Well the OO one was a Disney production. Goodness, I hope someone's prophecy a few years back about Saban being worse than Disney doesn't come true.

Considering Disney left us with RPM and Saban came back with Samurai, I think it already came true...

I don't understand why Disney gets so much flak. It had some of the best seasons PR's had, as well as some of the worst, just like Saban had. I'd also argue that despite MMPR being crazy popular, when it comes down to actually good storytelling, Disney probably had more hits and less misses then Saban did (The only true misses were Ninja Storm and Operation Overdrive).

For what it's worth, even Operation Overdrive had it's moments. Like Once a Ranger and Things Not Said.

While I'd agree that Ninja Storm and Operation Overdrive are the real misses as far as Disney seasons go (though I'm not a big fan of Jungle Fury either), that doesn't necessarily mean they had more hits. While I enjoyed SPD and (to a lesser extent) Mystic Force, I'd hardly call them "hits" like I would with Dino Thunder and RPM.

Personally I find on the whole the Disney seasons to be weaker, but not to the level some people claim they are. There's a lot of good in them that deserves to be celebrated just as much as any Saban season does.

I'd definitely consider SPD and Mystic Force as "hits" over Dino Thunder, in my opinion. SPD remains my favourite Power Ranger season along with Time Force ever.

I think people hated Disney's handling because Disney always seemed to hate owning PR. It was like the black sheep of the Magic Kingdom, always tucked away in some corner, with Disney hoping it would die off. PR series were always poorly promoted and ignored and Disney was quite cheapskate in a lot of ways too, such as the whole Omega Ranger fiasco where they refused to hire another proper actor.

Yet, if there's one thing to be said about Disney, it's that they're probably (we don't know the exact inner-workings of either Saban or Disney) less authoritarian than Saban, giving a freer hand for producers to experiment and try different ideas. This produced RPM, which I'll be forever grateful for. I'm guessing their apathy allowed for this, while for Saban, Power Rangers is a main source of income so it's tightly reined in.

Some people hated Disney because they allowed Bruce Kalish to produce Power Rangers for 4 seasons, and they hated Kalish's work. Honestly though, Jungle Fury is WAY more tolerable than Samurai for me.

It's funny that the one show Disney wanted to die always made just enough money to continue

Anyway, while Disney had nothing but disdain for PR, under their guidance they created SPD (i.e. the only reason I watched Jetix one year), Dino Thunder (I may hate Connor, but the show was still pretty good), and RPM (I don't even need to say anything about it).
Honestly, outside of Disney fucking over Forever Red and whatever the hell Operation Overdrive was, I really don't see why Disney gets so much flack.

This all rather dissappointing. Bridge was the one ranger that I really wanted to see return.
