Yes, Power Rangers was cheesy as hell, but it had (sometimes) cool monsters and martial arts fighting. When you're a kid, that's all you need. Fuck, I watched the show specifically because they brought in a single character, that's the simple-mindedness of childhood!
Yeah, the martial arts fights were pretty much what everyone I knew watched it for.
I also remember hearing about all the controversy of the show as a kid and I never got it because in my mind, I thought "violence" was only chalked up to blood and guts.
Yeah, fuck this.
While I may have liked the show when I was little, this is one of those shows that you just watched as a kid 'cause you simply did not know any better and… well... were basically a moron when it comes to quality entertainment.
No form of nostalgia will ever save Power Rangers to me. All it reminds me is how devoid of taste I was when I was little. -_-;
Right now, the finale of RPM is on. And that means MMPR Remastered starts next week.
So here the listings for the first 2 months wroth of episodes.

And remember the time listing is est standred time.
Awesome. The best of the whole series was the first three seasons.
Maybe I'll give my childhood a treat. How are they remastered exactly?
They pretty much clean up all the episodes. And another interesting thing about this, a lot of these MMPR episodes haven't aired for like 12 - 13 years.
…
Crispin Freeman has a bad attitude?

Aww, thought they'd be HD. Yes, I know it's old but that hasn't stopped anyone. Hell, The Wizard of Oz is HD now. As long as they have the uncompressed prints and time you can more or less HD anything with nice results.

Pure publicity. All the orignal shows got rerun not that long ago on Fox ABC Family. Advertised as "Classic" Power Rangers.
…or so I've heard.

Not every episode of MMPR haven't aired on ABC Family runs of the older episodes (Since they only aired certian episodes in their Best of the Power Rangers lineup thing) for example "Foul Play in the Sky" haven't aired since 1999.
On this page right it tell when certian episode last aired. Out of the first 11 episodes, 6 of the episodes haven't aired since 1997 - 1999.
Well today is finally here is here. The first two episodes of MMPR Season 1 remastered is airing.
If you missed it, here is the MMPR 2010 opening theme. And they did keep the Today on Power Rangers segment.

I gave up on Power Rangers after Turbo. That girly-boy kid was fucking annoying!

That was stupid. Why did they put that crappy Go! Go! on the screen? (Unless that was in the original, but I'm QUITE sure it wasn't.)

Definitely wasn't in the original, none of the 'pause/cutout' moments were; but they did make a few changes. Here's the original opening:

From what I can notice, for the new opening they:
It's not bad, actually. The only change I'm not liking are those silly 'Go Go Power Ranger' cutout scenes. But the 'remastered' colors look good. :D
Probably once we hit the Green with Evil mini series, take out one of the Go Go Power Rangers for Tommy.
Here is much better quality verison of MMPR 2010 opening.

Not really sure how I feel about the 'updated' version. I think I'd have preffered the money go to releasin' Season sets.
A little treat for you guys, something you may have joked about…

Doesn't look particularly remastered to me.
I wonder why they want to show the old Powr Rangers and not make this Sentai
into the next show I bet they just don't want to be in the money anyway I don't care Super Sentai is far better.@Mega:

after this that opening, i'm very impressed. (which is something cause i never even watched the senpai series at all…ever)
i think disney decided not to do another one cause it might wreck the series.
If you like the genre, you should. Shinkenger would be a good start, it's the best sentai i've seen in years.
Dunno how much of that is true, but i remember reading that Disney actually wanted to finish their adaptations two years ago, after the "Jungle Fury" season - but contract bindings with Toei forced them to produce an extra one. In any case, the remastered MMPR is a much safer, cheaper bet.

Yes Shinkenger was cool and it is a good start for new fans I wonder if Goseiger will be any good
WHY…WONT IT STOP!
New report states that this version will only last 32 episodes. Whether 32 random or just the first 32 straight isn't said yet.
I think it's Tony Oliver but, I'm not too certain.. whoever it is said that fans might not like what he did to "Green with Evil"
And goty, that's correct. Personally, I'm glad they went the extra season. JF's season ending wasn't that good.
Lol at Tommy and his gay flute/sword.
What was I thinking as a child?
Hmm i was at the store today and I saw the 2010 Dino Megazord for sale, so I bought to check it out and maybe give it to one of my nephews for their birthday or something….
I have to say i prefer the old one better....

Watching the first part of the episode brought this instantly to my mind. I mean, wow.
So the raw episode 1 of Goseiger is now out
so far it looks ok don't know if it will be as good as Shinkenger.All I can say is wow, JDF kinda sounds like a dick after listing to this (And trust me, when I was a kid I was a huge Tommy fan). There some MMA talk in it, but mostly focus on his Power Rangers related stuff. Warning: There are some very long rants about Austin St. John (Jason).

I hope sooner or later that Amy Jo and David Yost comes out tell us there opinions about like this stuff and other things. Since they are like the last two of the original cast that haven't been around fans in years.
Didn't Amy die in a car crash?
no that was the oiginal yellow ranger, Thuy Trang….
LOS ANGELES — Media mogul Haim (hah-EEM) Saban (suh-BAHN) is buying back from Disney the fist-pumping, multicolored superheroes known as the Power Rangers. He's hoping to launch the enduring franchise into a higher orbit.
New episodes kicking off the 18th season of the show will play on Viacom-owned cable channels Nickelodeon and Nicktoons next spring.
A catalog of 700 older episodes will hit Nicktoons later this year.
A new movie, video games and toys are also in the works.
The Egyptian-born entrepreneur made his fortune by licensing the Japanese characters and selling remade shows around the world.
The Walt Disney Co. bought Fox Family Channel, which included the Power Rangers, from News Corp. and Saban in 2001. The deal, worth $5.2 billion, brought Saban $1.5 billion for his stake.
I thought the Power Rangers were dead and buried years ago.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT.
…I am speechless.
Addition information stuff. Maybe with this we could finally get seasons sets on dvd. Hell they going to start airing the original 700 episodes on Nicktoon tv later this year. Hopefully regular nick also airs the reruns of the older seasons as well the newer season.

From this artcle looks like we might be getting a new Power Rangers movie as well.
I bet Shinkenger will be the new season I hope it will not be like Shinkenger at all the best Power Rangers are the ones not like the sentai shows imo.
Yeah, the rumor is going around that its going to be Shinkenger. All I'm hoping for is that we get Seasons boxsets of the older seasons (I really want to own the Zordon Era (Season 1 - 6), Time Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Spd, Mystic Force, and RPM).
For me just the Zordon Era and Time Force that was the one show that was like the sentai one and good.
I do not view this as a good thing. Sure, I grew up watching the Power Rangers but ever since I found out what Saban did to the Super Sentai series to make Power Rangers, I just can't look at it the same way. I was hoping there would be no more and Sentai would go unraped.
Super Sentai and Power Rangers are different shows, but with same footage, costumes, and giant robots.
Eh, if they get rid of the goddamn Silver Age sound effect pop ups in the Mighty Morphin' remastering, I'll be happy.

So basically the same shows?
@Cyan:

Watching Jetman right now (even if that's the season before Zyuranger), the answer is…not quite. They use the same stock footage for the fights but the Japanese story goes one way and the American one goes another.
Somehow I am happy Saban is getting PR back considering he was the one who came up with it in the first place and Disney just went "well we might as well keep it going"...Though this makes one wonder: Shikenger or Goseiger?

Well Sentai has better characters
The one thing that sentai, don't have is Bulk and Skull. ^_^

I wonder if production will move back to LA? It'd be cool if all of the old voice talent could return too.
