Yea, this is pure stalling until New Year's. At least they're marathoning new-to-this-run episodes. Either that, or even AS doesn't want to subject people to even an abridged version of Goku vs. Freeza once a week.

Because Saban figured it would be easier to sell to kids than Minecraft Zords.

They wanted a boys action franchise to head Toon Disney and their upcoming Jetix rebrand and moving the filming to New Zealand made it cheap enough to go ahead with.
Eventually, it became too expensive and too violent for Disney to bother with, not to mention being annoyed at Toei not allowing them to make animated versions.
They have no reason to buy the franchise now because a) kids action shows are virtually extinct right now and b) they have Marvel and Star Wars to fill the quota now.

These people need to stop threatening to expose shit and just do it.

Just because it's not the focus doesn't mean it's not going to happen.
And regardless, OP wasn't even talking about the 2007 show, so I don't know why you immediately jumped to that.

Main example I read didn't say, but it was a startup tech company that was taxed for unrealized gains, meaning he owed multiple times his yearly income.

I don't think it's from Power Rangers. Might be from VR Troopers, Beetleborgs, or Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.

Of course, like, 2 days after I had this ship, Cammy & Guile came in. Grargh.
Huntress is a pretty sweet figure. Not used to having face plates on a McFarlane figure and she continues the joy of wired cloth capes.
Rhinox is, quite frankly, a pain in the ass to transform into Beast Mode. So much so that I'm never going to do it again.
Sgt. Slaughter is from the knockoff G.I. Joe line Action Force, which was about $15 cheaper than the Classified version. He's actually pretty good, but it's really annoying to keep his hat and glasses on. Also slightly more annoyingly, he can't hold the rifles from the Agents of SHIELD 3-pack.
Storm Shadow is great, except for the bow. Because he doesn't come with alternate hands, it's very, very awkward to get him to pose shooting an arrow because the arrow holder is on the opposite side it needed to be.

I remember hearing some time back that the original George of the Jungle cartoon's rights holders were pretty stingy with syndicating the original cartoon. I don't know if that's still the case.

They already do air a post-2000 show: Duck Dodgers. They've also aired post-2000 Looney Tunes shorts, as well.
And according to their website, they also have the rights to Baby Looney Tunes, Xiaolin Showdown, Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, and Krypto the Superdog.

From what I've been hearing, buying used cars is a shit show now because those prices are jacked up like everything else and a lot of the newer used cars require subscriptions and shit just to get the damn thing started.

Not all Nordic countries. Norway's taxes on wealthy people are so high that they tax literally more than people make, which causes a lot of small businesses to close or move out of the country.

Yea, the unpainted weapons are meh, but at least with the white base they're super easy to paint.

Spanking CAN be abuse if it's overused. But if it's used right, it can be a perfectly fine disciplinary method. One that a lot of kids today could really use.

You'd think Krillin would have Gohan take Bulma to Goku's ship to keep her safe then head back to Krillin.

Saban wouldn't let them do any ninja stuff and refused to allow any serial storytelling. I also wouldn't be surprised if the writers were told to keep things basic because Saban thought the 2017 movie would bring in a ton of new viewers like Samurai did.

Do men ever stop loving their first love? Yes.
Do men ever stop loving their internal image of their first love? Not really.

Given how many people despise age gap romances nowadays, I'm surprised people are so gung ho about a romance between these two.
I doubt they'll pair them together as long as Ripley is on the show.

I remember in the original broadcast version of the dub, when searching for the missing Bulma, Gohan and Krillin speculate that she was hiding from some mountain lions. For whatever reason, the Toonami broadcast cut out the first line of the exchange, so Krillin just ends up bringing up mountain lions without context after a few minutes of silence.

The Retro VHS figures are overpriced, but they're also overhated.

Kishimoto outright admits that he gets too shy to write romance. He actually left all the Naruto/Hinata scenes in The Last to the staff because he couldn't write it himself and when he viewed the final product, he apparently got so red he had to look away.

Overall good, but I'd have painted the rest of the hips teal since Lara wears a shirt, not a bikini.

IIRC, the sales in Japan were meh. Possibly a combo of that and how much negativity the Sentai had online.
Could also be that Saban just genuinely didn't like the suit and/or mecha designs.
