The 21 Best Episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Some geek sites also did a list. Why not let the professor take a shot at it too?
2013 was a year of a Mighty Morphin rehash with Megaforce and dinosaurs with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. It's only fitting.

  1. Changing of the Zords II: All is lost for Kimberly and Lord Zedd even shows up in the Command Center.
  2. A Different Shade of Pink I: Kimberly passes out. Katherine is saved. Could have used more monster suits in an episode that requires the Rangers to pass out from exhaustion.
  3. Changing of the Zords I: Established Zedd and Katherine as great threats the show has never faced before.
  4. Changing of the Zords III: Tommy and Lord Zedd fight! The Rangers outsmart Lord Zedd.
  5. A Friend in Need I: Really showed Count Dregon as a force to be reckoned with. Ties in to Power Rangers in Space noted.
  6. II
  7. III
  8. A Different Drum: Great realistic episode in a show with a lot of camp.
  9. The Green Dream: The Green Candle done right with original footage. Jason vs RoboGoat fight scene was awesome. Fight!
  10. Return of an Old Friend: Part 1 Did not see that coming when I was young despite its title.
  11. Mirror of Regret: Crystal of Nightmares done by Adam Park without a racist Zack Taylor Bruce Lee hyah.
  12. Crystal of Nightmares: Show the gang's acting chops while doing very little adapting, producing a great original episode. Take lessons Power Rangers Samurai and Megaforce!
  13. On Fins and Needles: Shows jealousy in a camp way that separates it for kids instead of adults.
  14. Return of an Old Friend: Part II: Welcome back Jason David Frank.
  15. A Different Shade of Pink II: Would have been better if Katherine was bad and actually tricked them. It seemed to rehash Changing of the Zords II- a slight complaint.
  16. The Power Stealer: Good Green Dream episode
  17. The Beetle Invasion: Good Green Dream build up episode
  18. Plague of the Mantis: Praying Mantis Kung Fu.
  19. Something Fishy: I love Billy phobia episodes. Shows human side to the super machoness of the show.
  20. Reign of the Jellyfish: Time Capsule was trending in the 90s. Awesome original monster.
  21. Mighty Morphin Mutants

  1. The best part about "The Green Dream" was treacherous Tommy sadistically swinging the sword at the rangers, even Kim. And how neither Zordon or Alpha even reacted! Lol
