The original Super Sentai shows where not an English dub and the Power Rangers is new production with English-speaking actors spliced in with the original Japanese footage to varying ratios.

Due to the very Japanese nature of many of Sentai's stories, the American adaptations are generally changed to fit its Western audience.

Saban Entertainment acquired the rights to produce the series of shows from 1993 to 2002 which acquired the rights by Walt Disney Television. But by 2010 Saban Brands bought the Power Rangers franchise including all worldwide rights and property from the Walt Disney Company. This also initiated a partnership with Nickelodeon the follow year
