Honestly? If Sentai takes a few years off and MMPR needs material? I'll be hoping for original stories.

18 seems kinda generous.

MMPR is probably a big reason why they will never take a few years off. The money from that probably makes sentai more profitable for them than Kamen Rider.

This.

I heard the reason of Sentai rating getting bad is because it aired at the same time with Pokemon, which more popular with kids.

Pokemon is probably having a huge impact on the ratings at the moment too, there's a lot of excitement for the new games and each show might have new information being announced (which is actually unlikely, but it won't stop people tuning in, hoping to see a new Pokemon).

It also might take kids a few weeks to realise there's even a new show on. Once more merchandise is available and more of them see other kids playing with it, things might pick up. It's a bad start, but I wouldn't count Kyoryuger out just yet. There's also the fact that poor ratings aren't that big a deal for Sentai, if the toys prove popular enough.

True

It's troubling, but given that GoBusters sorta cratered, it's gonna take time to stop the bleeding and reverse the trend.

If worst comes to worst and it takes a few years off? Well . . .wouldn't be the first time for Sentai. Having a decade or so rest meant we were pretty pumped for the return of the Metal Heroes, so . . .look at it like that.

Yes, actually, it would. Super Sentai has been running continuously since 1975, with only a small break of about a year between JAKQ and Battle Fever (and even then, JAKQ and Goranger weren't considered part of the Sentai series until the 90s).

That's the break I was thinking of--still counts, kinda, imho. Wasn't a LONG break, but neither was Amazon's.

I'm hoping next year, we'll get a firefighting series. That way they can complete the trifecta of emergency service themed series.
