As most people who watch, or were even vaguely exposed to it, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were based on a Japanese show.  What was supposed to be original to the American version, however, were the "secret identity" portions of the heroes.

 

 

 

The American version debuted in 1993.  Three years prior, a startlingly similar band of what you could also call heroes had emerged.

 

 

The Party was a five piece group made up of Mickey Mouse Club cast members.  They soon established themselves as one of the greatest pop groups in history, thanks in large part to the all-time greatest selling single on the Billboard charts - "Summer Vacation".

 

 

Once The Party's formula was established as a complete success, it wouldn't be long before the creators of other forms of media would take notice.  This is what happened with the cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

 

 

The Party's guaranteed formula for success was:

 

  • Italian guy who isn't particularly good looking, but if you were forced to pick the "sex symbol" of the group, it'd probably be him.

  • Brunette girl of above-average attractiveness

  • Dorky white guy

  • Black Guy

  • Asian Girl

 

A few short years later, what formula does the cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debut with?

 

 

  • Italian guy who isn't particularly good looking, but if you were forced to pick the "sex symbol" of the group, it'd probably be him.

  • Brunette girl of above-average attractiveness

  • Dorky white guy

  • Black Guy

  • Asian Girl

 

There can be no denying this incontrovertible evidence - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers got all their ideas from The Party.

 

The world of movies, television, and music may never be the same once this shocking scandal shakes the world to its very core.
