By the time General Venjix was in charge but before he got Serpenterra, yes.  During its height under King Mondo?  Not a chance.

That feeling you get when you're in the club and it's so packed that you accidentally elbow a lady in the boob when you turn around because she was standing too close behind you and you two make eye contact and you're both so embarrassed you look away not sure if you should apologize or if you should just pretend it didn't happen but you manage to say you're sorry and she's looking like sorry ain't going to cut it and she's getting ready to throw a fit so you offer to buy her and her boyfriend a drink because they're killing the mood but she doesn't want a drink and instead would rather leverage this as a teachable moment for her man and she looks at him like Bob Hoskins looking at Jet Li in Danny The Dog which was called Unleashed in America but that's a bad title but a good Luc Besson film about some dude who captures Jet Li and makes him wear a leash and trains him to fight on command for him which might be a profound analogy about racism but fuck if you know because you've been drinking all night and now is not the time for getting too deep into that because her boyfriend is looking at you and sizing you up like he's thinking it's too early to be fighting in the club and he hasn't even gotten a drink in him yet and you can see the mental arithmetic going on behind his eyes and his bravery melts as he begins to realize he might not be able to take you in a one-on-one, not to mention you're rolling 20-30 deep and half your squad looks like they could probably play linebacker - like a bunch of Ronda Rouseys and that green man with the knives in Guardians of the Galaxys or whatever the plural form of that would be - and it's crazy, you guys look like you could probably march on a city and take it over right now if you wanted to like Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones leading his Dothraki horde with so many thuggish looking types in your crew it's like as if someone just emptied half the cells in county and the sheriffs just threw them all on a bus and drove them straight up the 101 to meet you at the club but let them change on the way because you've never seen an orange jumpsuit in the club plus this guy sizing you up remembers the five or six step handshake/hug you gave the bouncer as you came in so there's probably no help for him there and he can't say it because his woman is standing right next to him but he's pleading with you with his eyes on some "Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope," as his self preservation instincts are outweighing his dedication to this chick so you just go your separate ways and that looks like that's that but you spot them again later and they look like they're not really enjoying themselves and it kind of makes you feel drunk with power that you can intimidate without even lifting a finger but then guilt starts wracking you because you want to live righteously and want to use your strength for good and not to scare people and your Uncle Ben who taught you that with great power comes great responsibility would be so disappointed in you right now or maybe that was Spider-man's uncle but you never had an uncle to teach you any lessons so go ahead and call him your uncle because comic book character or not it's as good a moral teacher as you ever had growing up, and you feel bad for introducing this air of tension into the night of these two strangers because no matter what, you were the one who bumped into them but maybe their nights out are just ordinarily like this and it has nothing to do with you but you still just don't know what to do so you keep drinking until you are buzzed enough that you think you're goddamn Ban Ki-moon and can negotiate your way out of anything so you tell the bartender to send them over an expensive bottle of something they sell at 400% markup as an apology but you're so buzzed you aren't really sure what is a good peace offering drink and the bartender is either too stupid to help or hoping to instigate something by letting you order something terrible and you settle on Ciroc because your friend Bobby Bottleservice swears by it, calling it "Diddy shit," and if you think too long and hard about it you might remember Bobby Bottleservice isn't your friend after all but a character by comedian Nick Kroll but you already ordered it and in a few days from now when you look at your credit card statement you're going to be so, so angry to see how much they charged for it but for now you watch them deliver the bottle to them and wait to see how they react like Kennedy using back channels to tell Krushchev America doesn't really need them Saturn missiles in Turkey and will take them out if the Soviets will only back down from putting nukes in Cuba but they can't just come out and say it in the open because the Joint Chiefs and the Soviet politburo always want to squabble and if their leaders appear to be anything less than belligerent to their enemy then they'll be called Neville Chamberlains and appeasers, which is always a funny historical analogy because it makes you wonder if they're saying the lesson of Munich was in the future you should always be willing to go to war as a first resort to preserve the territorial integrity of Czechoslovakia which is not even a country today so then maybe our lack of bloodshed over the fact might mean we are all a bunch of appeasers, and the more you start thinking like that the more you wonder if you are Neville Chamberlaining this situation and are so determined to have Peace In Our Time in this club that you are appeasing the fuck out of these two when you should instead be siccing your crew on them or maybe you screwed up the historical lesson somewhere along the way and also shouldn't have even ordered Ciroc because it's a shit drink and also, what, did you expect these two to drink the whole bottle when they probably got to drive later, but hey, such is the predicament the cruel fates have thrown you in.

So if you are going to spend the time and energy to write something, I would generally recommend writing something original.

Stunt Coordinator/Director Akihiro Noguchi with Ilia Volok as Dr. Viktor Adler aka Master Org somewhere in the Amazon rain forest.

Early design of Jindrax's brother Juggelo.  Note the placeholder name "Team Circus" instead of "Team Carnival" (and the typo "hihgly" - whoops!).  Also note episode 31 is listed here as Team Carnival was the 31st Power Rangers Wild Force episode produced even though it was the 30th to be aired.

I thought it was better than MMPR season 2 (which had just aired before it) but not as good as MMPR season 3 (which aired afterwards).  Those first two miniseries for season 3 - A Friend in Need and Ninja Quest - felt more epic and even cinematic despite being made on a much lower budget.
