Show placement note

On two different Saturdays before MMPR began its regular weekday slot, Fox Kids aired "Day of the Dumpster" and "Food Fight." The weekday run then placed "Food Fight" in its standard (later) position after "Different Drum."

Big Sisters

…wherein Kimberly and Trini befriend an obnoxious little girl, Rita tries to get the Power Eggs, and the RADBUG debuts

Show placement note

This episode originally aired shortly before "Green with Evil" ("Switching Places" divided them), but all other orderings place it earlier — immediately after (the normal position of) "Food Fight."

Earlier placement: production codes, 1997 "Weird Week" reruns, 2010 reversioning, Netflix order, DVD order

Green with Evil

…wherein the Green Ranger debuts (told in 5 parts)

Show title note

Most TV airings of this five-parter simply subtitle the episodes by their part numbers ("Part" plus a Roman numeral, which begins the standard naming trend for multi-parters in Power Rangers).

In the VHS release, however, each of these five episodes had only a standalone title (i.e. "Out of Control"). The two formats were combined (separated with a colon) in the DVD booklet.

Part I (Out of Control)

…wherein Tommy debuts, Rita turns him into the evil Green Ranger, and he wrecks a bunch of stuff

Life's a Masquerade

…wherein the teens attend a masquerade party, Rita mines Super Putty, and a Frankenstein monster is impaled

Show placement note

By some original reports, this episode was claimed to have originally aired before "Gung Ho!", but this is now contested. The following orderings place it afterward: production codes, original airdates (see here), September 1999 reruns (Fox Kids), March 2006 reruns (ABC Family), May 2007 reruns (Toon Disney), 2010 reversioning.

Show continuity note

In this episode, Rita acquires Super Putty, and Finster looks forward to using it to make an army (which he does in "Gung Ho!").

Also notable is that this episode features the creation and destruction of the Frankenstein monster, who is seen briefly (but not mentioned) in a moon palace scene in "Gung Ho!"

Lost Pilot

Day of the Dumpster

…wherein things are slightly different from the real "Day of the Dumpster"

Show continuity note

This early pilot version of "Day of the Dumpster" was replaced with the final version of "Day of the Dumpster" listed above. This version differed from the main series in the following ways:

• Trini was played by a different actress, and her personality was more ferocious.
• The teens hung out at a bowling alley instead of the Youth Center.
• Bulk was among a different band of punks (and not the leader). Skull wasn't present.
• Zordon, Alpha 5, and the Command Center all looked radically different.
• Different names were used for Zordon ("Zoltar"), Zords ("Droids"), Power Morphers ("Transmorphers"), and Goldar ("Fly Guy").

No events from this version of "Day of the Dumpster" were referenced in the actual series (setting aside a small amount of recycled footage).

Show placement note

This early pilot version of "Day of the Dumpster" wasn't seen on TV until it was featured (in a slightly edited version) in a special which aired during Lost Galaxy. The aired version was later included as a special in the DVD box set.

Show version note

The aired version of this lost pilot was edited in the following ways:

• the song "Higher Ground" was omitted from the bowling alley scene
• fights were edited to omit the most brutal attacks
• the term "Droid" was replaced with "Zord"

Home Video

Fan Club Video

…wherein you're welcomed to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Fan Club, we learn Rita and Zordon's backstory, and the teens are interviewed

Show placement note

This special was only released on home video (and as a special in the DVD box set).

Show continuity note

Certain segments feature the teens being interviewed (in character) at various locales — the Juice Bar included — about their lives as Rangers. In-show, the teens' identities apparently remained secret.

No events from this video have been referenced in the actual series.
