| rdfs:comment | - Power Rangers In Space is an unofficial series of Power Rangers created by Sonic Flash. It happens in a PR universe where no other Power Rangers ever existed.
- As with all Power Rangers programs, Power Rangers in Space is based on one of the entries of the Super Sentai series; in this case, the source series is Denji Sentai Megaranger. However, due to miscommunication between the United States and Japan as to the contents of the Sentai series, much of the space footage is original to the American adaptation. In Space was a turning point for the Power Rangers franchise, as the season brought closure to six seasons of plot, and it ended the practice of having regular cast members act in consecutive seasons. The theme of the series bears little similarity to its Sentai counterpart and its successor, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
- The sixth season of Power Rangers, adapted from Denji Sentai Megaranger. Managing to save the series from cancellation, this is frequently cited as one of the best, if not the best, seasons of the franchise. For the first time, the series introduced a heavily serialized plot that built from episode to episode, featuring strong themes, characterizations and coming to an epic climax that gives a degree of finality to the previous six seasons. It also eschewed the Black and White Morality that was prominent in previous seasons by featuring morally conflicted heroes and sympathetic villains, also including three reunion episodes and plenty of cameos that kept the continuity extremely tight.
- Power Rangers In Space, often abbreviated as "PRIS" or simply referred to as "In Space", was the sixth season of Power Rangers. It used footage from the twenty-first Super Sentai series, Denji Sentai Megaranger, and was dubbed in South Korea as Megaranger (메가레인저 Megaleinjeo), taking after its Sentai counterpart.

Though its initial tone was similar to that of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers in Space eventually took a darker, more emotional turn.
- Power Rangers In Space, often abbreviated as "PRIS" or simply referred to as "In Space", was the sixth season of Power Rangers. It used footage from the twenty-first Super Sentai series, Denji Sentai Megaranger, and was dubbed in South Korea as Megaranger (메가레인저 Megaleinjeo), taking after its Sentai counterpart. The show was a turning point in the history of the Power Rangers franchise, as the season brought about the end of six years worth of storylines and was the ending of the practice of having the Power Rangers be a continuous serial-style show with a regular cast that carried over from one season to the next. It was supposedly going to be the last season, but due to major ratings, they succeeded and went on to make a new season, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The characters of Mr. Caplan, Jerome Stone and Miss Appleby are completely removed from the franchise from this season onwards, as they were written out of the franchise in several episodes of the previous season, Power Rangers Turbo, when it was decided by the writers and producers that those characters (and their respective jokes and gimmicks) were no longer needed anymore. The final episodes for these characters are Alarmed and Dangerous, Carlos and the Count, and Chase into Space. The new linking civilian Angel Grove character for Bulk and Skull is, this time, Professor Phenomenus, a scatterbrained and wacky scientist specializing in extraterrestrial activity. Also, the Youth Center has been replaced by a new location called The Surf Spot, run by a woman named Adelle Ferguson.
- The sixth season of Power Rangers, adapted from Denji Sentai Megaranger. Managing to save the series from cancellation, this is frequently cited as one of the best, if not the best, seasons of the franchise. For the first time, the series introduced a heavily serialized plot that built from episode to episode, featuring strong themes, characterizations and coming to an epic climax that gives a degree of finality to the previous six seasons. It also eschewed the Black and White Morality that was prominent in previous seasons by featuring morally conflicted heroes and sympathetic villains, also including three reunion episodes and plenty of cameos that kept the continuity extremely tight. The Turbo Rangers (Not THOSE Turborangers) were beaten by Divatox, only surviving when she was called away to a meeting of the United Alliance of Evil. Even though defeated, once the Rangers and Alpha Six learned of Zordon's capture by the ruler Dark Specter they decided to chase after them. By what seems to be an accident, they meet up with Andros, a lone Red Ranger determined to stop the Alliance and rescue his missing sister. The former Turbo Rangers convince him of their worth and he shares his morphers and join their group, becoming the Space Rangers. Alpha reveals that Zordon had prepared many contingency plans in case this should happen, and now the Rangers are the best chance the galaxy has. Meanwhile Astronema, the Princess of Evil, is sent to Earth to deal with this new set of Rangers by Dark Specter. While technically Dark Specter is the Big Bad and Astronema is second-in-command, Dark Specter remains in a Man Behind the Man position for the entire series and against the Rangers Astronema serves as the Dragon-in-Chief. Along the way we're introduced to the Noble Demon Ecliptor, the titular Psycho Rangers and Card-Carrying Villain Darkonda. The climax of six years' worth of plot and villains, the series was a phenomenal hit and restored faith in Power Rangers. With the resolution of the ongoing plot, the slate had to be wiped clean for Power Rangers Lost Galaxy as they went on to a new adventure unrelated to the events of the prior series, altough if you consider Linkara's opinion, it's possible that the events of In Space had a great impact in the whole "search for a new home" plot.
