Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Notes

Trivia

 * "Bones", was the name of the first monster to ever battle the Power Rangers in the inception of the series. Although in the lost episode (the original Pilot), they battled "King Sphinx", and Sphinx appeared again in the episode titled, "A Pressing Engagement" (the switch was due to the fact that Dora Sphinx was the first monster that the Zyurangers had to use their Daizyujin to beat, and since the pilot had to show the Megazord, which was an integral part of the show, they decided to use footage from that fight).
 * Billy Cranston (David Yost) wears blue plaid boxer shorts. In the episode "Power Ranger Punks," Billy and Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) become punks after drinking Rita's potion. Viewers can see the top of Billy's boxer shorts in his punk outfit, which is a blue plaid pattern. However, after the spell is removed by Alpha and Zordon, Billy immediately notices this and hides the top of his boxer shorts from sight.
 * The suits of several monsters were modified in some fashion in order to create new monsters for American footage. Such monsters were:
 * Pudgy Pig was disassembled, and parts were used for Turkey Jerk in Season Two's "Storybook Rangers."
 * Mr. Ticklesneezer was repainted and clad in a Santa Claus-like suit, becoming Grumble the Elf in Season Two's "Storybook Rangers."
 * Snizard was repainted and modified with a cobra hood to become the Cobra Monster in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue's "The Cobra Strikes."
 * Chunky Chicken was also disassembled for use in Turkey Jerk.
 * Grumble Bee was repainted and given buck teeth to become Waspicable in Power Rangers: In Space's "A Wasp with a Heart."
 * Primator was repainted and given extra fur, and became the Snow Monster in Season Two's "Storybook Rangers."
 * Salaguana was disassembled into the reptillian parts of Triter from Power Rangers Zeo's "King for a Day."
 * Silverhorns was repainted and a tongue was added, becoming Repellator in Season Three's "A Friend in Need."
 * Six video games based on this show were produced, one for Sega Genesis, one for Sega CD, one for Sega Game Gear, two for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (one being called Power Rangers the Fighting Edition) and one for Game Boy.
 * Ron Wasserman composed and wrote the original Power Rangers theme song, a full length, 4 minute long track used for promotion. It's title is "Go Go Power Rangers". The TV version happens to be the shortest (and most simple) theme for a Ranger series, consisting of only 2 sentences that keeps getting repeated: "Go Go Power Rangers" and "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers".
 * As is commonly known now, despite the Yellow Ranger being a female within Power Rangers, in Zyuranger the Yellow (or Tiger) Ranger, named Boi/Boy, was male. Due to this there is a more noticeable change in the physique of the Yellow team member than the other rangers, when the show cuts to Sentai footage.
 * Walter Jones (Zack), Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and David Yost (Billy) didn't do martial arts before the show, though Jones was a dancer and Johnson and Yost were gymnasts. So they took self defense classes and incorporated their talents into the choreography for the fight scenes. Austin St. John (Jason), Thuy Trang (Trini) and Jason David Frank (Tommy) were all martial artists long before the show.
 * The S1 episodes that used Zyuranger footage would commonly have the Rangers protecting a child due to the fact that Bandora's plots centered around attacking children. the American plots removed the child subplot from most of the episodes but some footage stayed where a Ranger would defend a child of the day from the Dora monster.
 * This season, Mighty Morphin 2, and Power Rangers Zeo were the only three seasons to have episode counts that exceeded their Sentai counterparts. This season has ten more episodes than Zyuranger.
