I dont blame Disney for how bad PR was before RPM started. It was Kalish who screwed PR up. I mean DT was amazing! and then SPD was good until the end. MF and OO and JF were just horrible.
I think that Kalish only stayed on after Mystic Force because he still needed a job while he got Aaron Stone off the ground. He practically admitted it in an interview. Plus, look at the amount of effort put into Aaron Stone, and the effort put into MF-JF. Aaron Stone is actually well-written, well produced, and doesn't teach kids stupid morals like SPD-JF did.
Ugh...Hello, Go-Onger anyone?...Do I need to remind you that PR's age demographic is for a younger audience so It would maintain it's kiddy form regardless. Besides, KRDK was made for older kids...What do you expect?
I never liked Go-onger and I was hoping that because was RPM was rumored to be dark for older audiences, it would be at the level of Time Force or something, but nope. When it first premiered, it looked like it was gonna be like that, but then it started to reveal its "Disney colors".
Like I said, I hope Judd Lynn turns this show around.
It was during Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, and Time Force as well as certain parts of the Zordon era. Now if you're talking the DISNEY era, then yeah. They never had dark seasons. Saban, on the other hand, had a few dark seasons from time to time.
They weren't dark dark, but dark as in more serious.
