Let me ask my fellow Rangermaniacs here what your favorite range of Power Ranger episodes are.

P.S. Day of the Dumpster (the original version hosted by Austin St. John in 1999) shall be counted with the version from 1993. Video-only specials and the two movies are not included.

Let's see Zordon was in his prime in the 1st range of episodes
& what else?

Personally, I like the lastest range of episodes. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one who tends to go for all the latest gimmicks and abondon cruelly what once was loved(when PRZ came out, I preferred good ol' Mighty Morphin for the longest time.) BUT, I'm also one who doesn't uselessly cling to the past. That's why I accept new incarnations once I figure out the theme they try to set. It happens EVERY year. Lightspeed Rescue is the primest of examples(for those of you who are loyal in the anti-PRLS campaign) Not that I'm a know-it-all(I laugh at the thought of calling myself one)but the facts are clear cut. Lightspeed Rescue was the BIGGEST adjustment for us, even bigger than PRLost Galaxy, because it set itself apart from the other incarnations more distinctively than any previous or after. In Lost Galaxy, we lost having Zordon as a leader or a fighting inspiration along with all the characters we were familiar with, but in Lightspeed Rescue we not only lost that, but every concept of PR as we knew because the powers were MANMADE and not from a mystic magic. I PRAISE Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for its courage to be different. Let's face it, PR is based on many changes...but if it's the same things that are being constantly changed(sixth Ranger, new zords, new villains, magic powers etc...) and those changes only, the show becomes repetitive to a point BEYOND redemption. Anyone notice how the popularity of Power Rangers rose tremendously last year? New McDonald's toys(13 in fact), the begining of a new line of Ranger games on quality gaming systems, the return of public announcements during the summer, a crossover that was actually promoted by Fox Kids, the LARGEST video release of PR episodes since MMPR/Power Playback(among the Operation Lightspeed video, Curse of the Cobra video, Power Rangers Triple Force, Neptune's Daughter Video- which was an exclusive at Toys R Us-and the Wrath of the Queen video, that's 16 of 40 episodes released from Lightspeed Rescue!) along with extra merchandise, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was one of the LARGEST incarnations until Time Force. Reading the facts, it doesn't seem lame or like a mistake to me, guys.

Oh, my vote's for the latest range of episodes!

i went for the JYB and Zedd era. Just because I love PJL, doesn't mean that side is my fave part.

Beause its the newest thing. I bet anything that after the next 3 new seasons of Power Rangers happen if it does), you will then be saying they're "the best ones ever". You seem to me to be someone who always likes the "newest" thing, no matter how crap it is.

Listen I've watched every episode of Wild Force so far and I've thought it was only ok.....now listen I like Lost Galaxy-Time Force the best and I'm going to like that the best no matter what.....and just because you say its crap (or think it's crap) doesn't mean it is crap.......I've seen a whole lot of people saying that those series were great

My reasoning for choosing the latest range is because these Rangers are fighting the good fight without Zordon being there as their backbone mentor. MMPR-PRT NEEDED Zordon to guide them. PRiS were inspired to rescue him from Dark Spector. He was the Space Rangers fighting inspiration in other words. But Lost Galaxy was the first generation to do it on their own, with minor assistance from Alpha 6. They didn't have a mentor and they still fulfilled their ranger duties. This gave Rangermania a whole new feel which is still carried on today.

PRT? You do know Zordon left them alone with a questionning half invisible woman right at the beginnning of the series right?

Ok, here's a question...why was Dimatria half-invisable?

because she was actually dead. She was a ghost.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this I hear? Cml is actually expressing unproven theory w/o saying it's only speculation? Hmm...
Anyway, it's a theory that could work. And Zordon was still a mentor to the Rangers in Turbo. You know what I mean.

That wasn't a theory. That was me joking:b
