Zeo takes the the best parts of MMPR and improves them, the Story becomes more adult and ages with the kids that started watching with MMPR. That being said it still has that classic Power Rangers cheesyness so it's not for anyone, for me Power Rangers is very much an acquired taste, but this is one of the best seasons of the series.

there are no spoilers here, yippee!
There are several great episodes and fine Arcs to this title. Most notable are the episodes dealing with aquitar, the gold ranger and Tommy's quest; these stand out. However, most episodes are, by comparison anyway, quite forgettable. Things just seem so over-the-top.
For example: there is no way on earth that you can actually take the Machine Empire seriously! They do not develop, they show no emotion and declare victory way too quickly. I was 8 years old and I was bored by them. but this is becoming a rant, back to the show.
I have recently re-visited the original, Zeo, Space and timeforce to the best of my ability.And I must say that while the afore-mentioned episodes are memorable, well-written, acted and all that good stuff, I could not sit through most of the others.
Note: I am not taking sides or pointing out mistakes with this next line; it simply clarifies a point "A season to remember" is sometimes considered the final episode, skip that one. "as good as gold" is otherwise considered the final episode. It is worth watching.

Zeo pretty much abandoned the original show's corny aspects and became something better. They got better special effects, sets and an awesome storyline. The cast was great and it was especially great when (surprisingly) Austin St. John returns as Jason to be the Gold Ranger. This show was one of the more creative ones in the Power Rangers series. Very good.
Power rangers Zeo is a refreshing new beginning to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series which towards the end of its GREAT three year run started to become stale and boring with only minor changes every so often. When the command centre was destroyed at the end of season 3 fans like myself were both shocked and excited. with millions of fans wondering what would come of the power rangers without their powers, the era of Zeo began. With a new ranger and the power of the zeo crystal the power rangers evolved into the power rangers Zeo, with new costumes, new zords, new enemies in the machine empire and new allies. Now I'm not going to say this was an amazing series because it wasn't after all there is never anything like the original but it did give power rangers fans the excitement they once had. The acting in the series in my opinion is surprisingly better than the previous 3 and some of the stories are fantastic!

I think power rangers zeo was right to move on with some new cast members as well giving the old rangers new colours but ruined the look with zeo suits they looked worse then the old ones especially after making a movie with the original suits that looked amazing they could of kept ninjeti ones as back up from the film too it was better when rangers in space came along saved the classic look of the power rangers then all that came after I thought just didn't look good at all. And when bringing back the original red ranger he should of been at least the white ranger in a steel suite would of made it fighting evil robot monsters cooler.

I really wish Billy (David Yost) could have continued on as a Ranger. Although... while he was helping out in the Power Chamber, he did manage to save the other Ranger's tails numerous times. And it made me sick how they wrote him off the show. Other than that, great season!

I liked MMPR. The first two seasons were compelling, but the third season was much weaker when the episodes were lackluster, but not unwatchable. So, when I heard that they continued the show with Zeo rangers, I was virtually impressed after watching it and I officially liked it. Perhaps not as excellent as MMPR, but a great continuation to the series. Some of the episodes were weak, but the first few episodes showed the origins of the Zeo rangers perfectly. Some of the monsters are great, but only, shall I say, four of them got on my nerves with their annoying voices.
Flaws aside, everything else turned out excellent. The characters are as likable as ever especially in their ranger forms along with some great depth from them. Alpha from MMPR is pretty good with his catchy "Ai Ai Ai Ai Yi!" catchphrases which makes him pretty funny in this show too. The morphing sequences are excellent and have improved over the cheesy but tolerable morphing sequences in MMPR, I think. The villains, although not in the same depth as Lord Zedd, are at least decent, but the strongest aspect goes to the megazord fight sequences.
Overall, not as excellent as MMPR, but a great continuation that is always worth-watching for children and die-hard fans of power rangers.

I can't speak for other people when I say this but I consider "Power Rangers Zeo" to be the best out of all the Power Ranger series. First of all the graphics were great (thought that Power Rangers in space graphics were better but thats another story) Also the sounds were better too. The beginning zords weren't as great as "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" but it got around later in the season. Also the series ended with a big movie. "Power Rangers Turbo: The movie" I consider this is the best series because of all these reasons or because it was the first sequel (spinoff) from the original and I was pretty excited about that.
Well its been awhile since I saw this show but from what I remember to me, it was ok...but not as good as the original.
To me, the originals <Jason, Zack, Billy, Kimberly and Trini> were the best...when 3 left, and the show went to Zeo it was ok.
When Jason was brought back I was honestly hoping for the return of Zack and Trini.
But to me Zeo was just not up to par with the original...
As for the future sequels Turbo and Space...I dont watch them...no point really.

Reasonably good (if somewhat overrated) followup to the three seasons of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." Tight pacing, a well-written storyline, and decent acting all help move the story along; but the show is marred by extreme silliness at times and extreme seriousness. Despite all that, "Zeo" is quite entertaining if you don't expect much from it.
Followed by: "Power Rangers Turbo," "Power Rangers in Space," "Power Rangers Lost Galaxy," "Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue," "Power Rangers Time Force," "Power Rangers Wild Force," and "Power Rangers Ninja Storm."

To me, the Zeo Rangers were Power Rangers at their best! I even liked their ranger suits and zords better than all the other Power Rangers. The Zeo Rangers had awesome zords interesting allies and unique robotic villains to battle. The show just wasn't long enough! I really wish this entire series was on DVD boxsets!In the U.S. The Zeo Rangers is the second set of Power Rangers, after the Mighty Morphin Rangers. Energy source for the Zeo Rangers was the zeo crystals. The Zeo Rangers command center was constructed (buried) under the Mighty Morphin Rangers command center. Villains of the Zeo Rangers were King Mundo with his family ( evil alien robots ) and palace along with their robot soldiers called Cogs. Allies were Auric the Conquer (automatic battle zord) and Trey (triplet morphing alien) the gold ranger who controlled a ship and zord, Pyramidas ...and provided the Zeo Rangers with the gold Zeo Power Coins which provided each ranger with their on super zeo zord to help them when things got rough. The rangers Super Zeo Zords combined to form the Super Zeo Megazord!

Being with Power Rangers Zeo Saban joins Japanese counterpart Toei in tradition of changing the Power Rangers every year. Zeo more/less follow its counter part 'Super Task Force' regarding the shows villains The 'Machine Empire' and plot to have machines take over Earth. However it still does not quite follow the show and still is in a MMPR mode. However adapting to the Senati tradition beginning with Zeo is a great start. A few bumps in the road but Power Rangers is getting their.

I was once a Power Rangers fanatic. I had all the toys and videos and went to see the movie 3 times. I watched from the beginning religiously. The show peaked at the end of season 1 and very slowly began to roll down the mountain after that. When Jason, Zach and Trini left the show it began to roll even faster. Rocky and Adam were not as good as the original Rangers, and Aisha was awful, but they sort of grew on me after a while, though I never liked them as much as the originals. When the Rangers got their "Ninja" powers the show was still OK, but definitely not as good or as interesting as it once was. Then all hell broke lose when the "Zeo" series first aired. I stopped watching after the first few episodes because I realized "This is boring." I didn't like the new uniforms, I didn't like the new villains and most of all, I downright hated the cast changes. That Australian Pink Ranger was downright horrible and couldn't hold a candle to Amy Jo Johnson. The new Yellow Ranger was awful also. Looking back, I'm glad to say I stopped watching at this point because, from what I hear, the show I once loved, drowned in the river after "Zeo."
I liked the way the series was set up. I mean they got more serious and stopped doing some impossible things and made it more understandable.
After the Rangers lose the Powers of Ninja and the command center they gather the remains of the Zeo Crystals. So when the Command center is reformed into the Power Chamber and then Zordon returns. Making everything normal Again.
But a new villain has come. The Machine Empire. They try to do what Rita and Zedd could not. Destroy the Power Rangers.
The Rangers then use the Powers of the Zeo Crystals and become Power Rangers again
Tommy the Red Ranger. Adam the Green Ranger,Rocky the Blue Ranger.Catherine the Pink Ranger and Tonya the Yellow Ranger.
I say the series has got to be more high tec. Its too bad that when the series ended and then they kept on bringing us stupid series like Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers in Space.
Thats when I stopped watching it. After Zeo.
Anyways good series. The best of them all

Power Rangers Zeo is the follow-up to the original show, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. And Zeo was a good show that was entertaining but is NO WHERE near the excellence of the original. The reason why the original show was so good was because #1 We know the concept for the Power Rangers is silly and the show was light-hearted so the plots and action scenes worked cause it seemed kind of comical. #2 The cast was excellent.
Now Zeo is a serious program so that kind of hurts the show cause it makes it seem stupid. And the cast of Zeo is not that good. But the show itself is pretty entertaining and some of the episodes were AWESOME but it's no where near the excellence of the original show.
A little Side Note:
Jason, the original Red Ranger returning as the Gold Ranger was awesome:)and provided for some good episodes.

During the course of this series, Power Rangers began to mature. The stories began to get better and eventually we got the excellence of Power Rangers in Space. The Machine Empire were an interesting villain. The battles could have been longer. But this show was great!
Now I haven't seen to many episodes but I noticed from the episodes that I watched that show really got more realistic than MMPR. MMPR was great, loved it, but it did get corny at times. Zeo has fewer corny scenes and great drama and even some angst (King for a Day). They eventually grew and we got Power Rangers in Space, one of the greatest series and the saddest finale.
But for people who say that the cast sucked, I just wanted to point out, NO ONE LEFT(except Aisha)!! So it was almost the same cast from the series before.
Anyways great stuff here! **** of *****

Proving that once just isn't enough, the Power Rangers return in their second television series. The success of the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" was enough to ensure that the saga would continue for quite some time. While this new series may not be up to the same level as the original, it is still a must-see for children and fans alike. KEEP ON MORPHIN!
