As I mentioned over on the Gridman thread, I used to watch this after school but I would mute the sound for everything but the battle sequences and when Kilokhan was on screen. It was paired on an hour block with VR Troopers, which was more watchable.

I have a single VHS tape with two episodes (the tape is entitled "To Servo And Protect) which I got from a dollar store when I was in college. I want to say both episodes deal with the Megavirus Monster called Skorn, the one who could talk!

I remember reading about this series in the Kaiju Review, an old kaiju fanzine I used to get (and actually wrote an article for!), and originally during development the show was going to be called "Powerboy," and the producers had planned a huge marketing scheme to promote the show. By the time it premiered, the name had changed to cash in on an MMPR sort of vibe, but it never really caught on. Of course, had it caught on, they would have been in trouble because they would have run out of footage and not really had much options for an upgrade due to the unique nature of Gridman!
