Random Nostalgia #4
January 26, 2012 Leave a Comment
One of my greatest regrets is wasting my childhood. While everyone else had a clear goal in life and was studying to be doctors and pop singers and the like, I was cooped up in my room watching Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills.
Long ago in the radical ’90s, some goober had the brilliant idea to rip off Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, but for some reason decided to replace the dinosaur robot with gigantic Valley teens who fight in neon spandex. I can’t quite imagine the thought processes that went into this one. I imagine someone at the board meeting must have said something like, “You know what would make Power Rangers even cooler? Let’s have Richard Simmons’ backup dancers grow 500 feet tall and have them beat the shit out of aliens.” I’d hate to pick on this show for the same reason that it’s mean to make fun of disabled people. What I will point out, though, is that it has a severe lack of Amy Jo Johnson to have naughty fantasies about.
