RPM is hilarious. The best thing about it is that the humor is very smart. Nothing outlandishly slapstick, the jokes are very subtle and sarcastic.

I watched the first few episodes of RPM on Netflix and was not impressed. Seemed like it was trying entirely too hard to be Super Serious (TM), and that tone did not match the Japanese footage at all.
Alternately, I checked out the first few eps of Go-Onger (TVN sub) and really enjoyed it. It's fun and silly and entertaining. This is one case, for me anyway, where the localization failed because it was trying to make a serious show out of a fun one, rather than the usual motif of making a funny show out of a serious one. Still, it's cool that we can sit down and watch whole seasons of Power Rangers so easily (at least in the US). That's such a boon to me. Give RPM through Episode 16 ... if you don't love it by then, I'll concede my argument

Well Judd Lynn didn't have much choice seeing how the guy he replaced ate up the budget quicker then Homer Simpson at a 'all you can eat' restaurant. Heck Eddie even fired members of the RPM production staff just so he could use there saleries to hide his budget mistakes from Disney.

Finally watching it. Damn, this show is relentlessly entertaining.
Dr. K may now be my favorite tokusatsu character. Sorry, Zaruba.

Dr. K, in my opinion, is the best mentor Power Rangers has ever had, and Power Rangers has had som good mentors in the past. Besides being hilariously entertaining, her character development is very well done and she's very sympathetic. I would argue that Dr. K is the secret ingredient that makes RPM standout among other excellent series.

I actually haven't really delved into Power Rangers as an adult before this, but after I posted that, I watched the Dr. K focused episode, and damn, she's got some layers. Her and Flynn are definitely my favorites.
Also, can someone please clarify: who did the action direction for the new footage? Wikipedia says it was the guy who took over for Sakamoto after Disney got PR, but these action scenes are very Sakamoto-esque. The framing, the kineticism, even some of the moves are staples of his.

Koichi was VERY involved in RPM. There's an episode where Scott and Ziggy save an Asian woman and her baby from some Grinders in a park. That woman? That's Koichi's wife.
