Who wouldn’t want to control a giant transforming robot? And not only do they transform, they combine with other giant robots to become bigger and more badass! No one, that’s why everyone loves the Power Rangers and all their Zords.

So this week I pick my favorite Zords. One catch: No megazords, just individual Zords this week.

This month marks the twentieth anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debut. So every Friday this month, the Friday Five is going to be Power Rangers related in some way, shape, or form. For my first entry on the theme, I’m going to pick my team of favorite rangers.

No, this isn’t a repeat. This isn’t theme songs. It’s theme music. No words allowed this week! Ok, maybe one word allowed.

I didn’t really have the time to do my usual thorough research on this topic like I normally do, so here’s an off the top of my head list of series that when I watch always make me think “Oh wow, this totally came out in the 90’s!

Friday Five – Spin-offs

Many times producers will try to spin off their breakout star into their own series to milk that cash cow a little bit. Many times it doesn’t work, and you end up with The Tortellis, Golden Palace, Three’s A Crowd, Vinnie and Bobby, or Joey (Man, Matt LeBlanc was lucky he got Friends, wasn’t he?). But sometimes, a spin off ends up working out OK, or often times, surpasses it’s originating parent show.

Robots. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. From your dishwasher to the arm of the International Space Station, robots are simply everywhere. And I for one welcome our supreme robot overlords.

Father’s Day is this weekend, so I’m picking my favorite Fictional Fathers. A good father should do anything for their kids, be it put up with their shit, travel through time, or beat another man senseless to get them something they want.

Friday Five – Fictional Jerks

Not everyone is a good person. In fact, a vast majority of people tend to be downright jerks. But often times, watching bad things happen to jerks can be incredibly entertaining. I believe the Germans call it schadenfreude.
