Why did Dragon Knight fail?

Good point, about the heavy story arch making it hard for new viewers. Thats a problem that some adult fans have. While I personally like shows like that and loved that aspect of DK, it probably did hurt things. But I don't think they needed to do what Samurai did and not have a real origin episode.

I'm really glad they made their own storyline, but I still think it was just too slow to start off with. I really don't mind how Samurai started because you are dropped straight into the action and that's all kids care about. I think Saban will eventually go back and tell us how each Ranger came to the group, but right now its not what they want to do and I can understand that. Just coming back to the screen they have to make it fun for kids to get back into it. I just think if Dragon Knight had done the same thing it may have survived.
I think it could have been a better idea to aim the show at an older audience just because it could have worked. People like things like Batman, Superman, Spiderman, so why not a group of people running around in armour killing each other.
