Mighty Morphin' Plots You Are Surprised They Didn't Have
 

Mighty Morhin' Power Rangers ran for three years, and it seems like every episode dealt with one of the Rangers dealing with a problem, from Zack thinking everyone forgot his birthday to Billy having a fear of fish. What is one plot that you were thinking would happen eventually but never did, or looking back is something you think they could have done an episode around?

One episode idea that I'm surprised they never did in MMPR, but did later on in Turbo, was have an episode where the Pink Ranger was worried about her weight. In the three seasons of MMPR they never used that plot, even though it seems to be one that television writers use sooner or later.

Since Kimberly was a valley girl that was very conscious of appearance, I could have easily imagined an episode where she was worried about her weight and wanted to go on a diet. Maybe she gets on the scale and makes a big deal about a couple of pounds, or during her favorite activity (shopping) she finds something she likes but it's too small. Then Rita would find someway to exploit Kimberly's dilemma like she always does. Not sure which monster would have been a good fit for it, which is maybe why it didn't happen until they had Numbor in Turbo.

While it does surprise me the weight thing wasn't ever brought up during MMPR it actually wouldn't make sense for Trini or Kimberly since they weren't that concern about their appearance. Yes Kimberly was a valley girl early on but she eventually grew out of that.

I'm sure the Monster choice had a lot to do with it as well since during Season 1 it was pretty much all Japanese footage with the Monsters.

I thought I would bump this up.

Off the top of my head I would have liked to see Clotho from Zyuranger or Kujaku from Dairanger as an ally of the Rangers.

And see episodes for all the unused Dairanger, and Kakuranger monsters.

MMPR never did it. But Turbo did it a year few years later. . Kat had issues about her weight in one episode.

I always wanted them to do an episode where Rita's evil spell on Kat resurfaces and Tommy breaks the spell by telling her he loves her. This would have made more sense in Zeo. I kind of got close to the reverse when Kat helped Tommy remember his friends.

I would have liked to see an episode that deals with Tommy and Jason working out their leadership issues after "White Light".

I would have liked to have seen more Trini episodes.

me too she really didn't have many episodes to herself
I mean what do we really know about any of the Mighty Morphin crew's background?

Zordon was in a war with Rita before they both got stuck. We have no other info on them really other than Zordon being from Eltar and all who fight for good should know his name

Alpha 5 came from Edenoi after King Lexian created him but how did Alpha and Zordon meet? Did Zordon know of Lexian and had hired him to create Alpha?

We know Tommy was adopted but we really don't have much info on the other Rangers' background history other than Billy being a brainiac and I guess presumably not having a Mom in the past.

I'd like to have seen an episode with the prom. It would be cool to see everyone get ready for it. Especially Kim and Tommy .

That would have been awesome! Too bad they were way too young to get married or engaged during MMPR. We could use a made for TF movie for that.
