Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

A group of teenagers have super powers.

Last night I watched some of these old 1993 shows and I must may say they stand the test of time rather well. I am an adult with childish viewing tastes and I feel television always needs a series filled with action, monsters, humour and crazy young people. Power Rangers, both 1990s stuff and 2000s stuff, really does provide that.

This century is filled with superheroes on the big or small screen but Power Rangers has been around since 1993 and it will never go away - three decades old and it is still going strong! Thankfully, Rangers is mostly free of the smart ass comments we often get from other current heroes.

Granted, is has violence, perhaps too much violence for a kid's show, but compared to what we get on big screen superhero movies - Rangers is as harmless as a fly!

A couple of lesser known facts about the series:

1- It is generally known that Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) was filmed in Australia but most don't know that a few episodes of this original series were also done in Oz.

2- The show was not all just mindless action. For example, one episode had a male school student who had issues with dyslexia.

In a nutshell, be it be 1993 episodes or 2020 episodes, this series is a mighty important part of fantasy entertainment - for the young and not so young.
