When I was very, very young, my favorite show on television was power rangers. Now it's the butt of television. What do you guys think happened?

I was a big fan of the original power rangers. I currently have a putty drawn on my fishtank, beside the word "morphenomenal". What a great word. :lol:

I have no idea. I remember liking them when I was 8 and 9. But then they changed the series and I didn't like it so I lost interest. I liked the old school kind.

The power rangers are now tainted by one of their own good guys gone bad.

Oh... I still like them. Heh. I didn't much care for the downhill tumble that it went through after the original series, but once it was picked up by Disney and they moved to the 'every season is it's own show' format, it was much better, not quite as good, but still decent.

I watched the original series back when I was a kid, but I remember the specific point I stopped liking it was when the first movie came out. I saw it with a friend and thought "Why the hell do I watch this crap?"

I used to like it as a kid, but started growing out of it during the Turbo season. However, the first series has a special place in my heart just because of...

that. It was the very first mecha that I've ever seen. I was fascinated by it not just because it was a giant robot, but also because of how each of the five dinosaur mecha would combine into one super mecha. I love the first Megazord so much, I actually bought the toy of it from Target recently.

I still have that toy as well. I'd have to fight my brother about who it technically belongs to, but it's currently in my room so I say it's mine. :lol:

I've got a few others as well.

I watch them to remember Tammy, my late wife.

She LOVED Power Rangers.

I remember when it first came on television. People were going absolute nuts for the toys at Christmas; people grabbing handfuls of Power Rangers stuff off the shop shelves. It was insane.

I remember when I was young it was quite cool, though I don't remember a lot, one of the episodes I remember the most was when the white and gold evil ranger destroyed the base, but then he ended up a good guy and became my favirout. Me and my brother had different toys that we would play with.

I remember the original Power Rangers. I used to watch them with the neighbourhood kids, that I used to babysit, before I started working at the diving gear factory. That was a pretty awesome series. I remember when the Power Rangers were cool. 8)

I remember when other people thought that Power Rangers was cool. I never thought it was cool. (sorry) I just thought it was a rip off of Voltron.

(Voltron was cool.)

I loved Power Rangers when I was a kid. The original PRs were cool, but then they messed them up, and I lost interest.
