Being a Godzilla, Voltron, and UltraSeven fan when I was a child, I fell in love with MMPR immediately.

My introduction to it was in some magazine where they were showing off the five ranger toys, the four baddies (Goldar, Baboo, Squatt, and King Sphinx), and the Megazord. It said this show was coming to Fox Kids and in Oct a Green Ranger would be showing up. It looked and sounded cool.

A few days later, I saw a commercial on Fox for it and screamed, "I WANT TO SEE THAT!!" Then they premiered DotD on a Saturday morning (I believe it was in Aug) and loved it. The next Sat they aired the pudgy Pig episode, which was pretty good to. Then the show went to week days and started over with DotD, but I enjoyed it so much I did not care. And then the green ranger appeared and the show went from being amazing to my favorite show on television at that time and what I wanted the toys from most of all through most of Zeo.

By Zeo, I lost the interest in having the big combining mechas since there were 5inch one pieces available for a fraction of the price (and when you are only earning an allowance of $10 a week, price comes into play a lot), but I still loved the show. Unfortunately, Turbo started to lose me, especially with Beast Wars kicking so much ass. PRiS is where I stopped buying the toys as I got sick of having to buy new toys every year (little did I know this would become a thing nowadays for me) as I pretty much stopped getting them just before the Delta Megazord premiered.

I also stopped watching the show religiously during LG and have yet to see every episode to every series after. I did try to watch at least the premier episode and the final episodes but there are still series that I have not seen even those to. I have caught a couple episodes of LSR, Time Force and Wild Force, and I think I have seen the ending to those, but I'm not sure. I know I have not seen anything beyond episode 2 to both JF and RPM, and I gave up on MF after 3 episodes and SMF after the first.

OH, and I loved even the MMPR movie when I was a kid. In fact, one of my friends acquired a copy recorded from the theater and gave it to me as a present because my parents wouldn't take me to see the movie again and I watched it on a weekly basis despite its horrible video quality. I hated VHS even as a kid because of its terrible video quality, but I did not care when it came to that movie.

I remember this. I stayed the night at my uncles house and my cousin who is about a year and month younger than me, showed me a VHS tape of something called "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie" which he had gotten form our other cousin who I found out grew up on MMPR through In Space.

We watched the movie that night I think I fell asleep halfway through, and the next night we watched a VHS tape of the Wild Force vol 1. I think it was the first 3 episodes. I loved it. He gave me his Wild Force Megazord missing the shark tail funny enough. I sadly sold it a while back even though it was one of the few toys to survive childhood.

After those two nights I dont think I watched any Wild Force as it had just ended, I got in just in time for Ninja Storm to premiere. Watched its first episode on Jetix and watched every one until they quit airing which was around the time my parents had me quit watching, so end of Jungle Fury.

Come to think of it, I became a huge Transformers fan because I couldnt be a Power Ranger fan. No wonder I havent cared about TFs much since I came back.

I was also a fan of Godzilla too when I started watching Power Rangers. I did watch one or two episodes of In Space, Lost Galaxy, LSR, Time Force and Wild Force because I would wait for other shows. I remember In Space would come on like a half hour before Godzilla: The Series and Fox always had Power Rangers air before Digimon.

My first experience with Power Rangers was at the very beginning, with the first episode of MMPR. I had no idea it was adapted from Super Sentai at the time, I was a kid and all I knew was that it had guys in cool suits with combining robot dinosaurs! Needless to say, it quickly became one of my favorite shows.

The preview episode before the premiere of Season One. Watched every season in some form ever since.

Funny enough, I knew MMPR was taken from a Japanese show but I did not know Voltron was actually japanese.

I remember the time a lot when they gained their Thunder Zords, but I'm not sure if that was before or after Jason, Trini, and Zack left. Since I remember them more as the original than Adam, Rocky, and Aisha

The special effects in Power Rangers remind me of the special effects in Godzilla movies. As a kid, I had a feeling PR came from Japan. As a kid, I also remember seeing Japanese Sentai toys at local Japanese imported stores. I didn't know the term "Super Sentai" until 2004 when I look up Dino Thunder on the Wikipedia.

My first experience with Power Rangers was when I was three and I saw a few minutes of the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue episode "The Mighty Mega Battles." I changed the channel because I didn't like it. Which is ironic because nearly two years later, my neighbor gave me a copy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Needless to say, I have been a fan of the show ever since.
