Still no news on a new season?

*ZariusTwo* · 09-20-2009, 03:41 AM

The only real concrete news is that Disney made the decision to polish up MMPR in HD and rerun it in 2010, but there's been some interesting tidbits

-In a recent interview, Dan Ewing (Dillon) admited Disney may or may not do a "throwback" season in 2011 or late 2010.

-The cast of the second portion of Power Rangers Turbo (including an older Blake Foster) recently reunited for a photo-shoot

*Hero* · 09-30-2009, 03:27 AM

So the UK's ahead with RPM? Sweet!

The last RPM episode I saw was the Behind The Scenes thing. Whilst it was good for a 'making of the programme', its more suited as a DVD extra rather than a regular episode.

They had to film that episode in order to get the remainder of the scripts written and filmed.

*Hero* · 10-04-2009, 08:34 AM

Been catching up with RPM. Glad to see the obvious revelation about Tenaya 7 finally come out in the open. Just about to watch the Run, Ziggy, Run episode in a bit. I think that's up to date now.

Yep, there's no further episodes scheduled for the states until December 9th (not unless another region plows through the season when they aqquire the rights).

Afterwards, "MMPR Remastered" begins airing in 2010.

Yes it does, especially when you have to film scripts waiting on days that needed to be script-edited, filmed, and edited in production, the only way they could catch up was to do a behind-the-scenes episode (since all of that was CLASHING WITH PRODUCTION DATES, thanks in no small part to Eddie getting behind with his micro-management) where everyone goofed around whilst the writers, editors, and directors got to work on those episodes. It probably didnt even take them twenty minutes to a few small hours studio wise to polish off "And..Action"

Do me a favour, get an education in television and THEN tell me if this doesnt make any sense. "And...Action" is really no different from putting together bottle shows or clip shows to save money and finish production on episodes quicker.

(And don't give me that "Eddie said he didnt go overbudget/lag behind" s*it, a terminated employee will NEVER blame himself for his own faults, he has no credibility in that catergory)

~~Dan~~ · 10-27-2009, 03:16 AM

Yeah but wouldn't it have saved more time and money just to not do the episode to being with? BTW Yes a fired employee my not have credibility but neither do rumors on the internet.

*Hero* · 01-22-2010, 12:05 PM

What do you guys make of the tweaked MMPR reruns?

I just acquired the complete season Dino Thunder on DVD since I missed that and quite a few others. Not bad.

===HERO

*Brodie* · 01-22-2010, 12:53 PM

Have they aired/shown anything?

*Hero* · 01-22-2010, 02:00 PM

I am guessing so.

I don't know what the regular TV stations are in the US, but I've managed to watch captures of the first 6 episodes from a channel called ABC. It seems like there are 2 episodes shown each weekend.

I didn't see a thread for Chuck, and I didn't want to start one for the show with the sentence I'm about to say. This past Monday's episode of Chuck had the MMPR Command Center as a museum. I thought it was a great cameo of the building. Just figured I'd let you guys know.

Right, big news since Saban repurchased the Power Rangers franchise

-The new season will be produced by Jonathan Tzacher (MMPR-Wild Force) and will be close to the original Sentai material (as TF and WF largely were), with MMPR writer Tony Oliver developing scripts.

-Paul Schrier (Bulk) has allegedly been contacted

In unreleated news, David Yost (Billy) recently came out of the closet and revealed the reason he left the series was due to being harrased at work for his sexuality.

*oldmanwinters* · 08-29-2010, 02:33 PM

Power Rangers appreciate thread, huh?

Umm...

The Green Ranger's Mugen character is pretty awesome to behold.
Dragonzord forever!

Bulk?! Awesome!!

But yeah that whole thing with David Yost totally came out of nowhere. He left cuz supposadly the creators, writers, producers, AND directors were giving him a hard time for being gay.

Bulk; high school bully/junior cop/detective assistant during his run. Wonder what he'll do this next series?

I can't believe that David Yost is gay! Sure, he got along with the late Thuy Trang. Can you imagine Billy wanting to date Tommy?

I use to like him because I felt so sorry for him. He didn't participate in Putty fights until the 2nd season. When they had that talent show episode where he dressed up as a cowboy, with gutiar in hand, thought for sure he had a musical side. I was so disappointed he never got to sing! It made my cry so much, I had one of Rita Repulsa's HEADACHES!

I had a bit of a crush on Billy (but not quite as big as my crush on Tommy). I don't think Billy would flirt with Tommy... I could see him with Tommy's brother, David Trueheart, tho.

*Hero* · 08-31-2010, 04:23 PM

Bulk coming back to PR would be good, but it would only be complete to have Skull back too.
