For this month's featured character(s) we went with a little nostalgia. Going back to most of our child hoods and focusing on all those great tv shows. At the end of the week, we were left with a team of "TEENAGERS WITH ATTITUDE". The Power Rangers were virtually and unknown entity in the US and almost overnight it was not only a kid show but actually a pop culture icon. The series has gone on to have 21 official seasons. While there have been many memorable moments throughout the 21 seasons we will be focusing on the series that appeared strictly in the 90's through out the month.(while I know this does not have Tommy in it, for some of you younger members he was not originally on the show)
The Rangers were given their powers by Zordon and he derived those powers from prehistoric animals that had been harnessed into "power coins". When the morphed into their power ranger forms they gained all sorts of power ups. Not to forget the awesome zords they gained when the monsters were magically grown by Rita Repulsa. The each had their own zord but most often they formed together to make the Megazord.
The Original Rangers were so drastically different compared to some of the incarnations you see nowadays. The Power Rangers (for the time) was great at pairing great kid friendly action with character teaching moments. While it might be naive to believe but I feel the Power Rangers truly taught kids great values and responsibilities.
Which Ranger was your favorite? Also if you can have been any of the Rangers from the 90's, which would you want to be?

So, I recall watching the originals on repeat when I was a kid... And I stopped around Turbo, probably because of the the major character changes and that the plots were taking more of a Sci-Fi turn (which was too much for my tiny brain at the time lol).
And even though I want to vote for Andros' season because he's beautiful... I'm going for the season that I watched the most.
As for which Ranger I wanted to BE, I was always pissed off cuz the girls were yellow and pink. Both colors I hated. It wasn't until the blue Ranger from Ninja Storm that I actually wanted one of the suits. XD
*shrugs*

I like the Black Ranger. Adam was superior but I related to Zack and was sad when he left. But then there was Aisha. Also known as my woman.

I was a big fan of the original season when Goldar was still an actual threat. Then when Zeo came around I loved Tommy, Adam, and Jason as the Gold ranger.
Then of course there was PR in Space. The characters I was not found of in Turbo became actually relevant to me. That and the story line of In Space was awesome for a kids show. From the secretive, lone wolf Andros, the Psycho Rangers, Zane, Ecliptor and Astronemas relationship tied together with Andros, and last but not least wrapping up the whole original series involving Zordon and many of the allies from different seasons.
As much as I loved In Space, nothing beat evil to good green ranger. One of my favorite season 1 moments below.
