MMPR Productions: From Best to Worst |

The best incarnation of Power Rangers. You still get that nostalgia of seeing the old heroes, yet it's also the first season to start the yearly tradition of changing everything. Oh, and did I mention it was done well?
For the longest time I thought the Machine Empire was lame, but have come to accept them as a decent faction. Especially considering the fact that Gasket and Archerina were UNTOUCHABLE prior to their giant-sized battle. My only problem being that they relied by the stunt team a bit too much. I could count on my hands the amount of times someone fought unmorphed. Something not possible in the majority of the other seasons. Jenn's rating:
The best Post-Zordon series. It's definitely one of the more mature seasons, but it also still keeps the campiness that makes the series so great.
Jenn's rating:
The original. It's not the greatest piece of work. In fact, it's most famous for how bad it was. You're not gonna get an Emmy-worthy show with six walking stereotypes, running around in spandex, taking orders from a floating head.
However, after the Green Ranger debuted in Green No Evil, the quality really picked up. That is, until the many problems encountered during season two. (Austin, Thuy and Walter walking out, lack of Dairanger monster suits for morphed battles, etc.) When season three premiered, it came and left with a BANG -- literally. After the Masked Rider crossover, the Thunderzords were destroyed, and in the finale it was the Command Center. Not to mention that we had lots of arcs, instead of standalone episodes. My only problem with season three was -- like it's successor, Zeo -- it relied too much on the stunt team. They'd always jump into ninja mode at the first sight of danger. Jenn's rating:
The last season to retain any of the original cast. While it is widely panned as being one of the worst seasons of PR (the new blue ranger taking the majority of it), it does not deserve most of it. With an underrated movie to kick it off and possibly one of my favorite finales ever really giving it a boost.
We also got the return of unmorphed fighting, which is probably the best it's been. Ever. For BOTH of the teams. When you see the Pink Ranger lift her leg over the back of her head to kick someone, you gotta give props to where it's due. Jenn's rating:
Picking up straight where Turbo left off with it's cliffhanger ending, we're introduced to the evil Astronema. Possibly the best (female) villain in PR history. It does have it's downfalls, but what season doesn't? A great ending to the Zordon Era.
Jenn's rating:
While the first half is alright, the stuff that actually takes place in the Lost Galaxy is unbearable to watch. I'm usually left going, "I miss Trakeena." But then when it's time for the finale, it gets all sappy and I'm rooting for the Rangers to destroy her already.
Oh, and Scorpius is the Worst. Villain. EVER. Don't even get me started on the suits and stupid run they do. I also want to bash most of the helmets in with a sledgehammer. Jenn's rating:
Holy bad acting, Batman! Unless their names are Joel Rawlings or Angela Fairweather, I'm usually cringing when someone opens their mouth.
Okay, it's usually just Carter, Kelsey and Vypra. But some of the Mitchell family scenes just felt awkward. Also, the resemblance of these Rangers to the previous Rangers is a bit too uncanny. Jenn's rating:
