Power Rangers Turbo
American television series
Power Rangers Turbo is a television series and the fifth entry of the Power Rangers franchise that aired in 1997. The show was prefaced with the franchise's second film, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
As with its predecessors, Power Rangers Turbo is based on one of the entries of the Super Sentai series; in Turbo's case, the source is the 20th series, Gekisou Sentai Carranger. The series introduced a child actor as the new Blue Ranger, thus becoming the sole series so far to feature a pre-teen Ranger, and featured the departure of long-running characters Zordon and Alpha 5; the veteran team of Rangers also departed, with four new characters being introduced as their replacements. The series also marked the final regular appearances of Johnny Yong Bosch, Catherine Sutherland, and Steve Cardenas, as well as the last appearance of Nakia Burrise.
Plot
After Maligore's defeat, the Turbo Power Rangers, Tommy Oliver, Adam Park, Tanya Sloan and Katherine Hillard graduate from high school, while the new 12-year-old Blue Ranger, Justin Stewart, skips ahead a couple of grades and gets to go to Angel Grove High. Seeking revenge, Divatox begins to attack the Rangers. At the beginning of the season, the Rangers’ longtime mentors, Zordon and Alpha 5 depart to return to Zordon's home planet of Eltar, making way for the spectral Dimitria of Inquiris and Alpha 6. Other changes are also seen as Ernie leaves Angel Grove to do volunteer work in South America and Lt. Stone takes over the Juice Bar.

Why this record matters
