Default Re: Why didn't the Rangers go to college?

I think it actually would be easier for college kids to be Rangers. In real life high school is pretty regulated in terms of where teens can and can't go during school hours. In college you can do whatever you want. Of course if you don't show up you will fail but no one can legally force you to stay on school grounds. Professors also don't usually waste time tracking down absentee students. Since you are expected to be an Adult.

I remember expecting the Turbo Rangers to go to college. I guess they just didn't want to go that root and focused on the Rangers getting jobs. Maybe they took a year off? Although you would think Kat was going to some schooling, since she was a student teacher.

I doubt they planned to go younger in the beginning. Aside from Justin, which was apparently a Shulky Levy idea to try and attract the younger demo. Since the first half of Turbo had Doug Sloan as Story Editor. Levy was also beginning to shift his showrunner duties to Tzachor , who would have full control by the second half. Plus you had the story editor change from Sloan to Judd Lynn for the second half. So things really changed by the time the second half began filming.

Originally JDF and Sutherland we're going to leave the show. Johnny Yong Bosh , Blake Foster and Nakia Burrise were going to stay on with Roger Velasco and Tracy Lynn Cruz joining the team. Carlos and Ashley would have been Red and Black. But by the time the change over happened the decision was made to just go with the new cast save Blake.
