Power Rangers has been canceled. (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=201297)

Out of curiosity, am I alone in my spluttering rage over the existence of Power Rangers? It's one of the standard bearers for the toy-sales-over-quality ethic, it's gone on far longer than it ever deserved and, to top it all off, it has the gall to inflict itself on supposedly animation-dedicated spots of TV like Toon Disney and ITV's Toonattik. For crying out loud, putting someone in a silly rubber costume does not constitute animation. I'm not the kind of person who gets picky over terminology like this, but man alive. It's not rocket science.

Ding dong the witch is dead, as they say.

I have never watched more than a brief snippet of any Power Rangers episode. The show isn't geared towards middle-aged men so I didn't expect to like the show. But, frankly, is it really any worse than the tons of garbage cartoons that were out there that did exactly the same thing: sell merchandise? Given all the Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, Masters of the Universe, ad infinitum, that has been aired, I don't think that Power Rangers are anything to get overly enraged over. It's just the same ol' same ol'.

Fi. . .na. . .leeeeeeee! We were up to, what, 13,14,20 incarnations now? I'll still never forgive the series for contributing to the death of Sonic SatAM.

GOOD. I really, really despise that show with their "HUHHS!" and "HIYAS!" and crappy overacting.
