I have only seen a handful of episodes so I don't really have a judgement value. I sincerely doubt that it could be worse than Turbo, honestly.

You people are nuts. Turbo is nowhere near as bad ass the worst of the Disney era.
Turbo at least had good fights and more memorable villains and the like and even Justin was cooler than the Overdrive bums...the rest of the Rangers were all likable. Yeah, Turbo was bad for the Zordon era, but EVERYTHING was awful about Operation Overkill. The characters didn't get a chance to be likable or they just weren't. They were super awkward, the fights were all just bland slow motion, the music was super super terrible just like Jungle Furries (that weird amelodic thing they had going on). The music changed tempos and keys so often that it didn't pump you up, it kept changing your emotion. It's weird because the Mack backstory episode or two was good, and handled well, and it felt like a different show for a bit, but besides that, it was a disaster.

This is coming from someone who was a huge, HUGE PR fan straight through Zeo, and I gave up on the series for the better part of 2.5 years thanks to Turbo. I'm going to watch Operation Overdrive once I finish Jungle Fury, so then I'll be able to form a more complete opinion. But until such time as I see something less watchable, Turbo is it as far as "bleah" goes.

Yeah, but see how many of the OO villains you remember in a couple years. I only saw it for the first time a month or so ago and I don't remember any of their names.

And that's a good point, too. Like I said, it's hard for me to say since I have seen I think only about 4 or 5 eps of OO.

I for one enjoyed Turbo. I liked the new cast of rangers, I am a male and always found Divatoxs outfit to be hardcore ridiculous(nevermind her charecter, thats irrelevant to a males eye.) But going back and watching on Netflix, I am finding it to be an average season at best, with a few fun moments, and Phantom Ranger awesomeness

I'll have to go back and watch some of the second half of Turbo, because the only episodes I recall with any fondness is when Havoc comes to Earth with the Space Base and takes out the Zords with Metallasaurus. The rest of it I remember just being silly, with a lot of Divatox hamming it up. (Part of that is that Carranger wasn't exactly serious, of course.) Then again, I pretty much only watched it on ABC Family so who knows.

That's the thing. I feel like most people just watched the first 17 or so episodes of Turbo then gave up and called it the worst series ever. Once the cast changed, even though the original cast were awesome characters in Zeo and before, the show just got way better. It became really serious and there were hints dropped EVERYWHERE that shit was going to go DOWN soon. Then Chase Into Space happened.
This big time. I used to be a big Ashley fan when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I can't deny my love for Patricia Ja Lee.

Neither of those girls ever did anything for me. I always dug Thuy Trang and to a lesser degree Amy Jo Johnson as a kid.
In addition to PROO, I'm going to add the second half of Turbo to my "To Watch" Queue.
