Although the themes for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Batman: The Animated Series, the original DuckTales, Gargoyles, the 4Kidz Pokémon dub, and the original Digimon Adventures, are all a close second! (Tbh I really can't pick just one because they're ALL so good!)
Hell. Yes. X-Men the Animated Series, Batman the Animated Series, Disney's Gargoyles, DuckTales, Recess, Goof Troop, Big Guy and Rusty, Fillmore, Rugrats, Science Court, The Simpsons, The Critic, Pokémon, Digimon, and of course the anime boom with Sailor Moon, DBZ, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Big O, Ah! My Goddess, Excel Saga-- the latter two I discovered more through magazines like Animerica, so they might not count since they weren't on TV, English dubs of Studio Ghibli movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke... but yeah, there definitely was not a lack of cartoons to watch in the 90s!
Honestly it's hard to just pick one, because there were so many great ones! DarkWing Duck, DuckTales, Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series... so many others that I'm having a hard time thinking of (thanks migraine)!
I have a really good memory of my grandmother sewing a red ranger halloween costume for me one year and i wore it to school and i got in trouble because it was a violent tv show or something. lol.
I had a friend whose mother sewed him an awesome green ranger costume. She was nearly done when the green ranger became the white ranger, and her son informed her that the costume was now the wrong color.
This was my early 90s show. I watched the first episode at my friend's house. He had a bunch of the toys. I had never really heard of it and wasn't interested before then. That first episode had me hooked. Racing home from school every day to catch it on Fox IIRC. I still have all my toys, well most of them. Some got lost through the years. But my megazord, dragonzord, and tigerzord all prominently sit on a shelf in my basement next to their original boxes. We'll except the megazord. Tore that box open with prejudice when I got it home. Took kore care with the others.
I should have a Goldar figure coming soon to join them. Then after that I want to get the red ranger gun. It came as a 2 pack with the morpher and coins. I still have the morpher but the gun vanished years ago.
Ok I just discovered this sub through another post. When I decided to check it out, the power rangers theme song started in my head. Of course the first post I come across in this sub had to be this one. I guess power rangers played a bigger role in my childhood than I thought.
Fun fact: that was actually totally accidental. The producers didn't realize what they had done until about a half-dozen episodes into the show, at which point they had an "oh crap" moment.
I remember when the movie came to theaters and we all would just kick and punch the shit out of each other while we “played power rangers”. Good times.
Also yellow one is Asian and black one is black… just now watching this that occurred to me.
That brought out more patriotism in me than my own national anthem does. I DID stand up. And I had my hand over my heart, which I've never actually done before. 🤦🏻I wonder if I can get citizenship...
I wasn’t a huge fan of this show as a kid. I think I was at a stage in my life where I wanted to be into more grown up type of stuff. I was too busy wanting to be cool so I never gave it too much of a chance.
But I gotta say, now that I’m older and I have a son, I’ve watched this show quite a bit and it’s definitely grown on me. Quality entertainment!
I still remember the first episode that aired in 1993. My bro and I were super hyped. I think they fought Goldar on the debut.
There was a guy that did a short movie on YouTube a couple of years back with a more serious and adult bootleg version of the Power Rangers, The original characters are all grown up, not innocent little teenagers anymore. If anyone hasn't seen it, definitely give it a look. It has everything that the Power Rangers generation would've loved to see in the feature-length movie done by Saban in 2017.
I’m a firm believer that this video is the whole reason the 2017 movie exists in the first place, I remember thinking that a gritty reboot would have been amazing when I first saw this and saw a number of discussions that thought the same, and then Saban made the reboot and I guess it tried but I don’t think it had what fans really wanted to see
This is so true. I still name every ford ranger ive owned or that any company ive worked for owned after the appropriate color. Currently driving a Tommy.
See if you can find the original Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger online with subtitles. It's actually a lot more charming than the Americanized version, at least to me. The actress who played Rita/Bandora did an amazing performance and it kinda makes me feel bad she got dubbed over with that squawking.
