Well good writing...it's not as if mighty morphin was leaps and bounds better than any other series, so it's more then just the writing that did it. i kinda feel like a big part of it was really just the fact that MMPR was for most of us the first time we saw a tv a show like that as kids, it was diffrent from anything else on tv and anything that came before it. so perhaps it's just the unavoidable issue of that new shine being worn of so badly the general audience is immune to it's appeal nowadays.

I feel like the moments the suits changed (zeo) a lot of people collectivly said ( that's not our PR anymore..and slowly faded away,altho new fans got hooked and some big fans stayed) western audiences tend to be picky about change and accepting it, we had known the original suits and actors for so long and many of us felt so attached to them that the sudden design change and roles changing,altho it is a tradition of sentai (but 95% of us had no clue back then) put them of actually. i'm basing this on how i felt,altho i was mixed on it as a kid, i liked to see new stuff but i also never really got over the fact that everything was so diffrent all of a sudden, and also on how my schoolfriends reacted, almost none of us really liked zeo and it always felt a little weird seeing our rangers like that, and just by the time we got a little used and warmed up to it,it changed again into turbo and that's when it became painfully obvious that PR became more of a yearly fashion show rehashed instead of the bad ass show we knew it to be.

Yes there is more and better things on tv which doesn't help the cause but there is more behind it imo, it's not as if we had no other good tv shows back then, with gi joe being a craze, transformers, turtles, you name it, we were spoiled as kids just as much as they are today. i think it's also because we got 3 seasons worth of MM AND a movie, that the suits and actors meant so much, this was bigtime,their place in peoples minds was cemented and then they went and changed suits and colors and the world let out a collective "HUH??" it seems and something got lost forever. even in 2012, when i go to a comic convention and there are cosplayers dressed as the original MMPR, they get swamped by people, adults & kids alike, that want to hug them and take photos, infact yesterday we had our annual F.A.C.T.S convention which is something like our european comic con i guess, and there were red,green,blue,black and white MMPR cosplayers, they had to stop every 2 minutes to pose it seems, then another red, gosei red ( i think it may have been the same guy as mmpr,i think he brought 2 suits and changed mid day) and when he walked around, well...sure some pics were taken but it night & day. and it's not just because a lot of people don't reckognize that suit yet,i've seen other rangers cosplay at facts before and the result is always the same, no MMPR = not much interest by onlookers, MMPR = you own the place..
