I don't usually cover ABC Kids, but this is interesting. The classic “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” is scheduled to air in the 12:00PM & 12:30 PM ET (11:00 & 11:30 AM CT/PT; 10:00 & 10:30AM MT) time periods effective Saturday, January 2, 2010.

“Power Rangers: RPM” will have its last telecast on Saturday, December 26, 2009.

I had read about this before, but now the classic Power Rangers has a launch date. I like the move.

When I saw this I was looking up the original cast and I didn't hear that he had died.

Richard Genelle died from a heart attack in 2008 at 47. He was known among Ranger fans as "Ernie" the juice bar guy.


Anyway, I'm glad to see the original Rangers back. I wish this would come to DVD; only the original series.
