08/18/08 Power Rangers Jungle Fury got a reference on the Daily Show. The show
focused on the Olympics.. Which takes place in China this year. Host
John Stewart jokingly said he had to summon the Power of the Jaguar or
Ferret and mentioned the Jungle Fury Power Rangers. Aparentlly his son
watches the show. Its always impressive to see a mainstream Power
Rangers reference that doesn't just refer to MMPR. Credit this to

The PRN situation is currently in limbo. The domain owner is hesitant
to bring back the board. He has given me the old website files that he
aquired from PRN Ranger. Which changes my plans considerably. Since I
was orginally just going to remake the site from scratch one of the
old layouts. Not it might make more sense just to finish the content on
the current PRN layout ( which is the next to last layout designed, the
final one ended up being a reboot that never went past an incomplete
SPD site). I'm not currently sure where I precede from here. But I
will keep you all updated on any changes. For now you can view the PRN
website
here.
08/18/08 I wanted to spotlight a Power Rangers forum.
Power Rangers United
is a populated board that deserves some reconition. THe Spandex Report
has been covering it in its weekly updates. The forum was started after
the owners of Power Rangers Universe wanted a reboot.
08/09/08 Toon Disney is being rebranded into Disney XD. This move is
to go with a strategy to target the boys 6-12 demo. Toon Disney is of
course the home of first run Power Rangers episodes. Which carter to
that same demo. The change is gouing to happen in Faburary 09. The Los
Angelos Times first reported this story.
Here is the link to the Toonzone newsbyte on this.
