Episode Title: Return of an Old Friend Part 1
Original Airdate: February 28, 1994

Over the course of the last 40+ episode of Power Rangers there is one big question I’ve had, “don’t these kids have parents?” I mean think about it, giant monsters attack Angel Grove left and right, yet we’ve never seen any sign of parental units for any of our five teenage heroes. We’ve seen plenty of uncles, but no actual parents. That changes now in today’s episode, Return of an Old Friend part 1. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:49

Episode Title: Plague of the Mantis

Our adventures with evil members of the animal kingdom continues with this week’s episode of Power Rangers. This time we have a monster insect, and if you’re going to have a monster insect…this is the one to pick. Let’s face it, Mantis’ are scary. The female eats the male after bumpin’ uglies.

Episode Title: To Flea or not to Flea
Original Airdate: February 15, 1994

Quite a few of the monsters featured on this series have been based on animals. There are a lot of vicious creatures out there in nature, after all. Sometimes, though, the makers of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had to turn to some lesser members of the animal kingdom. So, in this episode the rangers are going to get fleas in To Flea or not to Flea. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:46

Episode Title: Crystal of Nightmares
Original Airdate: February 14, 1994

The pressures of creating episode after episode of a hit TV series can be pretty high. Most weekly shows end up churning out about 24 episodes each season, but in the case of a daily show like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the producers had to come up with 60 episodes. So, you can’t really fault them for turning to that tried and true method of making a quick cheap episode…the clip show. Here it comes in the form of Crystal of Nightmares. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:45

Episode Title: Lions and Blizzards

It’s becoming a regular zoo on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with our last few episodes. Last week we had to deal with a monstrous fish! This time, we get two animals for the price of one as Rita unleashes a creature that is part lion and part goat. I don’t make this stuff up, folks! Get ready for today’s episode, Lions and Blizzards. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:44

Episode Title: Something Fishy
Original Airdate: February 9, 1994

Many episodes ago we had a story where Trini had to overcome her big fear of heights to help the other rangers. Well, this time it’s Billy’s turn. He’s got a big fear he’s gotta face, but it’s a bit more unique than Trini’s phobia. Billy is afraid of…fish. Of course, Rita is ready to exploit that in today’s episode, Something Fishy. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:43

Episode Title: A Pig Surprise
Original Airdate: Feb 8, 1994

Those Power Rangers are always doing good things. If they aren’t saving Angel Grove from giant monsters, they’re planting trees, or recycling, or something like that. Well, this time they’re handing out animals on Angel Grove’s pet adoption day. They end up getting more than they bargained for, though, in A Pig Surprise. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:42
