Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was huge but, as a result of it's reliance on previous footage couldn't last forever in it's initial form. A change needed to be made. An entire established identity needed to be left behind.
After a brief Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers detour we got POWER RANGERS ZEO, the 4th season of Power Rangers and a template for the future of the Power Rangers.
But the transition to ZEO was not without it's bumps including a fan perpetrated hoax.

The mini-series of sneak peeks was one of the greatest bits of marketing I've ever personally experienced, almost 30 years after it first aired. The internet still in it's earliest, dial-up years, no widespread knowledge of Super Sentai for fans to know what zords were coming next, and the mini-series airing little morsels of hints for what happens next in the show. And then, Fox Kids hit us with the "It's Coming!" commericals, and we see the "Pwer Rangers Zeo" logo rendered for the first time. It was an experience!

Fun fact: three of the original Ranger actors (Austin St. John/Jason, Walter Emmanuel Jones/Zack, and Thuy Trang/Trini) wanted to unionize MMPR after things started to take off so they could get better pay. The plan fell apart and the three left. Some other people who worked on the show commented on this years later and stated the reason why a union wasn’t going to work was because apparently Saban had been planning to have a yearly rotation of actors for a while: they just wouldn’t be there long enough for it to actually work, so it sounds like that plan was doomed from the start.

They also really do pick up exactly where they left off in zeo - Jason depowered, back to the core 5, machine empire was destroyed at the end here, Rita and zedd back on the moon. The only gap is bulk and skull being police officers again. And it’s a bit vague on the power change. It’s really the main turbo show that drops the ball since Rita and zedd disappear along with the rest of the zeo arsenal.

Sadly it was followed up by Turbo, which the less said about the better.

Ahhh Zeo.... This particular season holds a very special place in my heart for a number of reasons. First off, I was on the older side of the fandom. I was 10 when PR premiered. So by the time Zeo premiered, I was 13 (actually turning 13 on the day it premiered). I think it should have been obvious Zeo was the next step. But I remember being stunned at the end of Hogday Afternoon II when the Command Center was blown up and not knowing if that was it for the show. I don't recall the timing after of when the "It's Coming" ad campaign began. But for some reason, I don't think it connected it was advertising Zeo. It wasn't until I read a blurb on upcoming kids shows in the Boston Herald that Power Rangers Zeo was to premiere that spring. Blew my mind, at the time, tthat the show was coming back and in that way. It premiering on my birthday, April 20th, made it even sweeter. Anyways, it's one of the many reasons I have such fondness for Zeo. Amongst others, it's my favorite PR theme in terms of the motif (and theme song).

@Digifantatic Ай бұрын

I actually watched Power Rangers at the time it was coming out. Caught Mighty Morphin reruns and some of Turbo when it aired, but Zeo came and went so quickly I didn't find out about it til i revisited the series years later. (Short of the quick view of the Zeo powers in the Turbo movie)

Even though MMPR was every 90s kid’s favorite action show and it was hard to imagine anything but MMPR existing, I still liked the show growing up and I like it now. It still felt relevant and they acknowledged where they came from. I honestly think they could’ve kept MMPR going for longer than it did and maybe end it on a triumphant note, but to ease viewers in on the idea of a new title each season was genius from a marketing perspective. The only misstep was not ending Zeo on a more definitive note and not leave us wondering whatever happened to the Zeo powers as they just disappear and reappear without any explanation. But besides that, the series is still good and honestly to me, this is where the cannon story ends. I stopped watching after this as a kid so I didn’t really grow up with anything beyond this, plus this is where the story stops being good. I know ppl love in space but I didn’t watch it as a kid, turbo killed my interest in the show.

Explains the reused footage (“Why does Dragonzord go after that same damned smokestack?”) Funny enough, my little cousin (also a fan at that time) was the first to point out that the toys were used for some footage in S3, specifically the “Ultrazord” docking configuration with Titanus (clearly Titanus wasn’t native to the Kakuranger mecha)

The fact they threw away Zeo without explanation always got me. I always through they should have written the Turbo movie such that that movie was the bridge to not only the Turbo powers, but passing the torch to the Turbo team (TJ, Cassie, etc.). They could have easily made it so that at the end of the Turbo movie, Zordon and Alpha need to go to Eltar like they did in the show and the Zeo Team go with them, ending the movie leaving the Earth in the Turbo Team's capable hands. Much better than having the Zeo Team use the Turbo powers for the movie and a few episodes then pass them on because they "grew up". Also a better way to introduce Justin than "Oh, Rocky hurt his back for a week, no Turbo powers for him"

I feel like the Rangers didn’t really grow. They kind of stagnated while stuff happened to them.

@Digifantatic Ай бұрын

I feel that's what gave some of the later series a more authentic feeling. When they knew they where only getting one season with the characters they made a bigger point of properly giving arcs to at lest some rangers.

"STRONGER THAN BEFORREEEEEE!!!!!! GOOOOOOO ZEEEEOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Ah man 1996 as a kid was dope. Wasn't into this series as much as the previous one, but Tommy's red ranger suit was dope with the star as the visor. I might have to go see Ohranger in it's original entirety, but I've heard some not-so-great things about that chapter of Super Sentai.

_Mighty Morphin'_ ended with a stretch where the heroes were turned into kids, and I remember being happy when they finally got turned back, then the Command Center blew up in the same episode, and I was on the edge of my seat wanting to see what happened next. When _Zeo_ started, I was fine with the new powers, but they also replaced Rita and Zedd with the Machine Empire. I was fine with the Machine Empire existing, but I was hoping for a three-way conflict between the Rangers, Rita and Zedd, and the Machines. But Rita and Zedd left, and they didn't seem to be coming back, so I kinda lost interest. Now, I did later learn that Rita and Zedd did pop up again from time to time, but I didn't really hop back on board the Ranger train until sometime partway through _Space._

Yeah once ASJ returned as the new Gold Ranger, Zedd and Rita played an active part again until the end of the season. It was the three-way conflict you hoped for, even including them briefly becoming the rulers of the Machine Empire through proxy (they created a monster loyal to them that took over leadership of the Empire) when Mondo foolishly thought he could take down the mighty Super Zeo Megazord, and lost, creating a power vacuum. That zord was a total monster. All the more reason Turbo was such a huge letdown. Zedd & Rita go to all that trouble....restore their place as the biggest threat to Earth, and re-establish their position on the Moon Palace....and then just walk away and let sassy but-lame Divatox play alpha bad-guy? Like WTH?! Man, the transition from Zeo to Turbo was handled so badly on so many levels.

@@KotCRAgree. They needed to make the movie the transition, cause doing it piecemeal during the season was a disaster.

I actually am one of the worlds top Power Rangers fans (i earned the title by once owning one of the largest collections in the world i had to sell most of after my daughters Kendrix and Kendall who are both named after Power Rangers were born.) I would love to see a episode on each season!!!! I hope you get the views you need to keep going with it!

I was a big fan of the Power Rangers franchise, especially when my idol Jason David Frank was on there. I like to hear you talk about other shows I watched during my childhood, such as Star Wars Droids and Ewoks, including the live action TV series of the Degrassi franchise.

11:30 Lol that commercial used the Ohranger Robo. You know it's the Japanese version cause it has all the chrome. The American release removed all the chrome except for the Lion and Bison head on top of making the chrome on the US version lighter.

i thought in the turbo movie they explain the reason for the creation of the turbo zords and the turbo powers was the pass through the barrier to the island where maligor was imprisoned, with their 5 keys combing to act as the key like larigot's key.

@bombarde1701a Ай бұрын

Zeo is as great and was definitely a departure from what we had in the previous 3 seasons of MMPR but continuity was maintained and it was all one big story arc that lasted until the end of In Space. But Zeo marked the beginning of the end for veteran rangers as once Turbo hit, the veterans left after a few episodes along with Zordon and Alpha. Oddly enough the Turbo movie came out and did not explain what happened to the Zeo powers. They just shifted into Turbo with no explanation, with one scene of Kat trying to morph before falling into a river. That was it. The powers themselves werent seen until Tommy used them in Forever Red

There was still a link to "Power Rangers Zeo" in "Turbo: a Power Rangers Movie." There is a scene when pink ranger Kat Hillard (played by Catherine Sutherland) fell off a cliff and she morphed into her pink zeo costume before she hit the water.

@ItsGeorgieOrgy 6 күн бұрын

In the Turbo Power Rangers Movie - Cat attempted to morph into Zeo, but was stopped mid way when she fell in the water. So there was a reference to Zeo, which I guess would be considered an Easter Egg for hardcore fans of the franchise.

I think the silliest 'people want to believe' thing was the ten-year long thread on the IMDB for 'Can't Buy Me Love' in which people kept arguing there had been nudity in a certain scene. It went on and on and on...
