I wonder if this means Beast Morphers will be on at prime time.
Series after those maybe. Depending on how much ratings increase and content of that one.
This is a special thing for the anniversary. Not a regular time slot change.

This is a special thing for the anniversary. Not a regular time slot change.
If the show proves itself a ratings large increase, then it'll be marketed and elevated accordingly. But as of right now, due to the sentai footage available, nothing in Beast Morphers would warrant an immediate change in time slots. Content is still comparable to normal power rangers, so it'd maintain the normal power rangers time slot as that's where current demographics expect it.
Any larger change won't happen until it warrants it by content or valid reason on a full season(s) scale. Which as of right now, Beast Morphers using Go-buster footage isn't that. And any footage adapted that would warrant it, hasn't been made on Toei's end as yet. Everything up to Lupin X Pat adapted would still be same time slot. It's the audience demographic reasons, and that time slot is good for that demographic.
So it really more depends on what Hasbro plans for the 30th, and what they talk to Toei about making for the 30th on footage or original footage they make for that. Or whatever the show after Lupin X Pat is. The archived footage for now doesn't support a move at least through Lupin X Pat footage and below. Unknown for anything after, because anything after has yet to be made.
Expecting that all of a sudden it'll go teen or more adult oriented when the footage library has had no impact by the transition is foolhardy and expecting too much too fast.
So for now, outside of specials and anniversary things, or first episode premieres, maybe finales, don't expect any large changes.
The only other reason that may change is if Beast Morphers ends up being one long anniversary style show, then maybe. But that seems unlikely, and previously when Super MegaForce was that, they still didn't change the time slot, but did schedule in special episodes and a finale at key times for the wider audience appeal, much like this is doing for this one.
First ive heard of this anniversary episode. And the front page story doesn't link to a forum thread.
I hope that Kat & Tommy are married.
The return of rangers from the past makes me happy. specially Kat and Wes. Would be nice a cameo of one ranger of every season.
