They aren't going to "ignore" Disney-era seasons.

When Saban took back Power Rangers from Disney, Tzachor was put back in the role of EP because of the success that he had from In Space-ish thru Time Force. He kept costs down, kept profits up, and generally delivered a decent season each year. Obviously, the work with Samurai has fallen a bit short in the near-decade since he last EP'd a season of Power Rangers.

There was a lot of "GRR" when Disney took over Power Rangers. Why? Because they shut the whole damn thing down. MMPR Productions was shut down by Disney once Saban sold Disney the rights (Wild Force was going to be the last season of Power Rangers, hence the final two episodes of that season titled "The End of the Power Rangers"). The EP (I can't believe I forgot his name, but Jackie was with him too) of Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder was the one to "save" Power Rangers by basically telling Disney how much money they could save by shifting to New Zealand, and Disney went with it as it was deemed "low risk, high reward".

Once Bruce Kalish took over starting with SPD, everything went south. Ratings began to tank, and Bruce even came out to say, "My job is to translate a Japanese show", basically stating that he had no desire for originality ... Power Rangers would be a English-version of Super Sentai. Taking Super Sentai, dumbing it down (can't think of a better phrase) for the demographic here in the United States while keeping it PC, you end up with seasons like Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, etc.

Bruce Kalish then left after Jungle Fury and Disney tried to shut down Power Rangers again. But they had a year remaining on their contract with the studios in New Zealand, and with a little pushing from Bandai (and rumored money infusion?), Eddie G was brought on and is on record as saying:

"I was told I had free reign to do whatever I wanted - this was going to be the last season of Power Rangers. Best case scenario was the show airs for the entire season."

So as you can see, there's some disdain from Saban Brands (who CREATED the show) towards Disney who WANTED the show, but only to basically get rid of it from existing. So maybe it's not so much Tzachor being an egomaniac as it is him defending the people that lost their jobs when Disney took over Power Rangers, as well as defending the legacy that MMPR Productions created which Disney shipped overseas and tried to destroy.

IN SHORT ... you will see Disney-era shit. It's fresh in kids minds (well, the 2 seasons that you could see). Plus, they wouldn't have reruns of Disney-era shows on Nicktoons and CW2 (in the future) if they REALLY didn't want to give any love to the Disney-era.

Tzachor may hate the Disney seasons ... just like I hate some people in my family. But at the end of the day, they're still my family, and those seasons still exist in the 20 years of Power Rangers.
