For the life of me, I cannot understand why I loved this show as a child. I watched this religiously, and I remember its overnight popularity. Every morning on Fox 5 kids club, I was glued to MMPR, and when it ended my day pretty much sucked throughout school until it came on again in the afternoon.  If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching a show, its ok – because every episode is the exact same, and I will explain to you each and every episode. These guys made millions for a show, that had terrible special effects, every episode the same, and in general is pure garbage. I’m just really bitter. Then again its a kids show, not Bravo.

How every episode goes:

• Show opens with awesome theme music, downhill from there.
• The guys upstairs decide to create a monster based off what the power rangers are doing.
• Putties are summoned and each ranger fights them off in their respective style (after morphing). The black ranger usually defeats one in some sort of break dance battle and it ends up exploding, the pink ranger ends up doing gymanstics – the putty gives up and kills himself, the blue ranger just runs like a pansy until someone who knows how to fight helps him, as for the other three rangers – they actually know… kung-fu. The yellow one being asian, naturally knows kung-fu and the other two may have picked it up at sometime or another.
• The monster shows up after the putties are defeated, a fight goes on at regular size, and once the Rangers seems to have the upper hand, Rita super sizes the monster.
• The power rangers then summon their dinosaurs, morph into the ultra supreme awesome super megazord.
• The giant monster and the Zord fight for awhile, the Zord slowly losing.
• Zord does power move, monster is destroyed.
• Rita bitches.
• Very very very very bad joke to end the show.

Random reasons why the show is stupid:

• Zordon requests Alpha to find “teenagers with attitude”, so what does Alpha do? He gets 5 kids who are hanging out at a juice bar. Why not get 5 kids from Compton or South Central.
• The show is racist.
• The special effects were terrible.
• Rita’s voice never went with what she was saying.
• The plot line is hilarious, some lady is trapped for ten thousand years, and the first thing she wants to do when she is out is destroy the nearest planet.
• This show has more loopholes than a basketball net.

1. Why doesn’t Rita attack some place other than Angel Grove?
2. Why don’t the monsters just squash the monster during the 10 minute period their dinosaurs are being summoned?
3. Why do Bulk and Skull hang out with the Power Rangers if they hated them so much?
4. Why didn’t Rita just make like 80 monsters?
5. WHY IS THE THEME SONG SO FLIPPIN CATCHY?

I do wish I had better things to do than bash some kids show.
