The Anniversary Brothers TV Podcast: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary

Senior Writer Aaron Sarnecky and Senior TV Columnist Josh
Sarnecky are back. This month they’re celebrating the 30th
anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Joining them is
Anthony Desiato, founder/owner of Flat Squirrel
Productions and host of Summoning the Zords.


Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is the first iteration of Power
Rangers, which is based on the Japanese franchise Super Sentai.
The first episode aired on Fox Kids on August 28, 1993. The show
ran for 145 episodes and ended on November 27, 1995, in the lead
up to the Alien Rangers miniseries.


The Power Rangers are a superhero team of “teenagers with
attitude.” Together they defend Angel Grove and the world from
evil. The initial Rangers are Jason (Austin St. John), Billy
(David Yost), Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones), Trini (Thuy Trang),
and Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson). Quickly joining their ranks in
Season 1 is Tommy (Jason David Frank).


Power Rangers took the world by storm, and new series continue to
follow. 2017’s Mighty Morphin reboot movie was a
commercial failure, leaving the franchise’s future on the big
screen uncertain.


Aaron, Josh, and Anthony look at the show’s first episode, also
discussing their history with the franchise and the 30th
anniversary special on Netflix.


You can listen to Josh and Aaron’s podcasts on the first
Power Rangers movie, as well as Power Rangers
Wild Force.
