I wonder if Nickelodeon would be able to show "A Friend in Need", even though it has Masked Rider in it. Hopefully they can also air the first 32 episodes in production order of MMPR1 without all the dung that got smeared on them. I also hope they can show episodes that they never aired on ABC Family and ToonDisney.
As for the 20-episode count for the upcoming 18th season, I think I'm going to take that with a grain of salt. One source said that there would be 26 episodes of PRDT or something, and there ended up being plenty more than that. So hopefully that will change in the final product we get.
It's cool that we'll get to see more episodes soon, especially with the second Power Morphicon convention on the horizon.
