power rangers ds desperate to watch it..is nearly 5 yrs too young?

[brimfull]

will he turn into a violent turbo chraged kicking machine?

My DS will be 6 in 2 weeks and already tells me he has outgrown Power Rangers!

He started watching it about 18 months ago - never watches it now.

and he didn't turn into kicking maniac budababe??

How's the heat,saw your other thread?

My 3 year old watches it at the CM. He is now obsessed. Be prepared for Power Ranger brand everything to invade your house and yes he has started playing a bit rougher for a while but it has calmed down again now.

Well yes he IS a kicking maniac! But that is more to do with his current obsession which is football and if not kicking is playing with a light sabre - either real or imaginary!

He did do the power rangers play fighting thing but IIRC BEFORE he started watching as some boys in his class were watching it before he did.

I didn't notice too much difference TBH!

Heat less today thankfully - actually opened doors to a cool breeze this morning instead of a wall of intense heat. Will gradually cool down through the week too. Went to a wedding on Saturday and it was 102 degrees!

My DS is very very into Power Rangers. I am the pink one apparently . He is nearly 4 but has been watching for a few months. It's more about the arm motions, lots of crossing arms and hold hands up to stop evil megazords and stuff. He doesn't kick. DH was extremely concerned when I let him watch it at first but now our only worry is what Megazord to buy for his birthday, they range from 50 quid

my ds's age 2.5 and 3.5 love it!

My ds's watch it and they are 6 and 4. ds1 says its dull and has moved on to Dr Who but ds2 thinks its great. My problem is that dd thinks she is a power ranger at 21 months and comes out with the Yah and got you phrases as some of her first words.....along with Dalek I may add.

The plastic toys that go with it are a pain especially since they change the power rangers every 9 months or so and they toys change. We have had Dynothunder, SPD and now Mystic force

UCM I am the pink one

My DS wanted to be every one EXCEPT the pink one funnily enough!

Last year's birthday present was the Megazord thingie that has all the seperate power rangers and builds into the big one - never gets played with now!

DS moved on to Star Wars - we don't get Dr Who here.

Cece, you can't be. I am telling!

ds (4.10y) probably saw his 1st one around 6mo ago. He already had some figures and adores it. However we just have freeview, so it isn't on here (we did see it once on CITV when I was flicking through the listings and he notices it [grr]) so he only gets to watch it at my parents (Sky).
He definately hasn't turned into a violent turbo charged kicking machine, although he does have his moments.
It IS crap TV though and not something I would encourage.

Wouldn't say too young IMO, the story lines are so predictable that you need to be under five to appreciate them !

I did worry he's start fighting, but he tends to use the moves as dancing (very amusing to watch him and his friends at the end of term disco pulling there PR shapes

My now 5.5 year old used to watch it, AFTER badgering me for weeks as all his friends watched it, he still plays with the toys but prefers to watch Dr Who (I suspect because we let him snuggle on the sofa when its scary and he gets to stay up late.

Let him watch (with you) an episode and see how he is.

well ,I let him watch it,he didn't find it scary ,I thought he'd hate the baddies voice as he's a woos.
However the dvd kept sticking so we've given up on that one for now.

You are right though 'tis crap.

the dvd sticking was a result then

Never seen it, or put it on for ds (3), but we know a couple whose five-year-old started school last September, and they were quickly pulled to one side and asked to stop letting their ds watch it. He was apparently kicking and being aggressive at school in a Power Rangers-type way. That said, I know nothing about Power Rangers myself, and don't know the family well enough to know if the aggression was more likely caused by something else. Just thought I'd mention this, though ... but sounds like the broken DVD has sorted the problem for you for now.

against my (vain irrelevent) wishes, the ds's x3 all watch powerrangers and have done for some time. i have a 7yo dss you see and his influence is felt even when hes not about . i snurk when one of them says, 'im the pink ranger' and dp looks uncomfoprtable. and whends2 is naked (quite a bit as it hapens) he declares loudly; 'im the nekkid ranger!'which oes make me smile.
is total rubbish. they move on. now its all Ben10 this and Ben10 that... been through scooby doo, but that seems to be enduring. (at least its fairly watchable).
theyre not particularly violent so far.
