That's All Folks THE ONLINE WELCOME MAT Welcome to new member, Katrianna and PRPink (Annie). ASK MAX Q: Max, when is the season going to premiere? --Mousy99 A: I'm pretty sure September 4th! --Mm__) Q: How did Haly know what the Rangers looked like? Did she see them with their helmets off or could she see them when she was in Zedd's fog? --Mousy99 A: Nope. She was making it all up and coincidentally, it matched the Rangers descriptions. She had a wild imagination...remember the Prince thing? --Mm__) GUIDE TO THE EPISODES A lot of great episodes get overlooked. So, using my episode guide, I'm going to name one episode and I want everyone to tell what they thought of the episode. What they liked, didn't like, a better title, any mistakes...just what this episode meant to them! A lot of great episodes get overlooked and now it's time for them to get fame! Today's episode is: #23- ITSY BITSY SPIDER Written by Steve Kramer Directed by Robert Hughes The kids lead a drive to save a statue. But, the statue becomes a part of Rita's latest scheme. Will the Power Rangers save the statue and the world? So, what do you guys think of it? Can't wait to hear from you. Need any help: ask me. BTW, the Spidertron is the monster on this one, if anyone doesn't remember it from the summary. YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT Last week's Quote 1 was "Aw man--I forgot the belts." This, of course, was Tommy in "The Yolk's On You!" Tommy and Jason had entered a talent contest together and Tommy, forgetful as he is (Yet, Mighty Morphin Mutants hadn't aired yet) forgot the karate belts he was supposed to bring. When he goes back to get them, the putties have him 'tied up'--literally! Hoshiko466 got it right first, [sbolton], c.mikoluff@genie.geis.com and STHJ. The second quote was "I don't know what I'm doing!" I have rewritten the script to this episode and when you type it goes in your brain...so I have this whole episode memorized! It was Kimberly from "Foul Play in the Sky" [the best episode!] Kim had gotten contact with Alpha who said, "Aiyiyiyiyi...where are you?" Zordon: The scanner is showing Kimberly at an altitude of 2000? feet and dropping. Keep trying to locate her. KIMBERLY: Oh, Alpha--I'm flying a plane. I mean, I'm trying. I mean-- (looks out the window to see clouds and stuff)--I don't know what I'm doing! Herndons got it right first, and then sbolton. Today's quotes are: QUOTE 1- "I heard the Pink and Yellow Rangers are the coolest!" QUOTE 2- "Don't you recognize us? We're your...." [Think, guys. One more word would be too easy!] TRIVIAL PURSUIT Last week's trivia question was "Who was the first person to say morphinomenal. About what?" The answer: Kim from "High Five"--the second episode. Billy showed her the wrist communicators and she goes, "Morphinomenal!" I don't think it got popular until she did it again on "Switching Places". Her face looks like she's about to spit out tobaco as she suddenly says "Mwor-phin-awm-eee-nal!" Sbolton got this right first, then c.mikoluff@genie.geis.com. Today's trivia question is "What was the name of the talk show host who interviewed the Power Rangers?" EXTRA CREDIT: "What was the Power Rangers "message" to everyone. [Guys, I don't remember this one but oh well...] SCOREBOARD c.mikoluff@genie.geis.com: 3 points Herndons: 3 points Hoshiko466: 2 points sbolton@nbnet.nb.ca: 3 points STHJ@MARISTB.MARIST.EDU: 1 point FUN AND GAMES Kay, guys. There will be a game here every day. Answer it just for fun (Hence the name: fun and games). Here's today's:: If each Ranger got a gift certificate, where would they spend it? Mix and match. You can use the same store twice (No more than twice) and you must use all of the stores. Two of the answers are jokes so they don't necessarily have to be where that Ranger would go shopping... Jason B. DALTONS Kimberly COPELANDS Trini PETSTOP Zack BLOOMINGDALES Billy KARATE KUTS Tommy SAM GOODYS/MUSICLAND Aisha TOYS R US Adam Rocky DID YOU KNOW? There are MMPR cookies by a company called Frookie. Meiche@teleport.com kept the tin they came in [the cookies tasted terrible] anyway I'm not quite sure why I said that, it occurred to me that eventually they'll stop making these and I'll have a collector's item. MAX: A collectors items? For cookies? Yeah right. Whose gonna pay money? I can't find them though. So, I'll pay you $50 for the tin! Please.... ;-) Aaron also wants to say that the morpher toy [comes with power sword a.k.a. bladeblaster] is used upside down on the show. Next time you watch look at the way the handle is, it's at the bottom. Also....Primator was first called Kongador... THE SWIMMING POLL Here is an update on the polls... POLL 1- FAVE RANGER [From greatest # of points to lowest # of points.] Who is your favorite Ranger? 1. PINK RANGER - 12 points 2. WHITE RANGER- 6 points 3. BLUE RANGER and RED RANGER- 5 points 4.

POLL 3- NOBODY'S PERFICT! If you're a new member, you've missed a lot of dumb mistakes. Because of old footage, MMPR goofs a lot on the script and stuff. Anything you noticed? Here's one I noticed: On "Dark Warrior", Billy is supposed to dislocate a bomb that Howard is hooked up to. The camera gets a closeup on the ticking bomb [:19, :18, :17, :16]. Then, it showed Billy again, talking to Howard. Next, it got another closeup on the ticking bomb [:19, :18...] If it had just ticked down to 16 seconds, how did it get back to 19? And, why did he save him at 4 seconds. It would be cooler if it were .5 seconds. Wouldn't that be cool??? Justin--what was your mistake? I don't know where I put it! POLL 4- WHO IS Marx Okman? Whenever you read a message from marxokman@aol.com, what picture goes through your mind? What do you think I look like? BTW, ag216 sent me her picture and it's really good!

Here's previous clues: I'm a boy. I have hazel eyes. Brown hair Dark skin A surfer cut. Today's clue: I always wear a white shirt, black shorts, a black watch, black and white shoes, white socks, and usually a black hat but that would be like cheating if you put it on! This poll will end after more people sends their pic of me! Justin did his pic on Paintbrush. POLL 5- CREATE A CREATURE It's your time to outdo Zedd. Give me a monster and a description of it. I'm still working on mine (Justin--how about the Moneyspender or Repizard? ;-) B A C L's plague, Clayoozer, The Time Being, The Study Putty, Megazoid, Wastem, Wastit, Hoover Head, Gold Ranger, Matrix and... "I think it would be cool if Kimberly became the monster. MEGAMALLRAT. Ha! Kimberly, a giant rat! Ha ha! (ahem.) --Lunette339 Mm says: You know, I thought Genie was a rat. He's on the classic SNES video game; level 4 but he's a dog! He's on "Switching Places" and he's not a rat! Really! And, btw, on the game, he fights the Ranger --always Kim for me-- in the mall! That's what I call a MEGAMALLRAT! (Don't you guys think Kim was the best on the first SNES game and Rocky was the best on the "Movie" one?)

'cause there is some stuff that you don't know about that's really morphinomenal! I have a lot to say but this is all that I'm going to mention today... I know a lot of people from Saban Entertainment and Saban Studios and I have asked every single one of them (I think) if there is a tour that takes place in Saban Studios that people like you and me can go on. They all answered..."Yes. Occasionally... Call this number for more details..." Well, you don't have to call that number. Just ask me! Everytime I call, the person hangs up on me because they're mean. ;-) Oh well...I'll find out. When I do, if any of you want and can go, tell me...I'll try and get you tickets, reservations, etc. But, unless you live close to Valencia, CA then you might have to think about the money situation. But, if you're coming down or something, I'd love for you to come with me! The more, the better...if you seriously want to go, e-mail me for more info. And, who knows--we might be in Saban Studios before you can say "Morphinomenal!" DAVE'S AMAZING JOKE COLUMN This needs a better title. Dave, what do you think? Anyway...here's Dave's column. I asked him 'what would each character say if you asked them "Why did the chicken cross the road?" and this is what he told me': Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? KIMBERLY: Cuz, like, they put the McDonald's across the street from the mall. ADAM: [deadpan] Because his mahstah commanded him to... MR. CAPLAN: To get to... [wind from nowhere blows his toupee off] AAH! RITA: TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE, YOU DONKEY-FACED OATMEAL BRAIN!!!! [sound of glass breaking] PUTTY 1: Burble burble burble! [Translation: Because on that side of the road he got the tar beat out of him on a daily basis without so much as a 1 week vacation!] BILLY: To vacate to the dissimilar orientation of the thoroughfare. MS. APPLEBY: Because, students, that is what chickens do. SKULL: 'Cause there was a hen on the other side. Hahahaha! [Bulk whacks Skull] BULK: No, stupid. To... [various white creamy products (get your mind out of the gutter!) fall on Bulk and Skull for no apparent reason] ERNIE: Someone slipped something in his shake. [evil grin] TOMMY: Um, ah, aw man. Wait, I know this one...um... AISHA: Uh, what Kim said. TOMMY: Okay, uh... [long pause] Huh. ZEDD: TO DESTROY ALL WHO OPPOSED HIM ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD! HAHAHA! TOMMY: Um... oh, I know! To keep his white uniform clean! There you go... I couldn't seem to think of one for Jason or Trini. Must be their complete lack of personality. :) How about this, Dave? JASON/TRINI: He wanted to get to a peace conference! Man, we could have told him how to get there without walking! THE GRAND PRIZE Here is where we talk about the contests. This is not like the quote/trivia thing. It's more like the "Who Is Max Mouse" thing? Today's contest: This newsletter is missing one thing: it has a season premiere, changes for the new season, a season premiere, a cast, a writer, etc. But, it doesn't have what I think is the most important part (Besides the title which will be next)...it doesn't have a theme song! So, if you're good at songwriting [I got my money on Ron ;-)], think up a MMPR theme song. I'll post one in every issue and then we can vote on our fave. So, get your computer warmed up...you've got some writing to do! SIMMERTIME! AOL people, here's the info. on the sim--all that I think you'll need! We will meet in room "Power Rangers". To get there, go to People Connection, go to List Rooms; go to Public Room or Available Room; go to Create Room; type in "Power Rangers". You should be there from about 5:20-30PT/8:20-30ET on Sunday, the 12th! I would like everyone to be there at least 5 minutes before 5:30PT/8:30ET so that we can meet. Then, at 5:30/8:30, we'll go to Private Room: MMPRSim. You get there by going to PC, List Rooms, Private Room, typing in "MMPRSim". You do not have to tell me that you're coming but it wouldn't hurt! If you haven't reported to me, keep in mind who you want to be and have other choices, just in case. WE NEED MORE RANGERS!!! Anyway, hope to see you there! The sim lasts about 1 hour. Internet people--what can you do? Are there chat rooms for Internet people? I don't want you guys left out! QUIZ SHOW So, what do you guys think of the MMPR gameshow idea? I already have a lot of contestants but if you really want to be one (And, if you have AOL) I can see what I can do. I also need a load of people to help me think up ideas for the show. Like, games and stuff--anyone want to be behind the scenes with me? And, I'll take a "Vanna White" too. ;-) Assistant, in other words.

NICE TO MEET YOU SCREEN NAME: Hoshiko466 (it means star child in Japanese) REAL NAME: April Michelle Richards BIRTHDATE: 1-7-76 (One day after Johnny Yong Bosch was born) CURRENT RESIDENCE: Greensburg, Pennsylvania FAVE EPISODE(S): "Return of the Green Ranger" "White Light Saga" (I have the studio tape for it), Oh any episode that deals with Tommy since he's my fave and he's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAVE QUOTE(S): "I must have forgotten all of the times I was forgetful" (MIGHTY MORPHIN MUTANTS, Tommy Oliver. He looked so cute in that scene:) Wow! You guys, I think Hoshiko is on our side now [see Intro.]! ;-) Next time, we'll hear from MooTant, Mousy99, Lunette399, and then c.mikoluff@genie.geis.com MYTHS AND LEGENDS SilverRngr sent me this: Here are the legends from Celtic Myth that are associated with the Movie Zords. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did compiling it. :) - Have fun! Celtic - Gaelic Myths of Movie Ranger Animals. Falcon: (Gaelic: Seabhac, pronounced: She-vug.) (Hawk - both fall in the genus of Falconformae): The closest to a white hawk in the wild is a Gyrefalcon, they live primarily in the northern reaches like Newfoundland abouts. To the Gaels' the Hawk was nobility; chieftains often had cloaks of hawk feathers. He is keen in attention and detail, he has the ability to bring any situation into perspective. Only noblemen were allowed to hunt with Falcons. Gawain is referred to as the May Hawk and Galahad (Lancelot?) is called the Hawk of Summer. These knights, associated with seeking the grail, also identify the hawk as healing (or cleansing), dawn, and what a new day will bring. Irish Myths marks the hawk as one of the oldest animals in the world. He is a powerful and potentially dangerous bird. Crane: (Gaelic: Corr, pronounced: Corr.) One of many animals attributed to have knowledge of 'other worlds' She is known for long life, and patience with perseverance. This includes the ability for focus. Grace and solitude are her allies, yet she is also dependable as a comrade. Bear: (Gaelic: Art, pronounced: Arsht.) She is an ancient power, revered as far back as 70,000 years ago. Andarta was the Goddess embodiment of Bear. King Arthur's name is derived from Art, the Bear, also meaning stone and God. She is a fierce fighter against all danger and when she uses her intuition, it is unerring. Frog: (Gaelic: Losgann, pronounced: Loss-can) Frogs also appear in Gael's stories as having sensitivity (Fitting considering the 'I'm a frog' reaction :>), hidden beauty, (This Dulcea does mention) power, and healing ability. He's portrayed as a happy cheery animal, with the frog's hopping (dancing) and churring (singing). He accepts circumstances for what they are, they aren't always what they seem! Wolf: (Gaelic: Faol, pronounced: Foil) He is learned, faithful, intuitive and possesses a great strength from within. For the sake of his learning he is willing to cross conventional barriers taking risks to add to his knowledge, even if the boundaries are unpleasant or painful. He doesn't fear being alone, nor does he shy from the strength and power he gains in solitude. He is courageous and a deep spiritual companion. He is neither afraid of nor rejects what he does not yet know or understand. Sorry, but Apes didn't hang out in Oak groves a-way back when. :) BUT Red Dragon, if translated as Fire Dragon (Draig-Teine, pronounced: draig-tenu): He holds leadership, and mastery over all he surveys. He has the ability to direct energies with pinpoint accuracy to accomplish anything. There is more but the stories involved are rather complicated. Anyone who wants the miles of bibliography for this information I'll be glad to post that too! :) THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW... -Trini's stunt double used to be a guy -Power: vigour, strength, -Over 3000 people tried out as Power Rangers last year -Billy is in the Debate Team, Science Club, Math Club, Chess Club, and William F. Buckley Vocabulary society -In Dairanger, the Green Ranger died and it's remaining powers absorbed by the Red Ranger... kinda similar... but not quite. That was sent to me by Ellen. There are six more of these things. Send me the things that we never knew ASAP! ;-) MISSING: MMPR EPISODE On August 18-20, 1994--I missed Power Rangers. I knew that it was an episode I hadn't seen but I was in New York and I kept missing the episodes--I was on a plane or in a landmark. I spent the whole week asking little kids if they remembered which episode of MMPR was on. They all claimed to see it but couldn't remember. I wish I had a friend who never missed MMPR...who would smile and say "That episode was..." Well, sad enough, I never found someone but doing research I found out the three episodes I missed were "The Green Candle Part I, The Green Candle Part II, and The Yolk's On You!" (I didn't know it came on Saturdays back then, actually!) At the time, I didn't record the episodes, I wrote down the title and "took notes." That spot is still blank. Anyway, my point is, if you have to miss an episode (Like you're on a plane) or you accidentally do (On Easter vacation, I forgot what day of the week it was and forgot what I did at 4:30) or if your TV blacks out (Like mine did on Wednesday), then check here! I'll always have the info. on Friday so if you missed an episode, just wait until then! And, yes--the episodes are the same all over the world! Anyway, here's last weeks: Saturday: "The Wanna-Be Ranger" Monday: "Bloom of Doom" Tuesday: "The Power Stealer" Wednesday: "The Beetle Invasion" Thursday: "Welcome To Venus Island" Friday: "The Green Dream" CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? This is an exclusive interview with Shuki Levy (The executive-producer of MMPR), which means these are questions I asked and questions he answered!!! I don't have enough room to list all the MMPR episodes that he has written (There are 25) and directed (13) from the first two seasons but you guys all know who he is (His name flashes during the freeze frame) Not only is he talented, he's also really nice! Guys... no wonder MMPR is so good! They've got a great crew! Here we go... 1. What is your favorite MMPR episode that you wrote? My favorite episodes are the Return of an old friend which we shot in Australia. 2. Any episodes for MMPR you wrote that have never been used? No. All the episodes aired. 3. Which episode was hardest to direct? All those which we have to shoot at 115' heat!! 4. Which cast member is easiest to work with? All cast members are nice to work with. Those who aren't are no longer on the show. 5. Which cast member is hardest to work with? Look at 4! 6. Which episode of MMPR do you enjoy watching the best? I honestly enjoy watching every episode. 7. How did you film "Foul Play in the Sky." Did AJ actually fly a plane? It sure looks like it! We had a lot of fun shooting this episode. A.J didn't fly the plane but was driving it on the runway. 8. What is Ron Wasserman (Mighty Raw) like to work with? Ron Wasserman is one VERY talented guy and a pleasure to work with. 9. Is there a place where people can purchase your scripts? Sorry, these scripts aren't for sale. 10. I heard that you have an album or albums out. Tell me more about that or those please. I don't know which albums you're asking about. There are few Power Rangers albums out there. 11. Where can we find this album/these albums? Every record store. 12. What do you think of the "violence on MMPR" issue? I grew up watching Cowboys killing Indians on TV. That didn't make me an aggressive person. The action on P.R is light, silly, fun and never against other humans. 13. What is your favorite scene from the movie? My favorite scene is when Adam discovers he's a frog! 14. Do you have any relatives that work or did work on television in some way. I see a lot of Levys. The Levy's which you see on the screen aren't related to me. 15. Who is your favorite Ranger? My favorite Power Ranger is coming next season!!! 16. Who is your favorite "bad guy"? My favorite bad guy is Rito. 17. Any thing you can tell us about the 3rd season? When's it premiering? Is it going to premiere on primetime? Is the movie going to affect the season, is it going to recap the movie? Did you write the season premiere episode? Can you tell us about this Australian girl who will play the Pink Ranger later on? What should we expect? Answer all that you can please. The next season will start in September. Yes, I did write the first couple of episodes. There'll be some elements which will cross over from the movie to the show. The Australian girl, Catherine, is an excellent actress, very cute and very talented. I've auditioned over 700 girls!! 18. Who do you think of as your idol(s) and inspiration(s)? God! 19. Most of your best episodes are written with Shell Danielson. What's he like? Shell Danielson isn't a HE! She's a very nice person and very, very talented. She is also a great actress and was on General Hospital (Soap) for three years. 20. What other TV shows have you worked on? I've worked on many projects. Right now I devote my time to Power Rangers, V.R. Troopers and soon to start on Fox - "Masked Rider"! 21. What is Haim like? Haim Saban is my best friend and the most talented person I've ever met. 22. Tell me more about winning Best Composer at the Yamaha International Song Festival. How did you know about this music award?? Too far into the past to talk about! 23. Tell me more about the musical opera based on the story of Masada that you are completing. Again...How do you know about Masada??? This is the project of my life and I've been putting it together for a long time. To close this I'd like everyone out there to know that the near future of Power Rangers is going to be incredible. Too many changes and surprises to mention here. Stay tuned!! Shuki Levy Boy, did I mess up on Question 19!!! And, on his first answer I think he meant "Return of the Green Ranger". Anyway, isn't that cool??? I get to talk to Ron Wasserman AND Shuki Levy in one month! Now THAT is morphinomenal! So, did you guys learn anything? Katherine...doesn't sound that bad! Sounds pretty cool! I can't wait until the 3rd season starts!!! THAT'S ALL FOLKS! NEXT TIME ON POWER RANGERS... Wayne and Joseph fight over a spotlight as MooTant decides that he should appear in MMPRNL land and tell everyone a little about himself. But, as this goes on, Ellen decides that, in order to save the Rangers, she must give HER review on the show. Meanwhile, the evil Carnage appears in the swimming poll. But, can the Rangers find the answer to the game before the "real" Rangers rob a toy store? And, will Max find the newest TV Guide in time to quote it? Find out next on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Newsletter! P.S.A. When you guys pretend to be Power Rangers, it's bad! We care about you, we love you, we would never...(communicator beeps)...oh, gotta go....buh- bye! [BTW, did you notice the 23s? 23 Shuki Levy questions, 23 articles, 23rd MMPR episode in Guide To The Episodes, etc.] "Ninjetti............................................THE NO-SE-UM! Mm__)
