MIKE: Quinn Martin, everybody... Quinn Martin.
[Tom whistles.]
>V. _BITS OF INFO YOU NEVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE POWER RANGERS_
CROW: If we didn't want to know, WHY are you posting it???
>--Billy has a Yellow Belt in Karate.
TOM:[sarcastic.] Oh, I REALLY wanted to know that.
>--The "Special Weapons" the PRs get in "Gung Ho!" have the word "Zyuranger"
> clearly printed on the side (in English). Zyuranger, for the
> uninitiated, is the Japanese tv series from which Season One of the
> Power Rangers got its battle footage.
MIKE: Well, that's ACTUALLY interesting.
>--The outside of the Command Center makes a cameo appearance in the movie
> "Deadlock", starring Rutger Hauer and Mimi Rogers. Instead of it being
> stuck in the desert, though, it's situated in a very nice park with
> several trees.
>--There are 11 types of putties that I've seen (there are probably more,
> but I've never really bothered to check). These are:
> Ball-handed putties
> Blade-handed putties
> Regular Glove-handed putties
> Paddle-handed putties
> (these four come in a pumpkin variety as well)
> Football Putties
> Morphing Putties (seen in eps like "Bad Reflection" and "No Clowning")
> Super Putties
CROW: The Putty Putties.
TOM: The Play-Dough Putties.
MIKE: The Silly-Putty Putties.
CROW: The Action Grip-Handed Putties.
TOM: The Patty Putties.
CROW: The No-Hand Putties.
MIKE: The Suction-Cup handed Putties.
TOM: The Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Grudunza Putties.
CROW: The POTTY Putties.
MIKE & TOM: Eeewwwwwww!
>--There were 50 episodes of the original Zyuranger series, from which
> 60 episodes of MMPR were culled.
>--Only one monster was ever used twice (excluding semi-regular appearances
> by Rita's crew, i.e., Goldar and Scorpina) -- Pudgy Pig. One could be
> picky and mention all the cameos in "Island of Illusion, part 1", but
> since they were only illusions, and no actual fighting was involved,
> they don't count.
TOM: Thank heavens, for that!
>
>

MIKE: YOU'RE the one writing this.. *You* should know.
>most people say it's because in the original series, the Green Ranger
>was a late arrival who got killed off after a while. This means less
>footage to hack...I mean, utilize. Personally, I think it's a
TOM: No, you meant hack.
>secret plot to prevent the drooling masses of Tommy/Jason Frank
>fans from going into mass hysteria by minimizing the amount of
>air time he gets. But that's just me.
MIKE: Who is going into mass hysteria because of the amount of
air time Billy/David Yost is getting.
> Another thing that changes every now and then is the
>actor who provides the voice for Zordon. Sometimes it's David
>Fielding; sometimes, Bob Manahan. It kinda' looks like the
>switch happened somewhere around the middle of the season, but
