"Power Rangers" PoDs

I think my recommended PoD was the cast change mechanism. The original way, of changing the actors now and then mid-way through seasons lent itself much more to allow fan favourite characters to flourish, a la Austin St John or Jason David Frank.

Some better version of Turbo needs doing as well!

PS. Just to outrightly brag, but these opportunities don't come up often enough...I have my MMPR Red Ranger helmet signed by both Austin St John and Steve Cardenas ;)
 
I was three when the show came out. I don't have many memories of watching it until I was 5. I recall actively watching it through Wild Force. I was too young to know how bad Turbo was. Just last year I re-watched the entire series from start to finish, including watching the last 9 seasons that I didn't watch while they aired. I gotta say this, although the original series will always hold a special place in my heart, the writing and acting did get tremendously better. Less one dimensional characters. I think the best PoD is for Disney not to buy it.

Or kill Sandy Frank before he adapted Gatchman as G-Force.
 
Weird thought just struck me -- what would it take to have Michael Bay direct a Power Rangers (reboot) movie sometime after 2000? (I think I just got a chill...)
 
What if Thuy Trang, may she rest in peace, hadn't died?
There are quite a few PR actors who have died, which makes sense given how long the show's been on.

I'm not sure it really matter's showwise though.

Frank began the process of bringing shows and making them Kiddish, just watch twenty minutes of G-Force and compare it to Gatchaman and you'll see.
So, you're suggesting we butterfly PR's existence totally?

That's no fun.

Ooh, another thought; Saban had apparently been shopping the show concept around for years before Fox Kids picked it up. Also, it seems Stan Lee had previously pitched a straight dub of Sentai back in the 80s. (scroll down a bit) Imagine one of those coming through.

Maybe it wouldn't matter much for the show. Though perhaps some sort of cameo appearance was possible at some point down the line. Also, from what I've heard, there's apparently a widely held fan belief that her character died in some off-screen event, and that this belief may have filtered into the show's production somehow. And with her alive, there'd be no reason to suspect that her character was dead.

We've actually had Sentai over a few times, in the Pennsylvania area and of course Hawaii who gets them only subbed.
 
I alway wanted to known what the POD in the Power Ranger Universe was. In the First season, The only one I watched, I would see Tokyo Tower in the background. I want to known how the Japanese economy went so bad that the japanese had to sell the tower to Angel City Ca.
