Fans believe that one of these specials might get footage from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger Returns: Special Act. 

Also while I got your attention, Earth Entertainment released pictures of the first six Hot Wheel Power Rangers line including the 20th Anniversary car, Black, Yellow, Red, Blue and Robo Knight.

Who could be Trickster?

 I've seen the final episodes except the two specials and these monsters yet have to be seen.

Power Rangers Samurai Sneak Peek - When Will Air?

Everyone wants to know when or where exactly these Power Rangers Samurai sneak peaks will air. What I hear is it will only appear NickToons, I heard a rumor it might appear on Nickelodeon. I don't have NickToons, only Nickelodeon so if it doesn't air on Nickeoldeon, don't expect the video here unless someone uploads it on YouTube and I will post it here if I'm not busy. Also, I always watch the Thanksgiving parade and will be recording it and will post that on the blog. You'll have to pick a show you won't mind watching and pay attention during the commercial breaks. Here are the times previously announced for the Power Rangers Samurai sneak peek during the All-Heroes Weekend on Nicktoons:

Thursday, Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. - Hero Factory

Saturday, Nov. 27 at 10 p.m. (or just a few minutes before) - Spongebob

Sunday, Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. - Zevo3

These times are coming from the Power Rangers On-Air Central.

How to watch Super Sentai

It used to be real hard to watch Super Sentai back in the day (90's and early 2000's) because there was no streaming, no youtube and no constant subtitlers like #TV-Nihon. but oh well. What you had to do was buy online from websites tapes with subtitles, but 4 episodes per tape, that could go from $20 to $50 and to get a whole series of 50, let's not event talk about it! Nowadays, people download the episodes for free. TV-Nihon subtitles it for free, many fans complain about how long it takes them to release an episode but I say be thankful for what you got. Anyhoo, I am making this post for whoever doesn't know how to see episodes.

Youtube changes from time to time, what you can get for sure is the latest season and ones from a couple eyars ago, for example like Gekiranger (2007), Go-Onger (2008) and even as far as Abaranger, at times. Older series are hard to find with subtitles and even harder with good subtitles. Tv-Nihon is currently working with Dairanger, that's awesome. I own the whole series of Dairanger but 2 episodes are bad quality and all of them have no subtitles.

Anyhoo... you can see episodes online live streaming the day they air. You can use KeyHoleTv that let's you see Japanese TV live, you just have download it and look for TV Asahi. I have a mac and there is a mac version.

Super Sentai episodes ALWAYS air at 7:30 am on Sunday mornings in Japan. They are ahead of us, so when it is Sunday morning there, it is Saturday afternoon here. Here is how to watch in the U.S. and Canada:

Power Rangers First-Run Episodes on Networks and Days aired

Here I am talking about first-run episodes, or when a new episode debuted on and on what channel. I am NOT talking about what channel reruns aired on. I might mention it here and there with MMPR S1 for example. I also might mention what channels carried the season the year it aired. If it wasn't the year it first aired, I don't mention the channel is basically what I am saying. Also, I am ONLY covering the United States, not what channels the show has aired Internationally because I am talking about first-run ever in the whole world. And the U.S. got the 'world' premiere except for of course SPD's "Wormhole" that aired in Canada and "Mystic Fate" two-parter in the UK. Through the 17 seasons, Power Rangers has aired on a lot of channels and on different days. And the network executives have really toyed with kids when the show would even air! Sometimes an episode would air on Saturday one month and then Wednesday on another or even on a Sunday on a completely different channel for one week!

I had to do a lot of research from the PRC Episode Guide, TV.com and using a calendar and my own recollection.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season One
FOX Kids (First Run: 1993-1994)
The first episode aired on Saturday and then new episodes on weekdays. Sometimes new episodes would pop up on Saturdays like "Life's A Masquerade" for example. The last three episodes premiered on Mondays, weeks apart. Episodes would later re-run on Fox Kids in 1999, ABC Family from 2002 to 2006, Toon Disney between I think 2005 to 2008, and the first season re-aired with new graphics on ABC Kids in 2010 and were called 'new'.
