMC before when I rented it from a video store, thinking it was an actual episode, except it was direct-to-video. I still wanted to to work well on the DVD I have, just because. So I just had to test it out.

I shelled out a lot of money for this set, so I just want to make sure all the discs work. So I've been playing them in the background and listening out for skips and what not.

Some big time fanfilm creators have put their heads together and are producing a "dark and gritty" MMPR movie. Here's the teaser (which was shown at Morphicon)

I can't find a good review of the mega box set, anyone have a link to one besides the rangercrew one and tons of unboxing or lacking reviews.

First I hear of this, where is the rumor coming from?

I'd love to see it the show isn't that bad for being an early toku adaptation. Not to mention it's part of the PRU no matter how much fans try to say otherwise.

AMC isn't that bad, it's a cheesy christmas special and fun to watch in a so bad it's a christmas special kind of way.

I hate super gritty realistic fan films, could've been a lot cooler doing something different. Even taking into account the budget.

One of the actors from the show talked about it possibly coming to DVD...he could be wrong, it's just people are jumping all over the claim.

This is the only extensive review I've seen so far.

The guy doing it doesn't seem to have much respect for the show, but at least he's on point with most of the things he talks about.

As far as Christmas specials go, I'd take "I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger", "A Season to Remember", and "Christmas Together, Friends Forever" over "Alpha's Magical Christmas". Something about it just seemed too childish for me.

It was David Stenstrom, who voiced King Mondo in Zeo, and played the dad in Masked Rider. Lavender Ranger reported it on his site, and this is what was said:

According to David Stenstrom (voice of King Mondo and dad in Masked Rider), he was told that Masked Rider will be coming to DVD next year. I was surprised to find out that he knows a bit of Kamen Rider and seen some episodes.

Anyway here, the link:

Shout! Factory will probably be responsible for this, but I don't know. I just hope David Stenstrom wasn't misinformed and that it will happen. I just wonder if David told Lavender Ranger this personally at PMC, or if it was mentioned at a panel there. Probably not the latter, since he wouldn't have been the only one talking about this.

Yeah I saw this earlier today before I checked here at The Technodrome and this thread with Power Ranger experts. Very nice. I'll be getting this very soon.
I also got into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers a tad later than others. In school there was a buzz about the show and I hadn't seen it yet. One day, after school I think, the first episode I saw was the one, please excuse me, that they fought the eyeball villain. I can't remember his name right now though. I can't wait to see these episodes again! Thanks Storm Eagle for your great coverage!

Nice, I like it

Today is the 19th anniversary of Power Rangers. The first ever episode, "Day of the Dumpster", premiered on this date back in 1993, on a Saturday morning.

I never knew the show existed until two weeks later though, when I saw a promo on September 8, 1993. This was also my first day of high school. We got out early that day, and would also be getting out early on the remaining days of the week. So I caught the last half of "A Pressing Engagement" (episode #4) the following day, and saw all of "Different Drum" (episode #5) the day after that. After that, since it aired too early in the afternoon for me to catch it after getting out of school, I was only able to see it on Saturdays, school vacations, and snow days (we had a lot of those around that time). I'm not really sure when I became a fan, but I'd just find myself watching whenever I could, and at some point I'd find myself watching regularly. I finally saw "Day of the Dumpster" for the first time when it reran some time during the spring of 1994 when I was on Easter vacation from school though. When the second season came around, I was on at weekdays at a time where I'd get home early enough to catch it. I've been keeping up with the show ever since.

May the power live on forever.

Amen brother! May the power live on forever and protect us
