Now, sure, I can see several flaws in the overall performance delivery, but it still conveys the message in ways that kids understand. I was 7 when the show debuted, and I loved it. An adult won't get the same thing out of it as a child will. I really don't see fair judgment in many reviews here that bash it after re-watching it as an adult. And on the few occasions when it could be said that they lost, that lost honorably and were happy with what good came out of it. The show stressed that people had to work together as a team to fight evil, and when situations grew worse, they didn't give up, and they found a way to come through. Jason was the brave team leader, Zach was the "smooth" dancer, Billy was the smart and resourceful one, Trini was determined and helpful, Kimberly was humble and graceful, and Tommy was noble and selfless. It had characters that kids could see and look up to. It did so in a way that kids liked, a way that was "cool" during its time. Did it succeed it conveying these messages? I think so. Power Rangers was meant for kids to watch, to be able to understand and follow along, and to learn from the cheesy and repetitive themes that good wins over evil, teamwork is a great thing, and that you have to believe in yourself. If they had the money to hire people to win awards for superb acting and writing, they wouldn't have wasted their time on a kid show. Kid shows didn't have to have the best acting or best writing. Yeah, well, guess what: it wasn't made for you to go back and watch as an adult. Nearly every one of them is saying how now that they've gone back and watched it as an adult, it's got horrible acting, horrible dialog, and cheesy and repetitive themes. I don't see why everyone here is bashing the original Power Rangers show.
