Back in 1993, 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' premiered onto the Fox Kids block and became a sensation in the kids media scene, with their unique idea of blending Japanese footage from the Super Sentai series with American actors in new scenes. However, few know that before the series officially premiered, a pilot was produced to pitch the concept to networks…and became lost..until six years after MMPR premiered, so why is it called Power Rangers: The Lost Episode?

According to Power Rangers Wiki:
The Lost Episode was a Power Rangers special episode that took place after Power Rangers: In Space, and was hosted by Austin St. John and Walter Emmanuel Jones, who portrayed Jason Lee Scott and Zack Taylor, respectively. The special episode aired only one time on May 22, 1999. Along with clips from the previous shows from Mighty Morphin up to its then-current season, Lost Galaxy and the scenes with Jones and St. John, the episode aired the original pilot version of "Day of the Dumpster." Clips from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger was also shown when discussing the origin of the show.

Hey give the Animorphs some credit. The fact they got away with making a war drama with realistic depictions of PTSD with an ending that left our teenage heroes with developmental problems and passed it off as a silly kids book is pretty insane.

Skull was in the Lost Episode pilot, just not played by Jason Narvy. The lead bully was Skull. The original Skull actor was replaced with Narvy for coming off as too intimidating after they decided to go in a more comedic direction with the bullies. King Sphinx's appearance in the pilot (under the name Fly Guy) is believed to be the main reason he became an important focus in the merchandising. When aired on TV in 1999 as the Lost Episode a lot edits were made to remove music (featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers) and lines of dialog like referencing to the Zords as Droids (which resulted in Thuy Trang's voice being dubbed into the pilot over Audri Dubois in a few of the shots). In the early 2000s, just before KZfaq was a thing, an unknown individual with access to the pilot in its original unedited form uploaded the pilot to the internet for fans to finally see and compare it with the edited televised Lost Episode version of the pilot. A second unaired pilot was partially filmed, but was never finished and shelved after the show was picked up mid filming in order to work of the actual aired Day of the Dumpster episode from 1993. Footage from this second unaired pilot would be repurposed for the Chunky Chicken episode Big Sisters. Fans would not learn of this second unaired pilot's existence or the repurposing of the footage in Big Sisters until 2007 when Tony Oliver showed it off during the first Power Morphicon. Also for the Bioman pilot, while it is still lost today some of its Americanized footage was re-edited and spliced together with Zyuranger footage to make a Galaxy Rangers pitch reel. That Galaxy Rangers pitch reel is included as a hidden Easter egg on one of the two bonus DVDs from the MMPR Complete Series Boxset by Shout! Factory.

i think there's also another pilot of day of the dumpster that exists somewhere. i've seen some footage of it in commercials, promos, and i think even the opening for the series. but this one had thuy trang involved and had an altered morph sequence with the rangers posing with their morphers on location of the rock area where they fought the putties. it would be interesting if someone can find this alternative version too.

as somebody who was a kid when MMPR started airing, and kept up with the series, u can't imagine what it was like when Forever Red aired. It's a "you had to be there" moment.

Fun facts, the changes to the names of Zoltar and The Mega Dino Droid faced legal issues with both Lucas Films, who owns the term Droid, and the company I think it was Ballie not sure, who owns the Zoltar fortune Tellier coin operated machines, which you might have noticed is featured in the movie Big from 19988, something that Saban may not have been aware of when it first envisioned things as he'd been trying to pitch adaptations of super sentai to US Markets since 1984 when he saw Choudenshi Bioman, his first attempt came in the really missing pilot for Saban's Bio-Man from 1986, which from what we understand, a lot of the names where reused from that for Galaxy Rangers in 1990-1991 and finally making it to screen in 1993. Victor Lee became Jason Lee Scott Billy Cranston - stated the same Zack Taylor - Stayed the same Trini Crystal became Trini Kwan upon the recast after the "lost episode" Kimberly Harte became Kimberly Hart another fun fact about 1986's Bio-Man, most people will be quick to point out that Mark Dacascos started as Biorhythm Red Victor Lee, ( not to be confused by his role of Jimmy Lee in 1994's Double Dragon film), that's fairly well known, but less known or talked about is who played Trini Crystal in Bio-Man, it was none other than Tricia Fisher, who is the half-sister to late star wars actress Carrie Fisher sharing a father in Eddie Fisher

I remember watching this when it first aired I couldn’t believe my eyes I thought it was so cool. I ran and told my parents everything about it. We checked TV guide to see the next time it was coming on couldn’t find it so I waited till next week, til the same day and time, and it never came on again til MPR

I would have to say my favorite episode is from season 2, when is a ranger not a ranger, where the rangers lose their memories and bulk and skull step up to save their friends and the day.

As a 90s kid, my favorite episode is an oldie, lol; The mighty morphin episode where the red ranger gets addicted to a Pachinko machine…i can’t remember the actual name of the episode any more. I had a Power Rangers video tape that i won at an arcade that had that episode it, as well as two others, and i LOVED IT LITERALLY TO DEATH. Totally burnt it out. 😅

My favorite episode is I think in zeo or turbo.. I think it was either green or blue ranger that joins the rest on a cliff side and they say who says the green/blue ranger can't dance while doing a little dance. It's so random and hilarious and I love that they put that sentai footage in PR . Also I remember seeing this when it came out. They hyped it up soo hard. I told all my older siblings and parents about it.

The pilot billy and all was what the merch was based off of, and believe it or not. That little window of time before Tommy I felt was special. The 5 had time to shine and be on all the merch. This was also the time when merchandisers though the helmets were their actual heads, not helmets lol. Like the physically mutate like animorphs lol
