So because adult fans, a tiny percentage of the viewers, are unhappy with the quality of the show, then Power Rangers is DOOMED? Really? I'm surprised that people are reaching that conclusion and I come from Transformers fandom that pretty much coined the "RUINED FOREVER" phrase.
Just ignore the fact that Samurai was the most popular Power Rangers has been in about decade, right? PR is in the best financial state is has been in a long time. It doesn't matter that we're unhappy, because the people that makes them the most money are very happy. Yes, the quality of Megaforce and Samurai isn't spectacular, but kids are loving it and buying the merchandise and watching the show and that's what makes something successful when it all comes down to it. I understand that it sucks that Power Rangers has really been down in quality lately, but I think its in a better position when it comes to success then it has been in a LONG time.

One word... money.

Pretty much this.

But wouldn't skipping a season save money?
We could skip Go-Busters and jump to Kyoryuger, because kids love dinosaurs and that would bring in cash because dinosaurs are cool and the popularity of dinosaurs is why Zyranger was the first Sentai to get adapted instead of Jetman (which was a runner up, from what I've read, but was dropped because dinosaurs).

But then again I'm not an Economics Major, so I probably know diddly-squat about this.

more product = more money.

Power Rangers will endure. The toy sales are more than enough to ensure a moderately successful future.

Just because we old fans don't find it as compelling as it used to be (because frankly the lightning-in-a-bottle of RPM spoiled our perspective on things) doesn't mean things are over.

Kind of have to agree. I think that a lot of us saw RPM and now we want all new Power Rangers shows to be like that, when it's pretty clear that Saban is more interested in making the show more like it was back in the day: cheesy, kiddy, and cheap.

Although RPM was great and one of the best, I don't think it's fair to say it was THE best, honestly Power Rangers has had more good seasons than bad ones and even the mediocre ones were enjoyable. People act like the Disney era was the worst thing to happen to Power Rangers minus RPM but honestly I think they had more consistent quality overall even if they didn't produce the best the show has to over individually, whereas Saban seems to only be able to produce fantastic seasons or utter garbage ones with nothing in between.

As such, it isn't that RPM has spoiled us, it's just that Samurai was one of the worst products Saban has put out (except for making them money) and although Megaforce is nowhere near as shit as Samurai, it still isn't as good as the fan favourites.

I think what surprises me most is how little imagination both of them have had, although watching them back a lot of those early Saban series were cheesy, full of filler and awkwardly put together, they at least did something new and special with the series they were adapting (for the most part) and setting Goseiger in a high school and removing angels doesn't count as ingenuity, although it still isn't quite as much as a creative dead zone as Samurai was.

I guess long gone is the time that Saban both cared about putting effort in, he clearly makes just as much, if not more money from crap like Samurai, so why bother putting in the effort making like space operas or whatever else?

I loved Thunder Storm! I wish the Ninja Rangers were that cool in their actual series.
