I don't think it would have. This is a show that was basically made from scraps and did so well. It shouldn't take that much to replace everybody. As a kid, yeah the swap disappointed me, but I got over it. I didn't understood why the swap happened back then nor did I questioned it. I bet as a kid I would have reacted the same to everybody being replaced.

It is amazing how spliced together footage, ropey acting and bad plots made zero negative impact to a kid back then. Tommy was so cool and the zords were must have toys no matter what.

As a kid I was heart broken when Zack/Trini/Jason left the show but I did grow to like their replacements... well except for Rocky. However what really made me stop watching the series was when Kimberly left and she broke up with Tommy via a letter a few(?) episodes later, that shit hurt my heart as a kid XD

Yea I didn't hate the replacements for them. I had no opinion of Rocky one way or the other. Adam was cool, and Aisha was there. She didn't even stay long herself.

I didn't hate Kat, but she was no Kimberly at all. I pretty much stopped watching during Turbo. When Tommy left.

I always figured he was one of those yes man types just happy to be on a show as big as that and be the leader lol.

I think he used it to his advantage eventually, hes still really popular. I think he really just enjoyed the role and having kids look up to him.

He also disliked Adi Shankars 'bootleg PR' because he thought it was too violent and the antithesis of what the power rangers were

So yeah I think he just really loves the role.

As I was born in 1992 & Power Rangers started airing in '93, I think the majority of my MMPR memories come from Season 2 & basically the entirety of the "Zedd" era for the most part. A lot of the earlier episodes they played yesterday I didn't remember that much, but I pretty much have remembered every single thing that's happened on today's stream.

Welp. I'm out.

I really hope someone is able to look ahead, figure out roughly when some of the bigger/ most notable episodes are supposed to air (I.E. -Gold Ranger/ TMNT Crossover/ FOREVER RED) and post it in the OP at some point.

Hope you stick around for In Space. It is basically the swan song for the Zordon Era.

Man, I was down with Power Rangers for the long haul, I didn't stop watching until they got to SPD. There was something about the Dog Commander that was too cheesy for me as I was reaching my tween years.

I eventually relented & came back to watch Mystic Force when it aired on Disney Channel though. They played a marathon one day & I ended sitting down and watching it for hours.

Turbo was pretty darn good tho. TJ was a nice replacement leader.

I remember not liking In Space AT ALL when it started but it eventually grew to be one of my favorite seasons alongside Lost Galaxy. I was happy as hell they left the little kid from Turbo behind though, even as a fellow kid I hated the hell out of that character.

Mystic Force any good? Was basically in the same position as you regarding SPD.

I eventually found out Tommy showed back up in Dino Thunder and watched some of that, really liked the episode where they go over the history of the rangers (and it was nice seeing some of the stuff I had missed in between anything) and how it turned Tommy into this outright Legendary warrior, it was a nice touch. His return scene is pretty badass in its own right as well.

Don't sleep on SPD. Overall ok but the characters carry that shit.

No one has ever liked kid characters in kids shows. Kids don't wanna see kids, they wanna see kung fu adults.
