– Following its debut in 1993, Saban’s iconic live-action pop
culture series, Power Rangers quickly became the most watched
children’s television program in North America. Emphasizing the
importance of teamwork, responsibility and helping others by
following the adventures of a group of ordinary young people who
“morphed” into superheroes, this long-running series has been
seen in more than 60 countries, translated into numerous
languages, and remains a mainstay in children’s programming
blocks. For 19 years, the highly entertaining saga and fan
favorite characters from Power Rangers have captivated children
and adults alike and are beloved by legions of fans worldwide.
Now you can return to where the phenomenon began and re-live
