I think the ultimate condemnation of MMPR is how they made it. They just bought the rights to a Japanese show, took the fight scenes, and filmed a load of lame teen comedy to go around them. Is it possible to put less effort into making a TV series?
The Spit Flower: Oh, God, I forgot about the Flower Power monster. Weren't the flowers he shot just coloured paper with dollar-store vampire fangs in the middle?
Life's A Masqerade: This episode's ingrained in my memory due to the rather gruesome death of the Frankenstein monster; I'm surprised they got away with showing him being drilled through the gut on kids' TV like that. And then the Green Ranger making some lame quip about indigestion - what a psychopath.
One thing about the series I always wondered: where Bulk and Skull named in reference to the 80s Welsh cartoon Superted, where the villain had two henchmen named Bulk and Skeleton?
