Does this dissapoint you?

For nostalgia, I'd love to see filming return to Valencia. But it just isn't realistic. Production is cheaper in NZ. It makes far more sense to shoot there. It also allows them to produce a higher quality show. Since they'd have to cut the budget to shoot in the states. We are getting 40 episodes, so shooting in NZ is important. As long as the writing and acting is good...It doesn't matter where they film. NZ is actually a great place to shoot anyway. It is a good move by Saban Brands to keep production there.
It's Valencia, California by the way but personally I do mind it just for the simple fact that Power Rangers used to be shot in California all the way back to MMPR until the end of Wild Force and it would have made it easier for some people to get to watch them film in some cases.

I do agree that it isn't realistic though since production is cheaper in New Zealand.
