BY FAR THE WORST T.V. SHOW AND TOY LINE IN HISTORY!, October 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Rangers: Yellow Ranger Adventure [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It's obvious to a majority of people, (at least here in the United States) that the t.v. show known as the power rangers has to be, quite possibly one of the stupidest television shows ever shown to small children.
The origins of this show goes way back over 27 years ago, as it is known in Japan as Sentai. The Sentai show that the power rangers ripped off in 1993 is known as zyuranger sentai which debuted in Japan several years earlier. The difference between Sentai and power rangers is that at least sentai is watchable, although barely. The characters in the Sentai series weren't silly teenagers, but rather, true martial art superheroes who could transform themselves into Dinosaurs when necessary. The show was also geared for an older audience.
In the summer of 1993, a kid's television producer from America decided to bring the Sentai show to the U.S., albeit with awful, silly teenagers, rather than true martial artists superheros. After my nephew begged me to watch a t.v. show about karate chopping heroes who wear silly, muilti colored leotards who change into dinosaurs, I knew I had to see this, because, as I guessed it, it was ripped off directly from Japan's long running Sentai series. The power rangers are completely ridiculous, (A couple of them can't even fight, they just do these silly gymnastics!) as opposed to the Zyurangers who are true martial artists.
The toyline is awful, (looking like third rate Gundam robot toys, while the power rangers look like the same clowns in different colors, with these heads that flip back and forth!) and thank goodness that my nephew, as well as millions of other children have outgrown the idiotcy of them. Can you believe that this awful show was made into a movie back in 1995?
All I can say for fans of this ridiculous show and for those who feel compelled to stick up for it, is this, watch the Japanese Sentai Zyurangers and you'll see how much better they are over the really irritating american power rangers television show is! Thank goodness, both the American power rangers television show and the toyline has long faded from our exsistence!
