Those shows tended toward some common weaknesses, principally too many filler episodes / too insubstantial an overall plot. (I'm not implying, though, that these were bad shows or that people shouldn't enjoy them.) ToQger had a problematic premise: the Big Secret severely limited what kind of stories they could tell, and what the show could do with the core team for a lot of the series. Both Wizard and ToQger didn't really know what to do with many of their supporting casts. (There are exceptions, I know.) Wizard, Gokaiger, and Shinkenger had relatively (with some notable exceptions) bland main villains. Basically, each show had a reasonably series core flaw that could've been avoided with steadier hand guiding the show.

But that's just me worrying aloud. There are plenty of reasons to look forward to Zyouhger: the animal forms and essentially-alien cast COULD be really interesting. (Or they could be totally wasted, which Sentai has done a few times.) The 8-bit theme could produce some cool stuff. What little we know about the villains suggest they might not exclusively follow the often-repeated pattern of "Go forth, minion, and collect negative emotions!" There are a few indications that this series will try some New Stuff. Sometimes, creators with seemingly-average resumes have done some great stuff.

(Also, to be clear, I enjoyed most of the shows I was criticizing above. Also, most of those shows had strong casts, which is something we don't always get. I'm tentatively optimistic that we'll get a Sentai cast in which everyone's an at-least-good actor.)
