Well, Mighty Morphin' was the first 3 years of the show. Then typically did another name each year after that. With Mighty Morphin' through In Space being a continuing saga (as would have many of the previous group of Rangers still around - with changes in the roster made at various times).

Then Lost Galaxy onward have been self-contained series (with usually only cross-over episodes having past Rangers).

I stopped being a rabid fan of MMPR when they got rid of Kimberly the pink ranger for that ugly blonde chick. I was so mad they tore apart my favorite coupling.

Kimberly and Tommy forever!!!!!!

Wow glad to see this topic got alot of replies,I didn't know that the majority of TMNT fans didn't like "Next Mutation",I myself can not really judge it,while I did grow up with the original cartoon for some reason I never knew about "Next Mut." until a few years ago while surfing the net,so I went to my local video store and rented one episode(they carried really old cartoons and movies,as well as new movies too),the one I saw was alright,I would have liked to see the rest but I'm too upset about.

Like I said I am a PR fan too and my fave season as of late it "Dino Thunder"

Amy Jo Johnson chose to leave the show herself, the producers had nothing to do with it.

wow I never knew that interesting and I see she's traded in her ranger outfit for that of some typical wb girl sitcom lol

i'm not a big fan of the next mutation but i still like it anyway.

*PizzaPower* · 10-13-2006, 05:31 PM

I loved this episode. I like Power Rangers until space, after space I did not watch it or care for it, my favorite PR series are Mighty Morphin and Space. "Shell Shocked" was an awesome ep. I loved it.

Yeah it was good episode,"PR: Space" is pretty good,but my fave PR is Dino Thunder,and of course "Mighty Morphin" second cause I grew up with it.

Like I said I can't really say whether or not I like "Next Mutation" cause up til a few years ago I didn't know it exsisted,and Iv only seen one ep. that I rented on VHS just to see what it was like,from what I saw it was pretty good,I wounldn't ,mind seeing the rest but who knows where to find them....

*Sewer Bull* · 10-14-2006, 03:42 AM

wow how original...

like Voltron and every other super duper robot japanese cartoon....

i remember working at TRU during the height of MMPR's popularity...we couldnt even SAY the words "power rangers" around parents or they'd start bugging you if we have em in stock...we referred to them as "PR". Everybody wanted the damn things for xmas...why i'll never know...I remember the TMNT toys back then were still flying off shelves too

...Voltron was actually a homage to the live-action Sentai format which implemented that first. Not the other way around

What ever happened to Amy Jo Johnson?

She starred in Felicity, then filmed a porno, now she's in a comedy, she's actually the highest profile star and going pretty strong.

*Sage Ninja* · 10-14-2006, 12:48 PM

wow, I had no idea she did a porno

I guess she wanted to lose the squeaky clean good girl image.

Does any body know what happened to the other MMPR actors after they left?

I think the second red ranger (the one that replaced Jason) voiced Vash the Stamped on the english dub of Trigun

I remember seeing that when it came on TV. Definitely wasn't one of the Turtles' better moments; in fact it's quite possibly the worst television appearance they've ever made. But it's kind of an interesting example of how misguided a crossover can be.

Plotholes abound (why, of all possible creatures on Earth Astronema could have picked to throw against the Rangers, did she pick the Turtles? Simple: so the "NT: NM" show could be promoted), a really generic teamup premise is used (one group of good guys is hypnotized to fight another, and they manage to overcome that and gang up on the villains by the end), and completely different voice actors are used for the Turtles than in their own show (probably out of necessity, but did they honestly think no one would notice when the voices are so drastically different?). And somehow they managed to make the Power Rangers in that episode less juvenile than the Turtles, even though both shows were aimed at the same target audience.

So yeah, I didn't think fondly of that episode. The one part I liked was after the Turtles broke out of the mind control and chased stronema and her army off the ship. They started celebrating, "We've got our own spaceship!" before they realized that's not a good thing and they're about to die.

Separately, I'm not the hugest fan of the Power Rangers, but I do like the Japanese sentai shows from which the PR shows borrowed footage, and I definitely liked "Power Rangers In Space". Most PR seasons I really couldn't care less about, but "In Space" made me care when they revealed that Astronema was the Red Ranger's sister Karone who'd been raised by Ecliptor, one of the series' villains. Ecliptor himself was really fascinating in that he wasn't a one-dimensional heartless monster; he'd actually raised Karone like a daughter and cared for her more than he cared about being a ruthless villain. But he raised her to be one because that's all he knew, and his capacity to care about her put him at odds with both the Rangers and with the other villains in the series. The show ended up being a bizarre and compelling custody battle with Karone/Astronema, and every indication was that it wasn't going to end well for at least one party involved. Not only was it a gut-wrenching experience for Andros, but it was equally gut-wrenching for Ecliptor because he could end up losing his daughter.

I have such fond memories of that season that recently Jade Green and I started an RPG campaign over AIM that basically retold the "Shell Shocked" episode with the same Rangers and a more competent approach to the Turtles (more in keeping with the 2K3 cartoon). So far it's been a load of fun having Raphael actually comment that Astronema looks like a porn star, and coming up with more legit reasons why Astronema would bother with recruiting the Turtles in the first place.

Yeah, I lead a weird life.

*Jade Green* · 10-14-2006, 01:57 PM

You lead a wierd life? Then mine's all out insane.

And all of this came from just using more originality and footage from a Sentai season that was based within a virtual reality programme and did'nt go into space at all. (Megaranger)

Power Rangers now, especially under Bruce Kalish, rarley pulls off things thnat were found in Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, and Dinothunder, most of it, like SPD and Mystic Force, are nothing short of translations of the Sentai counterparts. A good thing that the US is attempting a revival of the Masked Rider concept based on Kamen Rider Ryuki, PR fans need an alternative right now

*BigApple3AM* · 10-14-2006, 06:06 PM

I loved the original Power Rangers, though I can totally understand where Buslady is coming from. My old boss worked at some wb store or something and they played that animaniacs sing the states song all day everyday so now he hates animaniacs. I guess it's the same thing for you, plus if you were working when it came out you're way out of their target age group.

I think that's a lie, the porno thing. I heard that rumor from someone and it stuck with me until one day I was watching the original Power Rangers and I went to a PR forum and asked them if it was true and they practically shouted at me through the internet that she never did it.

I did some IMDB searching, none of these were asked by me so it must be a vicious rumor:
