I personally watched every series up to Mystic Force and a little of Jungle Fury before I started to lose interest in the repetitiveness of the show.
Wow I had no idea Power Rangers went on for that long. Green Ranger was awesome, wasn't he the same guy as White Ranger?
ReplyDeleteYea, until I did this little research I didn't know there was a new series EVERY YEAR up til now. And yes, in the original couple of series Tommy Lee was the Green and then White Power Ranger, eventually becoming The Black Ranger in DinoThunder
ReplyDeleteI fondly remember the original I stopped watching some time before zeo started I think, man can't really remember that far back now days wow!
ReplyDeleteYea lol, I've barely started college and remembering stuff like this makes me feel like an old man!
ReplyDeleteI watched a little, but to be honest I never paid attention, I just liked the noise and all the pretty colors of the Tele.
