Because Nickelodeon always have their shows go through a hiatus. This time, for Power Rangers, the hiatus started at episode 8.

I was going to say "because the people in charge of Nickelodeon's scheduling are lotus-eating bonobos with a steady supply of cognac and bath salts" but that works too.

So it IS on the part of Nickelodeon. Ya know Nick used to be run by competent people. Back in the 90s when the station was good. The first show I noticed that got the Nick treatment was Invader Zim. Nick didn't even like the show so they scheduled it at crappy times on purpose and it finally went on a permanent hiatus.

I didn't think it took that long to make a Power Rangers episode seeing as half the work is already done for them. lol

It's not anything new, every show goes on a hiatus at some point in its run. Power Rangers has been doing this with both seasons of Samurai and Megaforce, and it'll only continue with Dino Charge.

As much as people like to joke around about making a Power Rangers episode, it does take a bit of time to make, shooting new footage, ADR, getting from location to location, there's a lot of work put into this, much like every Toku show.

But filming for ALL of DC has wrapped up.

I haven't watched a single PR episode on Nick outside of the first few DC, but I got behind. I did not know they had stopped at episode 8. That is realy really dumb.

I believe they've wrapped up filming even for Dino Supercharge, so the production is far ahead of schedule. At least on Saban's side, there is no delay.

A couple production design images for Dino Charge. You can view them all here; http://www.traceycollins.net.nz/filmandtv.html
