Yeah, but what I mean is that MMPR just happened to come out at the right time when there was nothing else like it on TV. It featured robot dinosaurs, super heroes, cool looking alien monsters, and was in live action. It was like UltraSeven and Super Inframan, but better. It came out after Jurassic Park ruled the summer and was something entirely new. Anything after (which is why I also think VR Troopers, Masked Rider, and Beetleborgs failed) was no longer new and felt like it was just trying to cash in on the MMPR success. MMPR caught everyone off guard. It also helps that there was no internet to ruin it for us back then.
