I don't care about filler as long as it is good. Gargoyles has amazing filler. Some Sentai filler is good, some is bad. The majority of Zyu's filler is enjoyable, but there are a chunk of episodes right in the teens where it isn't. The Genie one comes to mind. However, 2-3 bad filler episodes does not make an entire show bad. If you aren't enjoying the show though, you don't have to continue.

Hell, I gave up on ToQ after 5 episodes, Gosei after 9 (three times in a row), and Dynaman after 10. That to me qualifies them as the worst Sentai series ever. If someone cannot make it past the first 10 episodes of Zyu, they shouldn't force themselves to do so. I love Zyu, and I think people are crazy for not liking it, but they probably think I am crazy for not liking ToQ and Gosei. I know I argue with Locke all of the time, but we both have entirely different tastes as the series he loves, I hate. The series he hates, I love. I wouldn't expect him to like Kamen Rider Black either as Black is in my top 5 favorite KR shows of all time.

Nevertheless though, kids should be able to get good stories out of cartoons just as much as books. Not everyone reads well, and when someone does not read well, they try to avoid reading. As much as we don't want to acknowledge that, it is the fact. I know parents who were upset that their child only wanted to read comics even though that meant they were still reading. The parents did not see it that way though, which is a shame as THEY ARE STILL READING!! Regardess, a cartoon should still be balanced between strong stories with strong character development and filler.
