This special was actually pretty daring for a Nickelodeon ouvre, skeletons and all (well, maybe not as daring as “Are You Afradi of the Dark?). The whole special took pace at “The Magic Castle” in Hollywood, and the strange happenings are all pretty much what happens if you ever visit. You MUST have an invitation from a member magician, however, to have dinner (pretty pricey), but the magic shows (multiple) and the ambiance are all worth it – plus there’s a hotel. Jonathan Brandis’s next few offerings were more memorable, NES II and Stepfather II, but his performance was all fairly authentic as he had a major interest in magic which continued throughout his life.

By the way, the hard-core Brandis fans at jonathanbrandis.org would be willing to do just about anything to get hold of a copy of this special – which has been gone from the radar for a VERY long time – and featured him in a pretty large role.

Rok. I remember watching this in the afternoon after I got home from daycare. The magician made me scream and hide behind the couch. Ruined any hope of ever enjoying a vegas magic show for the rest of my life.

Oh, whoops, I didn’t catch my typo. The show was Big, Bad Beetle Borgs.
There’s a G.

haha oh man, Marc Summers. I loved him on Double Dear and What Would You Do as a kid. I have his book. Turns out he has obsessive compulsive disorder.

Virtual Reality Troopers (better known as VR Troopers) and Big, Bad Beetle Bors had no official relationship to the Power Rangers, but they were both clearly rip-offs of the show, and they were terrible. In defense of VR Troopers, though, they failed in their first mission, much in the same way that the show failed to capture an audience. Probably because it was terrible.

I remember the one with the three who had Beetle powers. Never cared for ‘em much. But I watched ‘em.

I’ve been watching PR footage and I just remembered the whole series on the Origin of the Green Ranger. Just priceless. Mega Dragonzord. Take that Red Ranger.

Tommy was around forever. I also remembered how the White Tiger zord responded to his movements instead of controls. Just like Omnigears!!!! Except those used thoughts, but they’re still two concepts on the same continuum.
