Why is every good TV show Cancelled
Me, I watched PR from Wild Force to RPM, never skipping a beat. I also wasn't aware of Sentai until midway through SPD, so I never really got it. The only Japanese series I ever watched straight through was Kamen Rider Kabuto, which wasn't bad, but started to get a little confusing in the end.
Anyway, I'm in any show for the story, period. With Disney I never really got annoyed with them until 10 eps into PROO. Then, when that was followed by Jungle Fury, I began making my own fanfics to satisfy myself, and still am, even though I'm only on Shinkenger so far.
Samurai, however, is just plain horrible and I want to beat Bulk's sidekick through the wall to get that annoying wierdo to shut up. I watched ep 1 up to his intoduction and have not watched anything else, although I am blaming Samurai on the fact that they had to start it on such short notice.
The only real thing that annoys me when I see bad PR now is that I keep thinking that I could do ten times better if I was the exec., but, then again, I'd probably either get into a similar problem as Guzelian, or get so annoyed by the budget constraints that I'd move on after one season.

I don't have low self esteem.
Over 10 years ago. And that was why they sold Power Rangers to Disney.

DON'T PUSH THAT BUTTON!
Not bankruptcy. It was FOX who sold Saban Entertainment to Disney in 2001 because they wanted the FOX Family channel, which is now ABC Family. Power Rangers was part of the buyout.

The only NZ seasons that seem to be near universally hated online is Overdrive and Jungle Fury. 5 passable seasons out of 7 isn't bad. A couple of those are exceptional seasons to a large number of fans.
The way Disney handled PR in the beginning isn't all that different from what's happening now. Putting lots of effort into promotion, taking the series back to it's roots with an MMPR-esque season that's light on previous continuity. They were airing classic seasons, practically around the clock. Episode were starting to be made available for download on itunes. They treated the series right.
But as time went on (according to the he said/she said from Disney reps over the years) Disney lost interest in a franchise they didn't wholly own. They couldn't even re-use the original theme without paying royalties to Saban. So yes by the end they had abandoned all hope on the series, but you can't say they didn't try.
I think it's fair to say Disney cared. They cared as much as a corporation that owns half the entertainment industry can care about a single property they only own 50% of. The only reason Power Rangers is perceived as being loved up and nurtured by Saban Brands is because this is it for them. This is all they have. This franchise is Haim Saban's last chance to make another shitzillion dollars before he dies.
