Re: Why did Zordon replace the Turbos
 

The show already jumped the shark for me. Zordon would never have released the Rangers in MMPR. It made no sense in Turbo. It was bad enough most of the originals were gone.

I think it worked out for the best. Since the new Turbos ended up being great in Space.

I agree about the Mellenium Message being a reason to change Rangers. It ended up working out in PRIS.

Turbo was just a lost cause. The cast change was done at a bad time. And the in show reason made no sense.

JDF wanted to leave at that point in time so they just opted to replace all of the veterans because of which. Some say Catherine wanted to leave but she went on record as saying it was untrue.

Also I don't know how true this is BUT there were rumors circulating that JDF wanted to leave in Zeo but the crew threatened they'd fired the rest of the team if he left so they worked out a compromise.

Actually he did give the Rangers the option to retire in "Doomsday". And he let the original Rangers each leave for personal gain. Only Aishia left for an ultra important reason.

Saban made the decision to go younger and start over . He made the write decision in the long run. As he wrote some of his finest seasons with Space, Galaxy, and Time Force.

Frank and maybe Sutherland wanted to leave, so they decided to start fresh.

I prefer to think Zordon took them back to Eltar for a secret mission.

The writers wanted to add better characters. It was almost worth sitting through Turbo's second half to see the Space Rangers origins.

In story, I suppose Zordon figured he needed better Rangers

Re: Why did Zordon replace the Turbos
 

It is pretty odd how the old Ranger teams were supposee to always be teenagers. But plenty of the later teams have been older.

I think it was Dimitria's idea and Zordon just went a long to not undermine her authority with the Rangers .it was a bad decision to replace the old Rangers. They would have not lost to Divatox and been able to rescue Zordon quickly. The Space Ranges failed to even rescue him.
