The theme of Gaim is just too weird to start out on and Ghost is too eastern with it's selection of historical figures.

As for Dragon Knight, I've never seen it but I feel it's main problem was it was just on a strange channel for a kids show. I had honestly never heard of "The CW4Kids" before I got into Kamen Rider nor had I ever seen any toys for it. It really wasn't set up to succeed.

It would seem that using the Power Rangers model of recycling action footage, if Masked Rider and Dragon Knight are to be believed, won't work for Kamen Rider. So don't even think about that as an issue.

We're saying just do an entirely American adaptation of a Kamen Rider script / concept (a common enough practice, see the American version of the British original The Office). Or what Switchblade is suggesting, use the bones of a Kamen Rider series (in his, Black) and put it into a format that is 'easy to understand' (wandering hero). But have it produced, top to bottom, stateside.

An aside: even as a seven year old, I found the Incredible Hulk to be repetitive and boring. You can only watch the Hulk beat up corrupt construction workers or hired thugs so many times!
