Storyline

Four athletically able teenagers along with their brainy friend Billy are selected by Zordon to fight the evil of Rita Repulsa, her monsters and her minions after the witch is accidentally released from imprisonment in an intergalactic dumpster on the moon. Later in the series, the rangers are joined by Tommy, the once evil Green Ranger designed for Rita's evil, but later was deprogrammed and spent two portions of the series briefly as the Green Ranger. Over time, some rangers had to pass their powers to others as well. Action scenes and scenes with Rita were edited from footage based on Japanese action sagas. Replacement villain Lord Zedd was designed in the U.S.

Trivia

In the two-part story "Green No More" from season two, Lord Zedd creates his own team of Dark Rangers to fight the Power Rangers with. Only the Yellow Dark Ranger, Tina, is named on-screen in the finale of "Green With Evil, Part 2". While not said on-screen in "Green No More" part 1 or 2, the original shooting script listed the names of the other four Dark Rangers as Justin (Dark Red Ranger), Zane (Dark Black Ranger), Kristen (Dark Pink Ranger), and Bobby (Dark Blue Ranger).

Goofs

At multiple points in the "Return of the Green Ranger" 3-parter, gum trees are visible in most of the 1770s scenes. These trees are native to Australia, but the show is set in California.

Lord Zedd: Heh, I hate to be the one to break the news to you, Dad, but we tried this once before, and it didn't work then, either!
Goldar: Been there, done that. What are ya, new?

User Reviews

It's amazing what we all used to watch.

I was a Power Rangers fan when it first came out, (can you believe it?) but looking back, I noticed that it's a little messed up.

Although a lot of it didn't really look all that great, remember this: THE SHOW WAS MEANT FOR A YOUNG AUDIENCE!!! It was supposed to be dorky!

Like many fans my age, we were all in awe as we watched Tommy lose his powers, but then briefly regain them only to have the green ranger powers taken away again.

I'm also guessing that those that watched this for the first time didn't know the identity of the white ranger until part two of "The White Light."

Of course, during the 3rd season, it was kind of hard to follow... so I stopped watching until Zeo.

Recently, it's grown into a guilty pleasure for me, so I only watch it in secret.

As far as the rating goes, it's at least a 7.
