Power Rangers Archive

  • 10,000 years ago Rita Repulse was imprisoned in a space dumpster on the Moon. She remained there until two unsuspecting astronauts opened the dumpster and changed the world forever. -Austin St. John Since I spent most of the holidays watching and reviewing the Goddamn Mighty Morphine (teeheehee!) Power Rangers it would be apt to close the season 1 reviews with the very first episode, “Day of the Dumpster”. Instead, I am going to review a television special from 1999 celebrating the 300th episode in the Power Rangers franchise. It includes the unaired pilot episode (also called “Day of the Dumpster”)...0February 8, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.00 Unaired Pilot

  • Season 1 Episode 54 Airdate: May 3, 1994 We open with Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, on a balance beam. Kim will be a contestant on the game show, Jeopardy: Retard Edition. Tommy, the Green Ranger, says “Isn’t that the most popular game show in America?” Take THAT America. Kimberly wants to win a car and hopes her fellow Rangers will be in the audience to root for her, but Tommy cannot as he as has a “big inner-city karate match”. And nothing is more important Tommy than KARATE, certainly not some stupid girlfriend who doesn’t even know karate. Skull will...0February 1, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.54 “Trick or Treat”

  • Season 1 Episodes 49 & 50 Airdates: February 28 & March 1, 1994 Part 1 It’s Parent’s Day at the school. Except it’s in Ernie’s gym. We meet the Ranger kids’ parents, most of whom dress in the same colors as their children. It’s like cartoons when the parents each look like exact grown up versions of their child. Jason’s dad arm wrestles Trini’s dad. In case you’re wondering which parent is which, Jason’s family are all in red, and Trini’s are in yellow. Trini’s father wins, despite being much smaller, because of China magic. Skull is filming this all....0January 25, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.49 & 50 “Return of an Old Friend”

  • Season 1 Episode 42 Airdate: February 8, 1994 It’s Angel Grove Pet Adoption Day. The Ranger kids are helping out because volunteering is cool! A fat old lady asks the Ranger kids to find a home for Norman, her pig. Meanwhile, Marlon, the Black Ranger, is running late to the event because it started before noon. He sees the old lady run into the woods and wonders why is that cracker moving so fast? Is there a sale on mayonnaise? The old lady is revealed to be a Puttie! Marlon gets caught in a Puttie fight. After he wins, he...0January 18, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.42 “A Pig Surprise”

  • Season 1 Episodes 39 & 40 Airdate: November 29 & 30, 1993 Part 1 Angel Grove is celebrating its first ever Power Ranger Day. The people are out in the park, and so are the Ranger kids, who plan to morph and make a public appearance later. Jason, the Red Ranger, and Randy, the Black Ranger, talk about being Power Rangers (they don’t have much else in common). Randy wants to get laid, so asks out Angela, a girl he’s been harassing for some time now. “Oh Randy,” replies Angela, “if you were a Power Ranger I’d say yes in a...3January 11, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.39 & 40 “Doomsday”

  • Season 1 Episodes 34 & 35 Airdate: November 16 & 17, 1993 Part 1 Tommy, the Green Ranger, is kicking Jermaine’s, the Black Ranger, butt at karate. But it’s cool ‘cause they are buds. Jermaine gets back at Tommy by calling him a wimp for not asking out Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, to the dance. Tommy is all like, “I’ll just kick this board in half.” KARATE! Back at the Moon, Rita Repulsa proclaims, “I have the perfect plant to conquer that pathetic little planet Earth.” Who is she to call our planet pathetic? She lives on the Moon, which orbits...0January 4, 2012

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.34 & 35 “The Green Candle”

  • Season 1 Episode 25 Airdate: October 30, 1993 The kids are at Ernie’s youth center setting up decorations for a costume party. Bulk and Skull are there. I like how TV bullies in the ’90s often dressed like ’50s greasers. TV writers of the time must have been trying to re-create the bullies of their youth. Bulk and Skull try to help decorate, but Bulk pulls on some tassel stuff which pulls over some chairs and results in a paint bucket falling onto his head. All the kids laugh at him, including the Rangers. That’s really mean. No wonder Bulk...1December 26, 2011

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.25 “Life’s a Masquerade”

  • 0December 24, 2011

    Mighty Morphin Carlin Rangers

  • Breaking the Spell [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5] The Rangers can’t believe that Tommy is the evil Green Ranger. Billy says computer has to be accurate because Alpha corrected it. Oh, Alpha took care of it! Yeah, that’s a computer technician I trust. For all we know how, Green Ranger could be a hamster. Back at the Moon, Rita and her dingalings celebrate with “cranberry and oyster juice.” I wonder if that was wine in the original Japanese episode, but this was one of those time where Japanese content was edited by censors in the US...0July 29, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.21 “Green With Evil” Part 5

  • Eclipsing Megazord [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5] The Rangers try to morph but are unable to. It seems the Morphing Grid has been fried or whatever. I am going to spare you the on screen explanation. “But Goldar’s tearing the city apart!” cries Zack. “There’s nothing I can do,” replies Alpha. Damn you Alpha. Damn you and your cold robot logic. Now there is no one to stop Goldar. Except, you know, the military. A missile from an F-16 is really all you would need to kill Goldar. I can’t imagine he is anywhere as tough...0July 29, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.20 “Green With Evil” Part 4

  • Part 3 – The Rescue [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5] Jason continues to hide in the fog and Goldar continues to not do anything. Finally Jason get bored with lying around. He jumps up and kicks Goldar right in the chest. Goldar is knocked back and Jason brags, “How does it feel to be outsmarted by a human being?” Yeah, it’s called evolution, bitch! The Rangers go looking for Jason. Kimberly asks around the Youth Center, when she is accosted by Bulk and Skull again. They want her to kiss them. I think they want to...0July 29, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.19 “Green With Evil” Part 3

  • Part 2 – Jason’s Battle Billie Green – 07/29/10 [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5] The Rangers sulk in their ransacked Command Center. “Who ever broke in here knew exactly what to do,” says Kimberly. Yeah, he did. He knew to smash shit. Billy the Blue Ranger, assisted by Trini the Yellow Ranger, try to restore Alpha, rather than do something useful. If I were a Power Ranger, I would consider the loss of Alpha to be a blessing in disguise. Also, I would want my animal theme to be an otter. I would command the Otterzord,...0July 29, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.18 “Green With Evil” Part 2

  • Part 1 – Out of Control Season 1 Episodes 17-21 Airdate: October 5-9, 1993 [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5] I liked the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for a couple of years. Mind you, I was in elementary school at the time. And I was initially resistant to watch it. I remember in the summer months leading up to its debut in 1993, Fox Kids aired promos for it as well as The Animaniacs. All my little friends were getting pumped in anticipation about this exciting new show about giant fighting robots, but I was like, “No,...0July 29, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.17 “Green With Evil” Part 1

  • Season 1 Episode 8 Airdate: September 16, 1993 The Ranger kids and Ernie, the gym owner, are setting up a birthday party for in the gym Zack, the Black Ranger. Zack is not there because this will be a surprise party. The kids are working on this at night when the gym is closed. Not that they are working very hard. Billy, the Blue Ranger, is bopping around listening to a Walkman because Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, just introduced him to Whitney Houston’s The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album (1993′s top selling album) and he is rocking out. Ernie needs the...0June 10, 2010

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 1.08 “Happy Birthday, Zack”

  • Season 1 Episode 6 Airdate: September 4, 1993 So, the Power Rangers are overseeing an international food fair to raise money to build a children’s playground. It’s the not Power Rangers per say, but the teenagers with attitude who are the faces behind the gay dinosaur masks. The festival is a big hit among the tucked in shirt and khaki pants set. It’s not really international. It looks like there are only three booths and two are for American food. One is for hamburgers and stuff and I think the other is for soul food, so of course they got...0May 22, 2010
