You should too.

Ai ai ai ai!

Ahahaha, it's brilliant. The green ranger is fighting the white ranger but they're the same person! OMG!

It's morphin' time! Oh, the memories.

I used to watch Power Rangers 12 years ago.

Real Monsters sucked. Rocko's Modern Life was great.

I never "got" Ren & Stimpy. It wasn't funny.

Real Monsters and Rocko's Modern life were gold.

Tonight's nostalgic viewing: Ren and Stimpy

I'd forgotten how wierd this show was. I think it made more sense when I was 7 than it does now.

Narrator: It's log for girls!
Girl 1: I'll do her hair
Girl 2: I'll do her make-up
Unison: She's beautiful!
Chorus: Everybody wants log, Log it is so great, Everyone wants log!
Narrator: Log, from Blammo

I don't really want to start another topic so I'll put my link in here:

Go to the third character down, T-Bone. Oh dear...

I remember spending a lot of my childhood watching Power Rangers. Loved the first series, got many of the toys etc. Then there was the movie (I think it was the Ivan Ooze one... how do I still remember this stuff?) which my brother has on video... and then there was a second series.

However, I stopped watching it after the third series, because for some reason, the bad guy (Lord Z I think...) randomly gave them all new megazords, and it just bugged/confused the hell out of me.

Always laughed at the comical death of the villain in each episode though... falling over and randomly exploding was class...

Yeah, well, in my earlier days when I was up until 6am every night, I caught some of the first Big Brother repeats, and even though I knew who won and what Nasty Nick was doing, I found myself drawn to it.

Of course back then they tried to make it out to be a social experiment, which to me was interesting. Now it's just another way of churning out Z list celebrities.

Woah! Lets not get carried away and say things we don't really mean.

Indeed. Some Power Rangers trivia for you now: ever noticed that the yellow ranger outfit didn't have a skirt but the pink ranger did? That's because in Japan the yellow ranger was a bloke.

When it first came out I was about 10, and even then I laughed at it. When I went to America it was on every morning, and I got into it. I know, I know, that's terrible, but it's hard to watch something every day without getting into it (even Big Brother becomes interesting if you watch it enough)

I always thought it was stunt doubles in the suits, but I was shocked to find out all the footage of them as Rangers, and all the Zoid stuff, was a few years old and taken from the Japanese programme. Every time the Japanese stuff changed, the American show had to compensate for it with their storylines.

Kimberly was canny fit, though...
