As a child I was a total "Ranger Head." I had the trading cards, t-shirts, and dolls. I absolutely loved everything about the series, even the bad guys. I vividly remember when Tommy became the White Ranger and took over leadership from Jason, the Red Ranger. I was fuming mad and was yelling at Zordon through the television set. (Now that I'm thinking about it maybe that's why my parents had me watch Power Rangers in the basement.) Back on topic, I never liked Tommy after he lost the Green Ranger Powers. It sort've became "The Tommy Show."
Another thing that really upset me was when Jason, Trini, and Zack left. The reason they left was because they were going to a teen peace conference in Switzerland! WTF!!! Even at the tender 10, I knew something was up when three new guys showed up wearing red, yellow, and black. I had a bad feeling, but I was in such denial because Jason, Trini, and Zack were without a doubt my absolute favorites. When they finally left I cried SO HARD! I'm not kidding, I think that was the first time I went into a depression like stated. I vowed right then and there to never again watch another episode. I tried my best not to, but every once in a while my curiosity got the best of me and I would watch it. I also watched both movies in the theatre. I recently downloaded a few of the original episodes. I still believe that the chemistry of the original 5 can't be topped!
Plus, the theme song was rockin!
