Trivia:

The birthdays of the original five Power Rangers were revealed in both an Interactive CD-Rom and on the back of their action figure boxes. Kimberly the Pink Ranger's birthday is on February 14th, Billy the Blue Ranger's birthday is on April 1st, Zack the Black Ranger's birthday is on May 3rd, Trini the Yellow Ranger's birthday is on August 9th and Jason the Red Ranger's birthday is on October 20th.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In episode 72, "Green No More Part I", Lord Zedd has captured the rangers in an energy field, while he walks around gloating. Duct tape is visible on his staff just below the "Z" presumably broken during rehearsal because it is used to fight a powerless Tommy later.

Quotes:

Goldar: Why do you continue to fight, White Ranger? Be smart, join forces with us!

Everyon Liked It

Everyone enjoyed the Power Rangers first seasons. The incredibly cheesy lines, ridiculous plots, and giant monster fight scenes made it all the more watchable. It was definitely watched by more people than you think when it first came out. Everyone tries to hide the fact that they watched it every time a new episode came on. The show was over the top and it rocked. The same thing was going to happen every episode, but it didn't matter. You knew there would be some small fights, Rita would get mad, make her monster huge.. which eventually lead to Morphin Time! Each villain had its own unique ability and look. They all made you laugh. The show lost its luster as it went on, but I guarantee you have to say the first seasons of Power Rangers were a total classic!
