Flay: Well, the good news is, I'm not. However, it would be an honor to be punched in the dick by him.
Paradise: Happy sort-of birthday
edit: FUCK. I give you the band I should have gone to see to day:

the hell
why did you miss Yeasayer
90 miles to get to the concert and no ride to transport me there.
edit: also, the vaugly native american one was Red- but both he and Black guy were replaced to make the show seem less racist... by making it more monochromatic and therefor more racist.

Couldn't they have just formed a circle and gone, "now everyone pass your costume and giant robot to the person to your left" and be done with it?
fun fact: all or most of the fight scenes from the original series were cut from the japanese version, which is why the scenes where they fight monster were so different from the scenes where they were out of uniform.

Your logic has no place in modern television!
Modern television?
Next you're going to tell me you're still having a hard to adjusting to "talkies".
I got a haircut, but i think those guys dont use barbicide. my neck is all speckled red now. plus something bit me right on my sternum and is getting red. BARBECIDE.
Finding out things from your youth actually really sucked is terrible. Like watching Superman and actually seeing the bit where he flies around with lois and she's doing that inner mind poetry. Uggg...
Then again watching something from the past and realizing it is even more awesome than you thought was is fantastic. Gargoyles for example.
edit:
Also my wife was a huge fan of Power Rangers. I think I shattered her world when I told her that all scenes that don't specifically include the rangers out of costume were originally filmed in Japan for a completely different show called Super Sentai.
I always thought that show was dumb. It's weird to me that some people thought it was actually good. Maybe because I was older than the intended audience. I still watched it though. It's so bad it's good.
I am going to take this guy's jackhammer and throw it in the river and I don't care if he's attached to it.
He's been using it like, every day for the last week, starting at 8 am. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S YOUR JOB. I HATE YOU. HATE HATE HATE.
I can hear this man sneeze. Clearly. If I was talking to somebody at a normal loudness, right in front of me, in my room, we'd have difficulty understanding eachother. We're 7 floors up, but I think a lot of the noise bounces off the apartment building opposite ours.
Back when it was on sometimes I'd tune in to Power Rangers because it was on before something I actually cared out I think
I never liked power rangers, but the Spiderman cartoon was on right after that and I'd endure the last ridiculous minutes of giant robots fighting just to see every possible second of Spidey.
ND has built her vaulted throne on the backs of laborers and other common men. From high upon her seat she declares that plebians must toll in silence and deference to her demands.
Thank you for the involuntary reminder Flay -- I have still not invoiced for work I did almost 7 days ago. This is very poor form for me!
Power Rangers remind me of my halcyon babysitting years. The kids I babysat were obsessed with Power Rangers and 3 Ninjas and would frequently attempt to fight me. Good times...
It's kind of sad to look back years later on cartoons which you absolutely loved as a kid but never realised were thinly veiled vehicles for toy sales.
It's easy to suggest that nowadays a lot of shows do this blatantly and that cartoons were just better back then, as if this is a modern marketing strategy that didn't occur back then.
But then you see something from your childhood, realise how they were essentially no more than badly written animated toy advertisements, and you actually feel the burn of being duped, years later.
(M.A.S.K. I'm am looking at you here!)
Mysterious Cities of Gold, Dogtanian, and Ren & Stimpy never tried to sell me anything!
Edit: Mighty Max was blatantly just Polly Pocket for boys.
oh god I remember that! Did they ever actually find the right city? almost every time I saw an episode they found 'the city of gold' only it turned out to be fake gold, or only a little bit gold, or some other contrived bait-and-switch.

I have to say I cry a bit now looking at stuff like Thundercats... holy crap that was bad.
Although I recently watched avatar the last airbender at the behest of one of my friends and it seems I still like children's shows if they're good so I dunno

Exosquad still holds up. Thundercats... not so much.

Also, ND, my uncle is a builder, and apparently they cop a heap of abuse no matter what time they start working. :?

Also, I've got a Power Rangers t-shirt and it's badass and awesome and I love it and I wear it with pride.

Man, the 90's were awesome.
At least, from what I remember.
crossfirrrrrre
I loved Mask! I even have the theme song on my iPod!

That was such a weird show.
Preserve the innocence of your memories, MT! Don't ever watch it again. It is baaaaad...
Re. Mysterious Cities of Gold - memory tells me it went on for 12,000 episodes and they never found the city.
However, Wiki tells me it went on for only 39 episodes and that...
Now that's a kid's show!
God damn did they abuse that dog.
One time they put him on skis and shoved him down a flight of stairs!

Man I wanted those toys! Just the Megazord. Everyone else had a megazord...I had to play with my friend's megazords...
