I wonder if we can get another oriental person to play the yellow ranger and a black person to play the black ranger. All that was missing from the early episodes was some Indian guy as the red ranger.
As for the claim up above, while the original green ranger now is indeed a MMA fighter, Amy Jo Johnson isn't doing porn. In fact she is currently in Flashpoint on CBS. However, the yellow ranger bit it in a car crash and the black ranger was arrested for smacking his woman around and the red ranger has put on a good 40 pounds and looks like hell.

To be honest, I started losing interest somewhere during season 3. Which is why I said "the first 2-3 seasons". Maybe I would have liked season 4, but by then I had already stopped following it.Onyx Oblivion said:
Although I do think a revival could be pretty cool, they shouldn't air all of the old episodes again. everything about them is pretty terrible, and it's just nostalgia which makes us think of them quite so fondly (Yeah, I was watching Linkara's piece on them and it inspired me to watch the whole lot again. Bottom line, I thought they were pretty stupid and dull this time around)
But a proper rework, done well, could be a really good idea.

Don't you diss Kimberley, she's doing quite well away from that side.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
Thing is, when they started making MMPR serious, they lost the entire point of the series. It's MEANT to be insane with Putties etc.
Let's just hope they honor the original's memory and don't completely screw this up. My biggest fear is them going too far with the modernization and us ending up with some kinda horrific cross between halo and the original series (although I have to admit the idea of master chief meeting the original rangers does sound kinda sweet now that I think about it). Anyway let's hope this reboot allows a new generation of kids to grow up watching the series and buying EVERYTHING plastered with a power rangers logo.
P.S. I still have a fully working complete original megazord set in my bedroom. Anyone else have a few lying around or is that just me?

Is it sad that I knew all that? Because I'm feeling like I shouldn't know the plot of Power Rangers in detail.Hurr Durr Derp said:
Power Rangers was big in the UK! I remember the action figures and the segments on the news blaming it for increased violence in children. I don't remember much except for the giant robots.
I'm embarrassed that I used to watch that junk when I was 8. Almost every episode is the same: the painfully stupid sorceress decides to take over earth, sends the minions, minions get defeated, sends a monster, grows 200m in size, rangers call in transformers, beat monster. That crap was worse than mexican soap operas. I'm talking about the Mighty Morpin series. The show got better as it progressed, the actors started to actualy try to act. Time Force was the best IMO, as it had a cool main villain and the whole theme of mutants being oppressed by humans was pretty interesting. Alot better than being evil for the sake of evil like in Mighty Morphin.
Meh, I was into Animaniacs and other shows that didn't make my brain leak from my ears. I only ever watched it for it's pure camp value and to see what people can do with a straight face.
Power Rangers FTW! I never really liked the first series until Lord Z came in to it god he was awesome, In space and Turbo were the best for me I have a DVD called the ultimate rangers it has some of the best up to Wild force.
Sad? I don't know. Geeky, sure. But pretty much everyone on this board is geeky one way or another.Onyx Oblivion said:

And so a new generation may know the joys of guys in robot suits hitting each other while surrounded by model train scenery. Excellent.
