Day of the Dumpster
"Day of the Dumpster" is the first episode of both the American television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the entire Power Rangers franchise. It premiered on the Fox network on August 28, 1993, as part of its Fox Kids programming block, and was later released on VHS and DVD. A new re-version of the episode later aired on ABC on January 2, 2010, as part of ABC Kids. As with the first season's episodes, most of the scenes featuring the Rangers in morphed form, the Zords and the villains are taken from the Japanese tokusatsu series, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, the 16th entry of the Power Rangers franchise's Japanese counterpart of origin, Super Sentai.
The VHS of this episode ranked #35 in a list of top video sales, and #11 in a list of top kids' video sales, for the year of 1994 as compiled by Billboard. The tie-in 3D read-along audio cassette of "Day of the Dumpster" became the number one seller at Walden Kids, displacing The Lion King.
Two astronauts explore the Moon and come across a space dumpster - when they open it, the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her minions Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and Finster are set free from a 10,000-year captivity. Rita decides to conquer the nearest planet: Earth, and rebuilds her palace on the Moon.
In the city of Angel Grove, California, five teenagers - Jason Lee Scott, Zack Taylor, Kimberly Hart, Billy Cranston, and Trini Kwan - are hanging out at the local youth center. The guys are working on karate, while the girls are practicing gymnastics. Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier and Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch come to harass them, but end up making fools of themselves.
The teens are later sitting down to some fruit shakes from Ernie's Juice Bar when Rita causes an earthquake. In the Command Center, which is located in a desert area, Zordon, the wise wizard who once battled Rita many years ago, tells his robotic assistant, Alpha 5, to find and teleport to him five teenagers to safeguard Earth from Rita's schemes.
Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini are then teleported to the Command Center. Zordon explains the situation and declares them the Power Rangers, a team of warriors sworn to defend life; he gives them belt-stored Power Morphers that serve as the key to accessing their power. They refuse to believe or trust him, until Rita sends a team of her Putty Patrollers to attack them outside. The teens are soon overpowered by the Putties' numbers, but Jason suggests using their Power Morphers. They then instantly morph into the Power Rangers for the first time.
After Alpha informs Zordon that the teens have morphed, Zordon has him teleport the Rangers back to Angel Grove where Rita has sent Goldar. There, the Rangers clash with another team of Putty Patrollers on the city rooftops. Soon after, Rita uses her magic staff to enlarge Goldar for a giant-sized attack on the city. In response to this, the Rangers summon the Dinozords and then form the Megazord. Following an intense battle between Goldar and the Megazord, Jason summons the Megazord's Power Sword but Goldar retreats before they can finish him off.
Back at the Command Center, the teens are finally convinced that they can save the world from Rita's evil and so decide to accept their new responsibilities as Power Rangers under three conditions:
