I was two months shy of turning 2 when the first series debuted. So I was under the demographics when I started watching it. I remember other parents scolding my parents for letting me watch Power Rangers saying it was too violent and I was too young. Funny enough I have watched children's entertainment from the 1950's through 1980's both in my youth and more recently and found the violence isn't much different from shows like Davy Crockett or The Incredible Hulk. And let's not forget the high popularity of westerns and exploration films in the 1950's and 1960's and spy thrillers and space operas in the 1970's and 1980's popular among children of those respected eras. Both had a shear amount of violence and use of practical looking weapons as oppose to the more sci-fi/fantasy nature of Power Rangers (save for the space operas).
Today Power Rangers is more socially acceptable level of violence compared to other children's entertainment, but is considered socially unacceptable for the cheesy nature. I remember being in pre-school and Kindergarten Power Rangers was cool. But in 4th-5th grade it was uncool and seen as something for "little babies" much like Barney or Blues Clues. I do know from my experience from working at TRU the majority of people buying Power Rangers merchandise were young adults nostalgic for MMPR and grandparents of extremely young kids. Like Thomas the Tank Engine and Sesame Street age kids. So the targeted demographic mocks the show for being "cheesy" while it's the bees knees to anyone currently being potty trained. That's at least my experience.
