TokuKnight, I get what you are trying to say, I really do, but doing something like this would still cost money and without merch to make that money back, there is no reason to go on this venture. That is exactly how Saban Brands would respond while also saying that it is a cool idea.

Having the show on late defeats the purpose of it being a kids' show. That would aim toward the adult demographic and I am sure that Nick would not air it. They just wouldn't. If this stuff went online (where Saban and nick could sell the advert dollars to help fund it) that could be more realistic, but it still wouldn't make enough to justify it's production.

And VR Troops, Mystic Knights, and those other toku shows that Saban did weren't direct competition to Power Rangers. They were all different shows that appealed to different audiences. That is why only one of those is still on the air. Even in Japan, those shows don't/didn't compete because they attract different audiences and are marketed to different audiences.

The Legacy line is marketed to adult collectors, the main toy line (that gets a wider release and at a much more affordable price point) is where the vast majority of the toy money comes from. Look at it this way; there are tons of people that want to collect all the figures and zords from a season. Those are released across two years. A person spends more on buying five rangers, the main megazord, the villain figure, and the henchman than they do on one TRU exclusive megazord. That is why Legacy line toys are sparsely released whereas main line toys are hammered away over the course of 24 straight months.

And starting a legendary line of toys wouldn't garner as much money as you think. Five teams of rangers (20 figures) four megazords (if they even do those since they weren't seen in the show...they could just say it was before megazords were a thing), and potential for figures of the villains and allies during the footage of their backstory. Sure, let's get a pregnant Rita 5 inch figure. That would look...awkward as shit on a display. Or have an episode where the Zeo rangers are just hanging out before karate tournament at the beginning of the Turbo movie. Or a young Ninjor fig (I would actually buy that, so that is a legit idea) and why he chose dinos for the original power coins (or were they since there were five previous teams?).

This show just isn't a smart business venture. Even with great fan support, I think Saban Brands would not even consider doing it. Would Chip Lynn run this? Cause he is busy on the regular season, but you know who is available and a family friend of Haim Saban's? Jonathan Tzachor; consider that for a sec. All of your ideas as handled by JT. Let it sink in.

So if Nick wouldn't air it, the toy line wouldn't make enough money to sustain the show, JT could end up as the show runner, and the big wigs at Saban wouldn't see the profit in producing the show, I would think that it wouldn't happen. The best bet (read that as cheapest option for Saban Brands) is to address this stuff in the comic books as MrHerofan stated.
