In the world of television, a “pilot” episode is the one chance you have to make or break your show getting to air. If it doesn’t make the cut, it’s consigned to the film vault of history, never to be seen. It’s extremely unheard of for a franchise to get two pilots. Star Trek: The Original Series being one of those rare second chances.
Bafflingly it’s been assumed for years that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had three pilots. As Tony Oliver, co-writer and developer of the Power Rangers pilot, first revealed at Power Morphicon in 2007, “the pilot episode, which turned into the first episode [“Day of the Dumpster”], they actually did three times.”
That means they shot three separate pilot episodes, right? Well, yes, but also no. It’s very complicated so we did the biggest deep dive research on the Power Rangers pilot ever. What we uncovered changes everything...

This Power Rangers Beast Morphers review contains spoilers.
Power Rangers Beast Morphers Episode 10
For a franchise that sometimes utilizes comedic side characters, Power Rangers doesn’t do overly comedic episodes as often as you think. This is assuming you don’t think Every episode of Power Rangers is hilarious by the sheer nature of its very concept, but if you’re reading this review you probably don’t chuckle at spandex wearing heroes or the hilarious amount of quick zooms in every episode of the show. Not that my co-worker laughed about those things as I watched an episode of Megaforce recently. Anyway, where was I?
Power Rangers and comedy. Since the very nature of the show can be seen as campy, Power Rangers doesn’t delve into overt comedy too often.

A perennial institution of children’s programming, the Power Rangers have stuck around for 25 seasons of punching rubber monsters in spandex and teaching us all valuable lessons about teamwork. Obviously, its longevity is at least partially due to how cheap it is to make, since every Power Rangers season is mostly repurposed from the long-running Japanese tokusatsu series “Super Sentai,” splicing Japan’s spandex fight footage and Zord fights and filming new stuff with English-speaking actors.
While most Power Rangers seasons can be more than a little formulaic, to say the least, never let it be said the show shied away from the surreal and bizarre. After all, this is a show whose basic plotline was that “teenagers with attitude” get in a giant robot made of dinosaurs to fight ghoulies sent by a witch who lives on the moon, under orders from a floating head in a tube.

The first thing you notice when you watch the trailer for Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim" is just how pretty it looks. It's a really good-looking movie. This is the Charlize Theron of motion pictures, people. The semi-cheesy Charlie Hunnam voiceover matters not, because you can't take your eyes off the screen.
The second thing you notice when you watch the trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's "Pacific Rim" is just how much it reminds you of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," the adorable/horrific early '90s children's television program. If you were born in the middle of the Ronald Reagan administration and owned a television, you've caught at least one episode of the show. It was unavoidable for a while.
The third thing you notice is exactly how much you want to compare and contrast the two pop culture gems, so then you do it for a website on the intranets.

The folks at JEFusion.com shared footage from this year’s Power Morphicon of Saban Entertainment’s promo reel for next year’s Power Rangers series. Their seventeenth series, Power Rangers Megaforce, will be based on the thirty-fourth of Toei Company’s Super Sentai series, Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
Starting with the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers in 1993, based on Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Saban has been producing series using costumes, props and action footage from the Japanese originals. The series have remained a perennial hit in the States, as the original series has done in Japan for the past thirty-six years.
It’s not the first time the name has appeared in entertainment either. One of the original sentai series had “mega” in the title; Denji Sentai Megaranger, which was used to create 1998′s Power Rangers in Space. Action film fans may remember the Hal Needham directed MegaForce, starring Barry Bostwick and Persis Khambatta.
