Viewership will be interesting during Turbo.
They're still doing pretty well, but Zeo's HYPE opening helps.

There needs to be a disclaimer because Turbo is so terrrible will turn a lot of people off, until the last few episodes leading to In Space. I feel many people will tune out before one of the GOAT seasons

Yeah, it would be a massive shame if people don't tune back into In Space... It really was so good.

Honestly

Even if Turbo is so terrible, I feel people will watch to riff on it.

Bless the Internet.
 
I think viewership will be fine. It won't hit 50-60k again but I think a lot of people will be interested to see what the other seasons are like.
 
Trying my hardest to find something to like about these latter seasons but...Fuck this blows. And I legit liked S1. But....fuck, this blows man.
 
Tommy is Native American and he's the red ranger.

Isn't that the point of watching this? It's so bad it's good? Basically MST3King the whole series.
 
I'd say Zeo is definitely a better show than season 1 of MMPR. And if anything, they went back to the simpler times of the first season in a way.
 
That poor kid is going to get eaten alive by chat.

as a kid, I fucking hated the kid. I don't know if it's because he was lame as fuck, or if I was jealous because I wanted to be a power ranger somehow this asshole got to be.


either way, I'm not sure who the kid was supposed to be for.



I just imagine those cigar chomping 50 year old execs. "Kids! We gotta appeal to the damn kids! How bout we put a kid in one of the suits! They'll eat that shit up!"

The relationship stuff is a massive step up over the slapstick crap of s2 and 3 but, yeah, it's still wrong. They tried to turn the show into Mighty Morphin' Sweet Valley High.

No it really isn't. S1 at least had a great cast with actual chemistry. It was always a show built on stock footage from Japanese television, but Zeo so far is barely watchable. It's awful. S1 was a thousand times better than this.

It's better than what I've seen of S3, that I'll give it. But still.....the fun's been sucked out of the show.
 
im just waiting for the dope in space and lost galaxy themes. Honestly the absurdity of the episodes and the cuts b/w mmpr and the sentai series is what keeps me going. Plus chat

Big Bad Beetleborgs was killing Power Rangers in the ratings at the time, and that had an all kid main cast, so they thought they could adapt that idea to PR and get similar results.

Looking back at it, it's terrible. But isn't that what every single kid watching Power Rangers would imagine? Being on the team? Dreaming up what his color and costume would look like?

Justin was wish fulfillment for the young Power Ranger viewer. It was just hilarious watching him grow when he was in costume.

Nah, the first 3 MMPR seasons really weren't great at all. Like, the Green Ranger arc, the White Ranger's first appearance, and The Wedding are the only real stand out episodes. And I say this as someone who was obsessed with MMPR when it first debuted. But I was a kid back then; watching it again years later... Oof. It's very rough around the edges.

Yeah, I definitely don't agree with that. It's been just as watchable as the other MMPR seasons for me. I think nostalgia is settling in with some of this stuff though. This is basically the same show in the end.
