What sets MMPR apart for me is that it nailed the formula. The villain would spy on the Rangers and would often use the Ranger's personal problems as a basis for their evil scheme. It meant that the villains and Rangers felt fully involved in the story, as the battle was personal for both groups (which was quite an achievement as the Rangers rarely got to interact with the villains). The show was less about dinos or any other theme, and more about the trails of growing up which made it easier to relate to.

Later seasons dropped this mechanic. That's not to say MMPR is perfect, because it had lots of problems. I am also glad other seasons experimented with different story structures, as the MMPR formula did get repetitive after a while. But it is a shame that other seasons have (often unintentionally) rejected the MMPR formula, as there's a lot that could be done with.
