These commercials from the early 90s made me teary when I watched them. The music was just emotional to little 1990s me.

Truly the most moving rendition of a black man singing about cotton, ever.

I hated Power Rangers when they came out. An overacted pseudo martial arts crappy special effects life action version of Voltron? ehnothankyou.
Yet I found myself watching it… at first just to sample what the hell this crap was that everyone was so into. then because it was on and surrounded by better quality programming on Fox Kids’ afternoon lineup. then… because I started to get a Kevin Sorbo Hercules type entertainment out of it.

SEASON 1:

How can that theme NOT pump you up? I mean come on. I also liked that the black guy was the Black Ranger, the Asian was the Yellow Ranger and the white girl was the Pink Ranger. woot for stereotypes! Seriously. That’s not sarcasm. Woot for fkking stereotypes.

SEASON 1 with the addition of the Green Ranger:

So much can change in a year though… By season 2, Rangers were already replaced by new “teenagers with attitude”, new asian themed Mega Zords replaced the original dinosaur ones, Tommy the green Ranger had become the godly leader of the pack as the White Ranger, Rita got replaced by Lord Zed, and the black and the asian swapped Ranger costumes…

SEASON 2:

Then for season 3 they decided to mix it up even more and bring Rita back and drop the Space Cowboy theme and turn them all into straight up ninjas…

SEASON 3 (1995 – 1996):

from the late 80s. Features that kid from “Christmas Story”.

The first season opening credits. I’ve never been fond of this season. I prefer the remaining seasons with the Powells myself. But I love this intro the best with the softer sexier tone to the voice by Shandi Sinnamon.

Picking the pace up, with the new family in the home.

The final intro.

I busted the hell up at the sheer comic genius of “you viewers are lucky, where the heck is Plucky?” every time. The symmetry, the increased pace of the song – it got me pumped up as hell.

Seth: I joined this class because I thought I was going to be cooking with a partner. But she’s never here, and I don’t get twice the grades for doing all the work.
Teacher: I didn’t invent odd numbers, Seth.
Seth: I know, but look at Evan. Just look at him.
Evan: [His partner is tying on his apron] Hey, don’t keep me waiting much longer, I’m getting impatient up here.
Seth: I’m over here in my unit, isolated and alone, eating my terrible tasting food, and I have to look over at that. That looks like the most fun I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and it’s B.S. – excuse my language. I’m just saying that I wash and dry; I’m like a single mother. Look, we all know home-ec is a joke – no offense – it’s just that everyone takes this class to get an A, and it’s bullshit – and I’m sorry. I’m not putting down your profession, but it’s just the way I feel. I don’t want to sit here, all by myself, cooking this shitty food – no offense – and I just think that I don’t need to cook tiramisu. Am I going to be a chef? No. There’s three weeks left of school, give me a fuckin’ break! I’m sorry for cursing.
Teacher: All right, Jules’ partner isn’t here either, pair up with her, station four.
Seth: Jules? Alright I’ll give it another shot – give home-ec another shot.
