The primary target market for "Power Rangers" is boys ages 5-9 (ish) and most of them probably wouldn't be willing to enjoy a show starring a girl.

They're making the same mistake Powerpuff Girls made. Assuming what the show is, instead of looking at the audiance. I know girls, and women, who watch and love Power Rangers. Just like alot more boys, and men, watched Powerpuff Girls. Yet they marketed it towards Girls solely.

I'm sure a series with a female lead COULD work but at the moment its an uphill battle against the standards of action programming.

A female Red Ranger could work, and would work. And it would bring more girls into watching the series. And yes they had to fight Disney for it, that's Disney. This is Nick. They love Girl-Power, have you seen their line-up recently? And there have been popular kids shows with female leads before, Paladin. Not exactly an uphill battle to something that already exists. Like Destroy said: Korra. Yes, it's not the same show as Power Rangers. That wasn't the point he was making. I think, correct me Destroy if I'm wrong, that the point he was making was it's an Action Show with a Female Lead. And is doing rather well. On the same network. And really? You never know untill you try. Power Rangers survived Disney and it can survive trying a female Red Ranger.
