I watched it every day it was on, even the reruns, all of the way through the first half of Lost Galaxy. By then, I was sick of the show changing its cast members on a regular basis, and constant changing of the costumes and zords because by the time I finally would get the toys, it would be time for the next series. Hell, I did not even get the original Megazord and Dragonzord until my birthday in June of 94, not knowing that two months later, those zords were going to be obsolete.

I knew the show was taken from a Japanese show (it is pretty obvious to a Godzilla lover), but I did not know they changed series every year.

I am also kicking myself because I'm sure a lot of you remember how many bootlegs surged in cheap toystores advertising that they were selling Power Rangers. Well, there was a store that I went into that claimed they were selling just that, Power Rangers. I go over to the bin and started looking at the toys, looked through them, and yelled, "This is not Power Rangers, these are more knock-offs." They had five rangers, they all came with bikes, but there was no black ranger, only a green ranger which also looked nothing like the green ranger I knew. They were selling them for like $10 a piece. Years later, I come to find out, they were actually the DaiRangers with their bikes. If I knew then what I knew now, I would have had my dad buy them.
