It managed to cling to life from around Wild Force onward as the kids who grew up with it at its start and height aged out of the franchise, and got a boost with Samurai and Megaforce/Super Megaforce, but after Dino Charge things died down considerably.

Running a piece of media is no different from caring for a plant. You have to actually nurture it, feed it, allow it room to grow, or it will inevitably die, even the ones that are sold as low-maintenance. Nobody who owned Power Rangers was really interested in doing that, and that's why we're here having this discussion.

Okay what if Saban sold Power Rangers to Newscorp/FOX instead of Disney. Do you think the franchise would be in a bettter place? I know Murdoch did want to buy Saban a few times.
