Because I think they need a sponsor. Yes, this makes the brand even more commercialized and even harmful, but at the same time, many other brands are guilty of the same thing.

Harmful in what way specifically?

If a sponsor gets into some kind of scandal, it will somehow affect everyone involved. Plus, almost everything has side effects and contraindications that are not indicated in advertising. And in general, the world now has a lot of popular, but, at best, useless products, organizations and ideas.
But, again, keep in mind that I spent my early years in a country where advertising did not exist at all, so my view on this issue is slightly different.

yeah another mistake in my view

Would've like to seen how WB would have dealt with the Power Rangers brand if they bought FOX Family in 2001.

We probably would've gotten Eldar, a look into the life of young Zordon, or Greg Berlanti's Angel Grove. :lolol

There's a lot of overlap between the methods of Saban Entertainment and the Cannon Group. I'd advise looking into the documentary Electric Boogaloo: the Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films for more, but basically the idea was that they were always moving forward with another project, putting in just enough money into a given project to get a good return on it so they could make the next, and eventually they'd land a huge hit.

Which Saban did. Power Rangers was never intended to be Saban's flagship, end product, it was just the one that did well enough to allow them to do the others. Putting more money into it would mean less to put into the rest.

That seems like such a backwards way of going about things. While making multiple projects is common sense for a production company, the idea to let a successful franchise simply coast along on bare minimum to hope to get another hit is just risky gambling.

PR was an overnight sensation, and Saban should've used that opportunity to really bring the brand to newer heights, rather than shoddily attempt to recapture that lightning in a bottle. The fact that, even after becoming a billion dollar brand, the show's budget remained absolutely microscopic astounds me.

Remember...this is a guy who freely shafted his actors to the point that some of them left voluntarily cause he wasn't willing to budge in terms of payouts!

He was never willing to put in too much cause he was solely focused on the returns. I give him credit in one thing, and that's the Valerie Vernon thing cause I think he did come correct there.

Yeah for sure I think that's what the franchise needed. Plus Power Rangers would've been on Kids WB with shoes like Pokemon, Yugioh, Xmen, and etc. Probably gets to air on Cartoon Network and WB Family.

A young adult show in the same vine as supernatural and Smallville that would focus on MMPR would be pretty cool. The show probably gets moved to Canada since Smallville was already shooting the show there. Which means the Wild Force Ninja Storm crossover would happen!
