For example, I got bored of Go-Busters early, I was disappointed by Kyoryu, I thought ToQ was dumb, and Ninnin was just not engaging to me, so that's 4 Sentai in a row that I just didn't enjoy.

I will agree that the complaining has been going a little too far, but after watching shows like Gekiranger, Dairanger, and Jetman, I feel Sentai can do so much more than having heroes screaming in front of the camera. So when I watch a current Sentai that doesn't live up to the standards Toei has already set with Sentai past, it can be a little disheartening.

I agree but the older shows (although still for kids) were more for families to watch together. Hey had a better time slot for the whole family to watch as a unit instead of just turning it on for the kids. I think sentai had a great run starting with Maskman and going through GoGo-V. They can do it again, but the aim of the show has shifted from entertainment for the whole family to pushing toys for kids. Go-Busters tried an old school style of story telling and it fell flat in toei's eyes due to toy sales.

Regardless, I think sentai is still entertainIng but just in a different way.
