i havnt really thought about it until now but there were a hell of a lot of power ranger rip offs in the 90s werent there? and power rangers lost its momentum after the first or second season. u would think they would have ripped off something that kepts its popularity a little longer. speaking of which, what is with all these new power rangers each season. why wont that show just die.
This might help explain a little bit why Power Rangers won't go away.

And yes, the show you want to look for is Masker Rider.

Kamen Rider, technically, is older than Power Rangers, or either been around close to the same amount of time. Both series started in the 1970s. Kamen Rider, to my knowledge, didn't have as many series for it.As I've said a million times on here, PR won't die, because it's still popular in Japan. It has been since about 1975. Our version just didn't dub over the 1975 version, and was a bit more ahead by going straight to the 1991 version.
Each season of Power Rangers is different in Japan. This includes Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, which was a mix of Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kakuranger for here.
Our version usually changed the storyline and all that stuff, hence hte combining of the three above to get three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, when they were originally stand alone plots. Every single one of them are. Each series always starts with a new plot, different characters, different enemies, etc.
Ever wonder why they had Tommy lose his powers and made him the white ranger later on? Because the green ranger died out in the original, and since that was too gruesome for American audiences, killing out a main character, they combined stuff from Dairanger, and just made him the "white ranger".
I forgot where I was going with this, to be honest. lol All I'm saying, is that Sentai is uber popular in Japan. The shows you claimed to being "ripoffs" really aren't, since the genre is so popular in Japan to young kids so they keep spewing them out, and as I pointed out earlier, Kamen Rider has been around in Japan just as long, or longer, than Power Rangers has.

that is very weird, I always thought that the Power Rangers was a 100% American Show that started in the early 1990's.

Look at our earlier episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Zyuuranger is 1992; we got it the following year as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Notice that Trini always looked masculine when in the suit? That's because for the original version, the yellow ranger was a male character by the name of "Boi". I liked him too from the bit I saw. lol
The red ranger too. He was much smaller in size than Jason was. My younger cousin, who was a huge fanatic of the show, always wondered why Jason was so small when in the costume; found out years later, it's because they used the footage from the original for fighting scenes.
Ever wondered why Rita never seemed to talk right, her mouth movements rarely ever matching what she's saying? Voice was dubbed in. Bandora (Rita) sounds 100x better than Rita Repulsa did.
Original version, there is no Alpha and Zordon. No Bulk & Skull. The rangers weren't "teenagers with attitudes". Instead, they were all guardians or something, who were put into a suspended sleep for millions of years to fight Bandora if she were ever to escape the thing she was trapped in.
Oh yeah, we musn't forget Power Rangers Turbo (Kaaranger) with Justin. In the suit, he's adult-sized. That's because for the original, the blue ranger was an adult. Well, close to it. His character was 17, but the actor looked older. For Turbo, aside from the red and blue ranger, did the other three ever have cars to drive? I can't remember.

It's probably more so due to the fact that his character represented the dragon.Radiation_DudeWell, I guess that explains why the Green Rangers Robot looked Similiar to Godzilla.
was Jason the first or second person to play the American Red Ranger in the original series, and what was the name of the other guy that played the red ranger when 3 of the original rangers moved away in that one episode?

I remember the episode where Alpha and that Big Head Guy Disappeared and the power rangers were shocked to see that they disappeared and then the blue ranger i think his name was billy climbed into a vent or something and crawled through it at the command center and then he discovered a secret room where they were making the suit for the white ranger formerly the green ranger, I thought he was cooler as the green ranger than the white ranger.
Jason was the first red ranger, Rocky became red ranger after Jason, Trini, and Zack moved away, Tommy became the red ranger during the Zeo season, and started as red ranger during the Turbo series. Once Tommy left the turbo rangers TJ took his place.

Don't forget the Super Sentai Time Capsule, even though there's a link on the Ranger Central page. This will show you all the shows that came before MMPR.

popular in japan, now filmed in new zealand, still shown in america, despite a lack of popularity in america. makes no sense to me. the growth of japanese programming being shown in america in general is starting to bug me. on the cartoon front it seems like every cartoon now shown is anime or anime inspired. the majority of arguments i hear about these shows are usually split in to two sides. either the people who hate it and think anime and japanese shows are lame, or the people who love anime and japanese shows but feel the "americanized" versions suck because all the "good stuff" is cut out and changed around. that is why i call them "rip offs". its taking the show, repackaging it, and turning it into something halfway new. either way, both sides seem to dislike it. if its popular in japan, great. but if its not popular here then why show it?

The other guy would be Rocky.
I stopped watching after they stopped using the zords they got in the Ivan OOze movie.

I honestly don't mind too much, the stuff they're bringing over, I just wish that it wasn't so much anime stuff. More than likely, I saw the shows before they got an American license anyway, like Naruto, the last three seasons of Sailor Moon (which we only got two of), Mahou Sensei Negima, Detective Conan, Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier, Digimon Savers, etc. The shows I wouldn't mind seeing, are the variety ones or more "live-action" stuff. The closest we probably have to that is the original Iron Chef.
For some people, you have your purists who only prefer subtitled anime or raws, but then you have those who could go either way, but, don't like stuff to be changed like the viewers are a bunch of idiots. You know, unnecessary jokes, personality changes with the characters, spellings of names where the pronunciation should be obvious, etc. It makes them feel stupid.
that is why i call them "rip offs".
