WF actually almost was the last season. Doug and Ann just convinced Disney to keep going.

This year feels different. You don't put a brand you are trying to feature on a weaker timeslot with no promotion. Toy Sales and ratings have been going down for awhile. Production costs have been rising in a bad economy. Last year consideration was given to doing animation as opposed to continuing live action. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is the last season. If it is, then its the marketablity of the brand that will bring the show back someday.

Doug & Ann should have kept their mouth shut then. At least it could have ended with at least the tiniest bit of dignity, instead of slowly dying and without any dignity and no hope of ever getting it back.

Actually, most people don't think the show got bad until the Kalish Seasons. I personally still enjoyed those. But thats when ratings and toy sales started to nose dive, well after SPD anyway. NS and DT actually did better then Space-WF in the ratings/toy sales. Dinothunder is considered a beloved season.

Also there is hope of getting the show back. Power Rangers is a long standing franchise. Just like Transformers, GI Joe, any other long standing franchise. There will always be revivals. There is going to be MMPR nostalgia.

While under Doug's control again it was better than Kalish's control but it was still garbage. Back up your claims on ratings and toy sales with factual evidence or don't make them. MMPR is beloved but it still is a crappy campy piece of !+%!, you are not helping your cause. Garbage is garbage regardless of idiots and retards loving it.

There is always hope of getting a show back like Transformers, GI Joe, & Power Rangers back but Power Ranger series dignity died years ago and can never come back. You clearly need to learn to read more thoroughly because I clearly stated the show's DIGNITY not the show itself.

And Power Rangers was more successful when it is campy. MMPR is the most popular series ever. And it wasn't all garbage. I've been rewatching it and can see why Kids loved it. Getting back to the concept of teenagers with attitudes his actually what the franchise needs. Thats why NS and DT were more successful. Power Rangers isn't a Sentai hack like Johnathon and later Bruce thought of it. Thats what helped to kill the franchise.
