Having run for over 30 years now, Franchise/PowerRangers isn't going to be perfect every season. And some Seasons have it much more than others.
----
* The fans near-universally hated ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' (Season 5), due to it being a serious story at odds with the tongue-in-cheek ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' footage, plus seeing Justin as TheScrappy. People have mellowed out a little in regards to ''Turbo'' both due to it improving midway through as well as the fact that, despite its flaws, it did lead directly into ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'', one of the most popular seasons of the series. Time was also kind to Justin, as fans [[VindicatedByHistory reevaluated]] him later and now consider him a pretty decent character that just looked bad on paper.[[note]]And there was a precedent for {{Kid Hero}}es in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'', a fan-favorite season, had Kou, a boy whose transformed form was an adult, as a SixthRanger.[[/note]]
*''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' (Season 8) isn't so much a rot as "stuck between 2 gems". It was the first truly stand alone season compared with its predecessor Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy being a PostScriptSeason to what came before. And while the writers took things in a different direction thanks to making these the first public figure rangers, there were clear growing pains for the process, as the villains, rangers and storylines weren't particularly well remembered overall. Still, it's not necessarily considered a BAD season, but nonetheless a dip in quality compared to what came before, and what came [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce immediately after.]]
* ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' (Season 10) had its share of dislike too, for subpar acting, an {{Anvilicious}} GreenAesop, and too much gratuitous focus on the mecha over the plot, which is also derided for being a near-carbon copy of its source material, ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger''. Like with ''Turbo'', the fandom's mellowed out and its reputation isn't as bad as it used to be. Mostly because it has two of the ''best'' team-up stories in the franchise that have yet to be topped in terms of overall quality.
* Nowadays ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' (Season 15) seems to most occupy the designation of "worst season ever" among the fanbase. It had plot holes, an overreliance on StuffBlowingUp (even by this show's standards), and "heroes" that [[DesignatedHero weren't nearly as heroic as most Rangers]]. While not quite as vindicated as the aforementioned seasons, opinions have loosened up a bit compared to later PR series that followed. With it being agreed that, compared to Megaforce, ''Operation Overdrive'' is at least ''consistent'' in its story that makes it easy to follow and had some legitimate twists.
* ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' and ''Super Samurai'' suffered from similar problems to ''Wild Force'', namely the low quality of the acting and plots that almost always followed those from ''[[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Shinkenger]]'' to the letter. This in part was due to the rush in translating after getting {{Uncancelled}}, and in part due to the showrunner not wanting to shake up what was already there.
* ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Power Rangers Super Megaforce]]'' (Season 20[[SequelNumberSnarl -ish]] -- [[StarTrekMovieCurse sensing a pattern yet?]]) also got this. To wit: haing to adapt two separate Sentai (''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'' and ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''), plot points that don't seem to have any impact or made little sense, the rangers gaining new weapons and zords only to discard them, bland villains and a very anti-climatic finale which was supposed to be a [[MilestoneCelebration celebration of everything Power Rangers up to that point]].
* ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Power Rangers Dino Super Charge]]'' has fallen into this due to its overuse of fillers and the [[BrokenBase polarising]] finale. Which is a pity, considering how solid ''Dino Charge'' was.
* ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' and ''Super Ninja Steel'', which are the 24th and 25th season respectively are often derided for their very simplistic childish writing, lazily recycled plot points, inconsistent characters, and a very preachy tone in terms of morals that don't even make sense when you think about them.
