Trivia / History of Power Rangers Turbo

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer:
  • Turbo did not almost end the franchise. Ratings were down since the third season of Mighty Morphin, Power Rangers in Space was being planned before the second half (where the ratings started to go up for the first time since the decline in season 3) even began filming. The updated review removed this line.
  • In the revised version of the review, Linkara questions why Saban couldn't just skip Carranger and just adapt one of the pre-Zyuranger seasons, pointing to Jetman as a possible candidate. The deal Saban, now Hasbro, has with Toei states that they cannot skip a Sentai season (save for one) regardless of what that season contains. The reason why Saban/Hasbro can't adapt pre-Zyuranger seasons is because the agreement was for Zyuranger onward, and even if the deal had allowed them to use a prior Sentai, they would've still had to use Carranger footage at some point if they wanted to move onto Megaranger footage^note That being said, he still does have a point, as Saban did still have unused footage of the core 5 from Gosei Sentai Dairanger; while this would likely still have required them to adapt the Carranger mecha, as the Dairanger mecha had been used for the Thunderzords (which were destroyed), the sillier scenes on the ground from Carranger could have been replaced with Dairanger footage and spliced in with Ohranger and Carranger footage similar to Mighty Morphin, since Saban was allowed to adapt Kakuranger, despite the fact that the core 5 suits from Dairanger were not used, and Dairanger, Ohranger, and Carranger all featured the same color set for the core 5. The later Power Rangers RPM basically got around the issue of an unsuitable Sentai by ignoring the Sentai footage as much as possible.
