I always consider how different things were culturally and in society when I go back to older shows like this. Like, it's difficult to appreciate when you've no direct experience of it; but we're talking about an era where you had no internet or wider discussion about these sorts of things, there were limited timeslots and channels for heroes to even exist on, TV and its genres as a whole had been around for very little time comparatively and following on from that you don't have many if any formal education and schools teaching conventional storytelling techniques for writers and directors to come from; and a large part of it is experience... I look back on shows like this and I see for the creative team the same passion and love for what's being done, but without all the technical skill and theory that would evolve later; and for audiences that this is the one time every week they get to see a cool hero save the day and be wowed by something as simple as a giant robot fight or a henshin. It's a far simpler time and I always feel the need to appreciate that context!
