We need a modern day Sugimura.

Because Super Sentai more then just a show, its a franchise. A franchise that, despite having been on the air for over 30 years, has proven time and time again it capable altering itself to fit whatever era its in and still be successful. Its also a known brand with over 40 teams to choose from for marketing and merchandise that both children and adults all over the world love in some way, shape, or form. What is Metal Hero? An old super hero show from the 80s and 90s that most people probably don't know a thing about outside of Gavan and *maybe* Sharivan and Shaider. You can't just slide Metal Hero into Sentai's place and pretend nothing's different.

Besides, what would taking the show off the air fix? The show changes almost completely every single year. A new cast, a new writer, everything. The problems you listed off are things that have less to do with the show itself and more to do with Toei as a company. Watching none Toei Tokusatsu and comparing them to whatever Toei is doing that year is proof enough that every company has it own style no matter who the writer or director is. Taking the show off the air, or putting up a new one in its place, would at best be simply be old problems with a new coat of paint. An changes to *fix* the show can be made without missing a year.

Besides, who are you to say the show isn't working anymore? I've heard plenty of people say they like Zyuohger and Kyuranger and, toy sales wise, the only shows since Gokaiger that I know have been failures were Go-Busters and Ninninger. Kyoryuger and Toqger were both successful, I haven't heard of Zyuohger being anything other then average, and Kyuranger been doing pretty good so far. The only show that seems to have been a failure in every way was Ninninger.
