The show has aged like milk that you forgot to throw out like a week ago. The show is filled with bad acting and writing. Even for a kids show, it could have been way better. MMPR has some decent moments, but the show itself is still really bad. I grew up with the show in the mid 90's and I can admit that the show was terrible when you take off your nostalgia goggles.

Jury is eternally deadlocked! I have to admit that there are some obvious moments that make one cringe when they look back on the original, both in terms of dialogue and plot. You have to wonder how some of the actors got the words out with a straight face! The action was likely the main point for the most part. At the same time, some have suggested that PR showed a degree of potential, while others like VR were just an obvious toy-selling commercial and even worse in terms of acting and dialogue. Also, some of the actors aren't that bad, as one can laugh at Bulk and Skull then and now. The villains are tolerable, especially Goldar who wasn't the comedic relief he eventually became after Season 1. As the seasons progressed, prior to the Alien Rangers, the show was able to merge comedy and seriousness somewhat more fluidly as they had started to establish something of a mythology and history. Originals are always viewed as better even when they aren't. It takes time for something to find itself. The older Saban seasons before the shift to Disney are likely indicative of the older fandom showing their age, and the old tricks not working.
