One problem with the big news
 

Hasbro and Beast Morphers has me excited. But the fact the same writing crew for Dino Charge and Ninja Steel are in charge has me worried a little.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Worth noting, Chip was incredibly bummed that he was not able to do Go-Busters. This seems like it'll be a passion project for him...

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Chip might want to prove that Go-Busters would make a good Power Rangers series, even if he has to film mostly new American footage. ;)

Re: One problem with the big news
 

we actually don't know that just because Chip is back doesn't mean the other writers are back

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I think Chip has been hamstrung by the same mandates that hurt Samurai and Megaforce. Its just he at least tries to be original. I think if left to his own devices the quality of the writing would be much better.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I think people have some misconceptions about Judd Lynn from his time as Story Editor in Space-Time Force. While people think of him as a writer of more mature PR, he actually likes the character building episodes. And believes Power Rangers should still have a lot of the fun elements. He also was against the heavy Sentai adaption of Time Force.

He is still a very good writer. And is capable of better that he has shown since his return! But I don't think we will get a return to the tone of Space-Time Force. But the fart jokes and 5 year old dialogue is most likely not Lynn's call.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I think its time to bring bring back Jonathon Tzachor as Exec Producer and let Judd become the Story Editor again. Power Rangers was at its best when they were a team.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

that's not happening he got fired and Bosses don't give people another chance once they've fired them. Tzachor doomed himself and he's dead to Haim Saban and other people within Saban Brands and Saban Capital Group

Re: One problem with the big news
 

But perhaps not to Hasbro if they gain tremendous power.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

It seems Judd Lynn has lost his fastball. But this new era might just give him a chance to disprove that.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

it doesn't matter what Tzachor is to Hasbro since they're going to see him in the same view that Saban Capital Group does - a lazy Producer who can't be creative so he'd rather just take ideas from Sentai since he can't use his stupid brain yet he has no issues wasting money on scenes that are supposed to be important but because he can't be creative and has his heart set on copying and pasting exactly what Toei did he's just wasting money for the sake of wasting money and no company will be happy with that not even Hasbro.

we don't know that we can't just blame Chip don't forget he may be the Executive Producer but he has Bosses that he has to answer to and if he doesn't do what they want then he'll be where Tzachor is - in the unemployment line.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Wasn't Judd invovled in MMPR too?

Re: One problem with the big news
 

let me see...

according to the credits

he was the Production Manager for MMPR1 and the first 46 episodes of MMPR2.
He wrote MMPR2's (209, 231, 232, 236, 240, 249)
those episodes were Welcome to Venus Island, both parts of Power Transfer, When Is a Ranger Not a Ranger, The Great Bookala Escape and Blue Ranger Gone Bad

doesn't look like he did anything for MMPR3

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I know he started as a production manager and directed some episodes. Perhaps he had a lower lefel position thst wasn't even credited.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

i think the writers are fine. They just have to stop doing split seasons and do 40 episodes a year.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

perhaps but he wasn't credited as a Director for any part of MMPR.

I think Chip is fine as a writer it's the other writers that have issues and split seasons is out of their control that's a Nickelodeon thing I'll show you a few examples with notable shows let's use SpongeBob and Fairly OddParents for notable cartoons (or rather Nicktoons) and let's use The Thundermans and Henry Danger for live action examples.

SpongeBob is in its 11th season.
Season 1 = May 1, 99 - April 8, 2000
Season 2 = Oct. 26, 2000 - July 26, 2003
Season 3 = October 5, 2001 - Oct. 11, 2004
Season 4 = May 6, 2005 - July 24, 2007
Season 5 = Feb. 19, 2007 - July 19, 2009
Season 6 = March 3, 2008 - July 5, 2010
Season 7 = July 19, 2009 - June 11, 2011
Season 8 = March 26, 11 - Dec. 6, 2012
Season 9 = July 21, 2012 - Feb. 20, 2017
Season 10 = Oct. 15, 2016 - Dec. 2, 2017

most seasons feature 20 episodes from the beginning until they get to the 6th season which is when they start ordering 26 episodes the only season that doesn't get 20 or 26 episodes would be the 10th season which only got 11 episodes.

2nd season had a big break on May 5, 2001 and didn't return until September but their episodes are more all over the place.

SpongeBob's schedules ep-by-ep are very confusing so I'm not even going to try and continue to figure this out.

Fairly OddParents has 10 seasons at the moment..

Season 1 = March 30, 2001 - Dec. 12, 2001 (7 eps)
Season 2 = March 1, 2002 - Jan. 10, 2003 (15)
Season 3 = Jan. 20, 2003 - Nov. 21, 2003 (17)
Season 4 = Feb. 16, 2004 - Jan. 17, 2005 (14)
Season 5 = Feb. 14, 2005 - Nov. 25, 2006 (21)
Season 6 = Feb. 18, 2008 - Dec. 12, 2008 (12)
Season 7 = May 1, 2009 - July 11, 2011 (18)
Season 8 = Feb. 12, 2011 - Aug. 5, 2012 (11)
Season 9 = March 23, 2013 - March 28, 2015 (26)
Season 10 = Jan. 15, 2016 - July 26, 2017 (20) (2016 eps on Nick, 2017 eps on Nicktoons)

2nd season didn't start its break til July but came back in September.
3rd season started its break in February and resumed in May
4th season broke in March, resumed in May and then they skipped August before resuming a month later but with just 1 ep then skipping all October before resuming the following month.

I'm sure you get the picture by now but just to show you this.
Let's start with The Thundermans.
Season 1 = Oct. 14, 13 - June 14, 14 (20 eps)
Season 2 = Sept. 13, 14 - March 28, 15 (24)
Season 3 = June 27, 15 - Oct. 10, 16 (25)

2nd season took a break in November 2014 before resuming in late Jan. 2015
3rd season skips August and they take a break in November 2015 before resuming in Feb. 2016. Nick skips March but they resume until they skip September but resumes the following month.

I'm sure you get the picture by now.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Some people think that Hasbro will pay more money than Bandai and the episode count will go up ler year. Its probably just wishful thinking

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I wish Disney was around to help Lynn. Since they did a better job with DinoThunder over Dino Charge.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Judd's still a good writer.The politics behind the show are just a lot different then they were back in his first run.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

that wouldn't be helping since the whole difference between then and now is that Disney just told them what not to allow otherwise they really didn't care and just left them be whereas that's not happening now.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I think we need a bigger writing staff.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

too bad that won't be happening

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I wish Doug Sloan could come back and team up with Judd.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

me too but I think he's with the union and they're not really hiring union writers not to mention he works elsewhere and I don't think it would make much of a difference since again the problem are the Bosses who are doing the meddling and no matter who the writer is they're going to keep on meddling so we'll keep on getting the same stuff

Re: One problem with the big news
 

They need dubbers like they had in Samurai. I don't know why they caved and added writers again.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

Because there not dubbing anything. It was a bad idea to try and go with glorified dubbers.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I just hope we can get some good quality writing going further. I'm not asking for film noir or super intrict storytelling. Just the type of writing we had during the Space Seasons.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I like Doug Sloan for his work on Zeo and VR Troopers. Not as much for Ninja Storm and DinoThunder.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

The truth is there is a lot more that goes into producing PR than just one man. I still believe in Judd . Would you rather have a newbie in charge?

Re: One problem with the big news
 

I don't think the problem is the writers. Its more what they have been allowed to write. We know what Judd is capable of.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

This is what I hope is the case too.

Re: One problem with the big news
 

They should bring back Doug and Ann so they can do more DinoThunder.
