** Also, the originally planned ending had Jen staying in 2001 with Wes to keep the [[ScrewDestiny recurring theme]] going. But due to this trope this was thrown out the window, resulting in writer Judd Lynn quitting the show.
*** The team-up in the next season did have Jen return to the present, though it's never stated one way or the other whether she stayed this time.

* OldShame: Averted heavily. All the starring actors look back very fondly on their time as Ranger actors, and are still friends to this day. Creator/ErinCahill still attends Ranger panels and events and has spoken highly of the quality of the series, and Jason Faunt notably returned to the role of Wes for ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' and ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel''.
** {{Irony}}: The same cannot be said of Masaru Nagai, who played Wes' counterpart in ''Timeranger'', who only acknowledged he did the show in an interview where the interviewer brought it up. (For a time, until he returned as a cameo in ''[[Series/KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger Ryusoulger]]'')

** Dan Southworth's favorite episode was "Clash for Control Part 1". As a kid, he was a huge fan of the Series/LandOfTheLost, so having an episode set in prehistoric times was a dream come true. He also liked the "Movie Madness" episode, where he played the role of a caveman.

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: As a series that regularly involves lots of property damage, there was a lot of editing that invoked the trope after 9/11. (fellow Fox Kids series ''WesternAnimation/TheRippingFriends'' and ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' also got affected- several episodes of both shows weren't aired.)

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The reason the show is for the most part a ShotForShotRemake was because Timeranger’s plot was ingrained into the stock footage, making it hard to make significant changes.

* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/DanSouthworth was offered the role of Wes. Interesting to note: in the show, the team was hoping that the Quantum Morpher would go to Wes.
** Just before that, he auditioned for Lucas. But, apparently, the crew thought he was "a little too intense" to be the Blue Ranger.

Wes. Just before that, he auditioned for Lucas. But, apparently, the crew thought he was "a little too intense" to be the Blue Ranger.



** Eric was originally slated to die, just like his counterpart in ''Timeranger''. The writers were skeptical that Fox Kids [[NeverSayDie would allow this]], so they filmed two versions of the scene: one where he died, and one where he lived. Fox Kids, as expected, vetoed the death. It worked out for the better, considering his performances in his two teamup appearances.

* PromotedFanboy: Years before Dan Southworth got the part of Eric -- during the Zordon-era, to be exact -- he was a stunt-double for Austin St. John (Jason) and for Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam), when both their characters were suited up (though of course it's well known that those two did most of their own stunts when unmorphed and on a few occasions when they were suited up).
* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Daniel Southworth as Eric Myers looks so much like his Japanese counterpart, Shinji Kasahara as Naoto Takizawa, that at several points the series uses faraway shots of Naoto directly from Timeranger.

* UnderageCasting: Michael Copon (Lucas) was the youngest cast member at 18 years of age. Assuming that the Time Force agency is the futuristic equivalent of a police academy, and that Lucas is the same age as his actor, that would mean that he somehow managed to finish school, go through all the training required to work in law enforcement, and meet all the qualifications despite being young enough to be a senior in high school. This also goes for Erin Cahill (Jen), who was 21 at the time, though to a lesser extent. Deborah Estelle Harris (Katie) at 23 is a little more believable. Justified with Kevin Kleinberg (Trip), as Trip is an alien and therefore could be any age.
