Don't forget RPM. I still haven't gotten over how awesome that season was

*cough cough* operation overdrive *cough*

Oh there are worse seasons, and those equally as bad, but I hate how Power Rangers has a certain stigma around it. A stigma that later seasons tried to prove wrong or at least pull themselves above or away from but rather than shouting those from the rooftops, they continue to circle jerk MMPR which only confirms and fortifies the stigma.

It's nostalgic for all of us, part of all of our childhoods and for most of us it's the reason we are here now but that doesn't mean we should put it ahead of later seasons, that had actual stories, characters or whatever else.

What could possibly be worse than Overdrive?

RPM was awesome, but it underpreformed.
In Space and Time Force had good ratings, though.

I couldn't agree more. We got some great shows after MMPR finished and the fact that all this great history is being ignored because of said nostalgia is disheartening. It's almost like the Transformers fandom sadly enough.

It's not an attitude man, it's facts. The reason why MMPR is getting the push is because it is the one celebrating 20 years and it effected more kids than the other individual seasons did on their own. Plus the story and characters continued on past MMPR into Zeo and Turbo. I was a young kid at the time and I can tell you personally that not even Zeo had the same craze going for it. And like I said as time goes on TV shows have smaller audeinces because there are more of them on to watch but I guess you didn't read that post.

No where in there did I say that thought MMPR was the best. It's pretty much unwatchable now unless you are laughing at it or getting nostalgic over certain episodes. That isn't the point. The point is that these companies are interested in marketing what will get them the most money. They've done the research and they know MMPR casts a wide net for them. I would be hard to sell Time Force or RPM as a flagship to the suits that make the decisions about what to push. The world at large doesn't view things the same way fans do.

I wish the better seasons got more attention and maybe they will one day when it's been 20 or 25 years for them. I sadly doubt it but we can hope.

Err... no, it is celebrating twenty years of the franchise, not twenty years of MMPR, that is the problem here. Hence my saying that you are permeating the attitude that is causing all the problems.

MMPR isn't the most important series in the franchise, it's just the most nostalgic for our generation. There are millions of kids out there who grew up with other seasons and don't care about MMPR but it seems we're blinded by our own nostalgia which inflates our own sense of importance.
