Power Cuts - Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue


Welcome to the Power Cuts section. Although this is mainly for us UK fans others may also find it interesting. Power Rangers is shown mainly (at the moment) on Jetix. The problem is that Fox Kids / Jetix edit some of the episodes. Sometimes they have to so that they follow OFCOM rules which every channel which is licensed to broadcast in the UK must do, but most of the time is for some stupid unknown reason.

You've probally not seen it

Cut This episode has, as far I know, only been aired once in the UK on ITV1. In every airing of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue on Fox Kids/Jetix this episode is skipped. The official reason on why this was never shown on Fox Kids/Jetix is unknown but most think it is due to Dana (Pink Ranger) being held at gunpoint.
