Pretty much this. Power Rangers came out during the early 90s and it was a kids show that people never really saw before. You had giant robots, people fighting monsters in rubber suits while having High School stuff in the mix of it. Power Rangers will never reach the same level of popularity that it once had. However, the show is still popular with kids. Saban in 2011 did help bring it back to the mainstream eye again. I remember during the Disney era, the show had bad time slots and little-to-no marketing.

Yes, and to add to what you said, I was also thinking maybe the setup somewhat resembling shows like Saved By The Bell and to an extent Archie Comics also helped as well maybe?

Can't imagine it hurt it. "Oh it's live action like a sitcom but it has action like a cartoon!" wasn't a new concept at that point but it was still a novel one. I think Godzilla was in the process of or had just had a resurgence in popularity in the US and abroad (from Japan's perspective) as well?

Did Saban sell Power Rangers to Disney because they (he?) needed the money?

I heard that Fox family channel debt was huge and Disney purchase by 3 billions.

Saban didn't sell Power Rangers specifically. Disney bought out Fox Family, which included Power Rangers.

Saban was actually taken back on the purchase if I recall correctly. Apparently Saban Entertainment brand was a subdivision of the Fox Family Company, a former asset of the now defunct 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, and when Fox sold it to Disney, that included the Fox Family Network (ABC Family, now Freeform), Fox Kids, and Saban Entertainment, among other assets. Basically Saban had his company ripped from under him and sold to Disney. That's why in the 2000's we saw more independent production companies that signed exclusive deals with studios instead of starting up within a studio to prevent such a business transaction from occurring, at least until the owners decide to sell or go public.
