Wow. Double-asterisk horrible? That's really bad. ;-) And Magiranger sounded interesting. (Then again, so did Wild Force...)

I think you'll like Mystic Force. It sorta goes back to PR roots: five high-school-age kids are selected to deal with bad folks. Basically, there's a forest that no one's supposed to go into, but an old guy's brother gets taken so they go in, get attacked by neo-Putties, get bailed out by the sorceress Udonna, who turns out to have been the old guy (she was magically disguised and testing them.)

Udonnna is Magimother, who isn't their mother in PR, but had something to do with the last round with the baddies. Once upon a time, they'd invaded the magical world before and were going to go after the human world next when either all the Rangers or just the Red Ranger sacrificed themselves/himself to seal the villains away. Now the gate that kept them sealed in the underworld is broken, and only she, the White Ranger, remains... but she does have the others' wands. Somehow she knew that the teens were to be the next Mystic Rangers, but they're not buying it and walk out on her (sound familiar?) and so don't have their wands when Koragg (purple armor guy) shows. Udonna takes him on alone and winds up losing her wand. (She doesn't die, she's just knocked out of Ranger form. But Koragg takes her wand so she can't morph anymore.) She sticks around as Zordon-ish mentor type. Oh, and she and Koragg found each other very familiar, though neither could tell just why.

Anyway, the new team is:

Red- Nick: Newcomer to the city, passed from relative to relative and doesn't really know where he came from. Koragg taunts him about this while messing with his head in one ep, which makes you wonder just how Koragg knows. Nick was also once able to use Koragg's horse-thing, which really got Koragg's attention.

Blue- Madison: Hobby is videotaping everyone. Because of an in-character website performance thingy where you could ask her things (I never visited it personally 'cause I didn't want to see the suits until they were used in the show.) she's the most popular with the fans from even before the show began. Though now, writing this, I realize we don't actually know a lot about her past the fact that she likes to videotape her friends goofing off.

Green- Xander: Australian, mate. Always tries to reason before fighting (I think that's a poke at the soccer moms who complain about the show being too violent and that they don't always try to avoid fighting. Xander trying to talk things over with bad guys and then everyone getting their butts kicked is a running gag.)

Pink- Vida: Tough girl who hates pink. Madison's sister. Most of MagiPink's silly transforming things were turned into fairy wing-related attacks, making her much cuter than the image she wants to project, too. She's always dancing to something or other.

Yellow- Chip: Fanboy extraordinare. Pretty much a caricature of Ethan from PRDT, if you ask me, and as such, my least favorite. I liked Ethan a lot, but Ethan was believable. Chip's taken overboard, and almost all his lines are for the purpose of saying "Remember, I'm the weird one" and add little that's constructive to the scene. The only time he's been worth watching is when he and Vida were sneaking around trying to unlock more spell codes. Oh, and when, at the music store they all work at, he accosted the others with a pricetag gun...
