It was, Kamen Rider Black RX and Ryuki were both repurposed badly for American audiences. They weren't a hit.
Sabans Masked Rider Dragon Knight I know one day I'll have watched every series and movie that is Kamen Rider,...and like a junkie I'll sniff out those two shows and eventually watch them too. From the reviews and from what friends have told me though they're not good. Though I did read one review where a guy was saying the American version of Dragon Knight was better than the Japan version of Ryuki. *shrugs*...who knows, I've only seen Ryuki.

well that's two people saying Dragon Knight wasn't that bad.
I liked Ryuki but think half of it was filler. I liked it but so far it's been my least favorite Kamen Rider series. Not that it was bad so much as I just think others were better. |

Make that 3. I liked Dragon Knight. They used the suits and told their own story with it, while keeping to the original plot device of eliminations.

Probably due to the fact that the series flop twice here in the US. There is no market for it. People look at any Toku superhero series and turn off by it for looking like Power Rangers. The only way for a American Rider series to do well is to do a original Kamen Rider show with no Japanese footage and suits.

Actually there is a reason it didn't do very well in the states. The show was set at weird hours and was changed several times plus some cw stations didn't air it instead running local programing over it, as such it wasn't seen frequently. In addition the toy line was very late and had extremely poor distribution and didn't make it into stores in the south east until the series was almost over and had stopped being shown on local stations.
And with out better promotion the series died Kamen rider dragon knight is passable its weak not great but ok masked rider is terribly written as it makes episodes more about the standard fish out of water story as dex is an alien-seriously why is it always aliens. I think the show could have found solid ground by marketing itself to preteens/teenagers who wanted something similar to Power Rangers, but a bit more mature thematically. Maybe in that little area where shows like Yu-Gi-Oh and Teen Titans thrived.
