[PR] Future of Power Rangers

I think this thread should be stinkyed but thats just mean, anyways this thread will have the latest news on whats going on with Power Rangers, most of you probably know but in case you dont.

This just came from Linear Rangers site:
July 18th,2009

Well some VERY interesting news has developed this week. Nothing has changed in the fact that RPM will be the last new live action Power Rangers season. However, as I have changed the title to reflect, what we've learned now is that some old friends just may be returning.

Allow me to explain, while attending a convention, Tyler of the Power Rangers Podcast Rangercast, got to speak with Tony Oliver (Former Power Rangers writer, story editor, supervising producer & main man who helped develop the series). So Tyler first posted on his Twitter Page the following statement:

"Ranger fans! Tony Oliver heard thru the grapevine that Disney plans to air the first 3 seasons of MMPR unedited and cleaned up"

Then Tyler posted on Rangerboard to help explain a bit more:

"In his panel, in response to a PR question, Tony let slip that he got a call from a friend who does video work who was all like "You'll never guess what's on my desk." According to Tony, they're cleaning up (remastering, reformatting, digitizing, etc.) the video and plan to air it unedited. He doesn't know what channel."

Before anyone asks, both Tyler & Tony Oliver are VERY reliable sources when it comes to Power Rangers News & Information. There is no way they would mislead the Power Rangers Fandom.

So, what does this mean? Simple, it seems that to fill the space left empty by not having a NEW Power Rangers Season, Disney will fill that void with the first three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. As stated above, we do not yet know what network the shows would air on. But this will give a whole new generation & child audience a chance to see just how Power Rangers all began.

Another factor to consider is Bandai America's Power Rangers Toys. This could very likely mean a return of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toys. They likely would not be exactly the same as those originally released, but newly redesigned instead.

This is all very exciting news, and I will do my best to stay on top of it and post any new develops as they come.

That is Word for Word from Linear Rangers Site, I didnt write it, its all his

I'd rather them leave MMPR alone and give us something new instead of sprinkling some Disney magic all over Jason, Tommy, and the rest of the bunch.

Maybe they are doing this as to see what Sentai series will air once the 3 MMPR seasons end their run, perhaps they dont wanna adapt shinkenger and wait for it, launching a new PR season after that

It looks good on paper
