Before Power Rangers was Power Rangers, it was pitched as a show called Galaxy Rangers and it was really freakin' weird. It was also a lot different than what the show ended up becoming. For example, the original Rangers included a martial arts expert (Red Ranger), a detective with an unusual style (Black Ranger), a clumsy aerobics instructor (Pink Ranger), an athletic heartthrob (Blue Ranger), and a struggling novelist (Yellow Ranger). They definitely weren't high school teens. It's really fascinating to see what the original vision of this series was.
This was released awhile ago, but I hadn't seen it until now. I'm sure some of you may have already watched this, but in case you haven't, you can watch it now. It's pretty hilarious. Who would have thought that this would have turned out to be the huge multi-million dollar hit that it became?!

It’s hard to believe, but starting in 1947 (Howdy Doody), with very few exceptions, there has been at least one Western on TV every season. In 1984, the genre took the year off (probably due to Little House fatigue), and there was some downtime after Deadwood ended and before Justified premiered (2007-2009), but other than those four years, some form of Western, be it traditional, revisionist, steampunk, or sci-fi hybrid, has always graced our screens. Here is a brief rundown of the history and trends of the Western in American television.
In the 1950s and 60s, Westerns ruled the air. There were at least 98 distinct shows during the 50s and 89 in the 60s. In 1959, there were 26 Westerns during primetime alone, and keep in mind that these were the days of three-channel TV. Shows such as The Lone Ranger, Have Gun—Will Travel, and Maverick were huge hits and Gunsmoke and Bonanza premiered and became decade-spanning institutions.
