Hmm, if a show is considered overrated by some and underrated by others, doesn't that make it well rated in the end? Well, here it goes.
Overrated: Ninja Storm This is really the only series I could not get into well. I watched every episode to make sure before I made a concrete opinon and ultimately felt that despite having some great moments, that they were far outweighed by the fact that you could not take the show seriously. I know some like this aspect of the show and how Lothar and other characters would joke. But I did not like the humor much at all. If I want humor, I still go with SPD, which for me had many more positive aspects. Plus after seeing some of Hurricanger and reading about it, I feel there was so much more potential than what was ultimately shown.
Underrated: Well, Wild Force is pretty underrated. That's pretty much a given. Most pr series with questionable acting seem to have driven down many people's opinions of shows. I do admit that they made Cole into a real newb for "Forever Red", but really I ultimately felt that this was one of the first seasons that we had a lot of meaningful and enjoyable fillers that served a purpose. I always felt I was learning more about the characters, getting a good lesson, or seeing some hidden plot elements unfold. Only show that compared to this is Lost Galaxy really. Although Time Force had it's moments too that I can't ignore in retrospect. Toxica and Jindrax were a good balance of good humor and evilness. They got developement too, not just the good guys. I loved the story archs as well. Oh and as long as I am in underrated, Turbo and Lightspeed Rescue seems a close second, because of the Justin haters and people not liking the new direction LR took PR into with its severing of all previous plot elements except for the crossover episodes.

Overrated - All series of MMPR up to the end of Zeo
People say that the original is always best. Not in this case. I am embarassed to say that ZyuRanger is way better than MMPR. Heck, ZyuRanger, DaiRanger and KakuRanger own MMPR. Of course Dai and Kaku do though. Zeo was pretty much a joke. They should've killed Kat off. Shittest British accent I have ever seen, me being British, I just find that stereotypically insulting really. Lemme see, the dubbing was really ****, they should've had a boy in it instead of keeping a shemale in yellow tights as a character. Boi is an awesome member of ZyuRanger, I hated to see his character portrayed by a woman. But god rest Thuy Trang's soul. :disappoin
Underrated - Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force
A lot of people I see don't like Turbo because of Justin. I liked him because when I was watching this series I was like 7, and he inspired me that if he could be a Power Ranger, then so could I so i still respect him. Although the dubbing of him as the Blue Ranger is a small price to pay considering its counterpart CarRanger is a complete parody of itself. (Gotta see that series myself someday!:thumbs: ) I did love it when the first team got replaced. They were getting cliché. Okay, so what if you've been around since Season 2! Piss off, leave college and get jobs! Oh right they did that.
Lightspeed Rescue, based off an awesome sentai series that is known as GoGoV. I just love everything about this. The suits, changers, mecha, weapons and the characters. Even if Kelsey again portrays a male yellow Ranger, it's all good. They had good character storylines such as Chad with the Mermaid, Marina I think her name was and Ryan, the dude with the cursed Cobra tatoo and everytime he morphed, it would make its way up his back and if it got to the top, he'd die. :buttrock:
Time Force.....RULES. I just love this series. Nice rocky theme tune, hawt Pink Ranger, but yet again the yellow ranger portrays a boy in Sentai and a girl in PR. In some scenes I'm like, "Huh, she has boobs now" and in other series you'd notice a penis in her tights and no boobs and you're just like "AAAHHHHH! SHE-MAN!" :sweat:
That was my 2pence.

MMPR: defently overrated. Its the first PR series even those that hate Power Rangers now even enjoyed it, atleast back in the day.
Zeo: Probaly over, because its like a sequal to MMPR
Turbo: Underrated, Main reason: Justin
In Space: Overrated due to the infamous finale and Zordon plot. Its like taking the bad out of Turbo and replacing it with good stuff. I however don't care for Turbo.
Lost Galaxy: I don't know. I guess both?
Lightspeed: Under, I don't know why. I loved this season too.
Time Force: Overrated. Most of the mature fandom loves it.
Wild Force: Underrated: another underrated season I love.
Ninja Strom: Depends, Its loved my most younger fandom and girls but to the mature fandom(like here) hate it
Dino Thunder: Overrated
SPD: Underrated, Just because there is a new EP in PR that replaced Doug

Ok, guys, I need to make something clear again. Just because you like something doesn't make it underrated, no matter how much you want to tell us you like it again. Just because you hate something doesn't make it overrated for the same reasons. Ninja Storm is not overrated. Time Force is definitely not underrated. That is all.
