Was there a time when you, if ever, stopped watching Power Rangers? Did you come back? And what sent you away and, if you did come back, what brought you back?
I stopped watching every episode midway through Alien Rangers. After that I caught episodes here and there. I remember watching the first ten or so of Zeo. Then coming back for Jason. Then leaving again after seeing what a mess the Turbo Movie was. I was hoping for the original movie.. and got that. I didn't come back watching each and every episode again until Lost Galaxy. That season saved my MMPR fanboyism. The only time after that I missed an episode was when it switched from Fox to ABC Family during Wild Force because I didn't have cable at the time. But I had it just before Ninja Storm started and watched them all since. I will say this. Samurai, Megaforce (Some of it), and all of Super Megaforce are making me question my fanboyism again. |

I watched from MMPR all the way up to Samurai.
Honestly, Samurai isn't even that bad. I would've honestly continued since I've endured worse seasons before. What stopped me from watching Nick's eclectic airing schedule. 3 episodes, then 9 month wait? Ridiculous... As a kid I enjoyed Turbo. As an adult I still enjoyed Turbo, so unlike many a fan *Glares at Linkara* I didn't start doomsaying because of Turbo.

I've fallen in and out of Power Rangers a lot. I watched the original series up through Zeo, but when Turbo started I just couldn't get into it: kid Ranger, stupid car Zords, Bulk and Skull as monkeys... the show lost me pretty fast. I drifted back in during In Space, though, and really enjoyed that. That time I stuck with it through most of Lost Galaxy, but I fell out of that by the end. I didn't come back until years later, when one of my friends started talking about how the show was bringing Tommy back. That's where my current toku kick started, although it wouldn't really become a major fandom for me until I discovered Kamen Rider. Unfortunately, I just can't stand the new Saban PR shows - I dropped out of Samurai, Megaforce, and Super Megaforce after only 2-3 episodes of each.

I didn't watch Turbo as it originally aired and never seen a single ep of Lightspeed Rescue, but this was due to not having the right channel and not due to lack of interest.
I stopped watching seriously after Overdrive, it was aired in a weird schedule, and they always showed the same few eps. |

I personally only got into RPM and I only occasionally watch Super Megaforce if there's nothing to watch on TV.

I NEVER stopped watching. I always watch whenever it's on.

Thankfully I quit during Wild Force and returned for SPD. So I saved myself the awfullness of Wild Force, Ninja Storm,and most of Dino Thunder (which did have some good bits). Then Overdrive killed it for me again aside from the awesome and ridiculous "Once A Ranger" crossover. Haven't really liked anything since then though.

I started with Disney and pretty much watched it all as much as I could, I know Ninja Storm through Jungle Fury, but around the time of Jungle Fury, I was in middle school and my parents thought I should grow up and out of the toys and stuff for kids. Even Transformers. So I went about 2 years without a toy much at all. Or watching Power Rangers, though it didnt help RPM kinda went nowhere for me to watch. Then I picked back up about halfway through Super Samurai. Same time I joined up here and I started Megaforce with everyone else. That was a fun time to get back into the fandom... But I am not giving up and hope to continue with Dino Charge
Although I did see most of the previous seasons thanks to Jetix showing the old ones. One of the things I liked better of the Disney era than our current one.
