Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
They should have hired him to continue to run Power Rangers after the buyout.

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Saban wasn't a production guy. And he had just sold the series. They did keep the majority of MMPR Productions for a year. But they weren't looking to buy pr in the first place. Doug and Ann came to them after they cancelled the series.

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
No matter how hard we try to tell him , he still thinks Saban is some kind of writer and producer.

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
a lot of other Executive Producers actively engage in the production of their show including being on set as much as possible but this wasn't the case with Haim Saban.
Doug Sloan and Ann did it with Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder even to the point of taking the drastic step of moving to New Zealand to do the work. Chip has also been in New Zealand for Dino Charge and more than likely Ninja Steel. I don't know if he went to the drastic step that Doug and Ann did of actually moving there even on a temporary basis but it wouldn't surprise me. Also these following shows aren't related to Power Rangers but Jeff Franklin of Full House and Fuller House was also actively engage in both shows' productions even to the point of regularly being on the set. Alfred Gough was also involved with Smallville he was heavily involved with it in the beginning but not to the point Doug, Ann, Chip and Jeff would've been. He was more like in the middle since he had hired other people to deal with the actual writing of the episodes. |
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Usually the main exec producer is the showrunner in TV. But there are exceptions....Especially for Turbo part 2-WF. Jonathon was technically the producer but became Showrunner mid Turbo. Levy was Executive Producer with Saban. But he only was showrunner from MMPR to Turbo Par 1. In both cases there was another interesting wrinkle. Levy and Tzachor were both directors and not writers. Usually a showrunner has more of a writing background. But both had more influence creatively than Saban. We know Tzachor had a lot of influence. But this senario did make story editors like Sloan, Lynn, Marachand, and Bhaumik even more important
During the Disney era they had more conventional showrunners. Sloan and Kalish were both from writing backgrounds and credited as Execs. As were Eddie and Judd. The new Saban era went back to Tzachor as a director showrunner but credited as Executive this time. Now that Lynn has joined its back to Disney era style. |
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Saban was a lot more involved than you guys think. Only Saban Fan and I seem to understand this.

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Its all depends on your opinion.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Not necessarily. Opinions are fine and should be respected. But there is such a thing as an informed opinion. And in this case its mostly fact. Especially the statement of Saban not being that involved creatively.
Two biggest creative influences Saban had with this show were deciding to license Super Sentai Footage ckmbine it with American Civilian Scenes to make Power Rangers...And the fact he oversaw things a bit more in season 1, mainly reviewing scripts and stuff. But beyond that he was very much just the business guy. Saban was more of a programming guy in the Saban Entertainment era. Now he is mainly an owner or the brand. |
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
I can respect people's opinions and the way they interpret things. But it doesn't mean I have to say they are right.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Who says Saban ecen wanted the job? He just sold his whole company at that point.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Right, George Lucas didn't sell Star Wars so he could work for Disney. And they didn't hire him to run the brand.

They kept the same production team for a year before making changes. And even then hired old crewmembers to run the thing until they left.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Saban should have been more involved after season 1. So the quality of the show didn't dip. Maybe Tommy and Kim would have stayed together. But it depends on Saban's opinions.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
You hire the old owner to own the show for you?
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Saban was never going to run production of the show. And doesn't now. Back then he was getting out of children's television anyway.

To Denounce the evils of America Sentai
To extend her reach to the html codes around Sentai Snobs move at the speed of Goggle Fiber Original Footage, thats not right! Disney shouldn't have laid Tzachor off. He at least understood how to adapr Super sentai closely. Too bad misguided writers like Judd Lynn and Amit Bhaumik got in his way. |

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
That was never going to happen.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
I don't think Saban was a writer.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
This was never happening
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Disney hired Sloan , so he didn't need to.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Why would they want to hire Saban? And why would he want to work for them?
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
If Saban was so good then why do his newer seasons all suck? Disney didn't do a great job either though.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Didn't Disney not even want Power Rangers?

Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
They just kept it going for a year and quietly canceled it to save money. Doug and Ann convinced Disney to keep the show going by moving to New Zealand, to save on production costs.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
I think people like Sloan and Lynn were more influential than Saban.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Saban just believed in the concept if combining Super Sentai footage with American Civilian scenes. He is proud of the brand, based on how he went to the trouble to buy it back. But he isn't a creative guru.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
The reality is there are many names that have shepherded the series creatively. Saban is not really one of them. But he gets credit for coming up with the idea of the show and funding it. Not to mention funding a new company to buy it back once Disney cancellee the series.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
I get the impression that Saban regretted not making PR excluded from the Saban Entertainment sale. Given he would have sold everything else, I think PR would have closed down for awhile after one more year of Wild Force. There would have been a rival though.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
I do wonder if Time Force would have been it for awhile. Given the sale happened during post production. Would Wild Force have just remained on Fox all year? Or would it have been scrapped entirely?
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
It all depends if Fox Kids wanted the whole season. We know Wild Force finished up on ABC Kids and Fox Kids itself closed down soon after perhaps Saban would have sold WF's second half to Fox Box and possibly future seasons.
|
Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?
Wild Force would have finished on Fox Box. American Sentai would then be replaced by dubbed Super Sentai. Fox Box did buy a dubbed version of Ultraman Tiga.

Shut up traitor! We don't need you're bs. You ruined the Sentai Snobs!
