Ernie (MMPR)

Ernie, played by the late Richard Genelle, was a supporting character from the show's early days all the way through Power Rangers Zeo. He was the owner of the Angel Grove Youth Center, the most popular hang out spot for teens in the area. Ernie was around to lend a helping hand or advice to various characters and was often annoyed by Bulk and Skull's antics in the show's first season. He was also a fan of the Power Rangers.

Ernie opened an outdoor cafe and a haiwaiin themed beach cafe in season three and Power Rangers Zeo, respectively. They only appeared in these seasons.

Ernie departed the show to do volunteer work in South America between the Turbo movie and series, leaving the Youth Center to Jerome Stone.
