Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a live-action television series. The first season first aired on Fox Kids on August 28, 1993, and ended on May 23, 1994. Although it was a children's series, it became an iconic part of 1990s pop culture.
On January 2, 2010 a reversion of the season with a new logo, comic book-inspired graphics, and alternative special effects began airing on ABC Kids, but was pulled from the schedule after 32 episodes. The reversion was at one point considered the 18th official season of Power Rangers. However, when Power Rangers Samurai aired, material began referring to Samurai as the 18th.

Synopsis

Long ago, the ancient wizard Zordon did battle with the evil witch Rita Repulsa. After long years of battle, he managed to defeat her using five magical power coins. As punishment for her loss, she was sealed in a canister on the Earth's moon. However, before being sealed away, Rita trapped Zordon in a time warp.
10,000 years later, Rita and her minions escaped their prison and set out to conquer Earth. Zordon, desperate to stop her, had his assistant Alpha 5 recruit five "teenagers with attitude". They were granted the powers of prehistoric animals, and became the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
After several losing battles, Rita captured a newcomer to Angel Grove, Tommy Oliver, cast a spell to control his mind and gave him the powers of her own power coin. As the Green Ranger, Tommy shocked and overwhelmed the Power Rangers, temporarily cutting them off from Zordon and dealing critical damage to their Dinozords. In the end, the Rangers were able to wrest control of Tommy's mind away from Rita, and he joined the team as the sixth Power Ranger.
His first stint with the Rangers would be short lived, however. Rita created a mystical green candle to strip Tommy of his powers and return them to her control. Tommy elected to give what little remained of his powers, including control of the Dragonzord, to Jason in order to keep them away from Rita.
The Rangers continued to battle Rita's increasingly evil schemes and welcomed Tommy back to the fold when Zordon was able to infuse his power coin with his own ancient power.
