As it turns out, Hasbro buying Power Rangers may have been a factor in Toei's decision to put Super Sentai on hiatus from TV after Gozyuger.
If that's the case, then screw Hasbro for doing this. This definitely screams the Harmony Gold situation relating to Robotech, though unlike Big West and Tatsunoko, Toei are directly involved with Power Rangers but the upcoming Disney+ series will be the first Power Rangers project in which Toei will not be involved.
Not only that but it would've made more sense for Toei to take full control of the Power Rangers IP instead of Hasbro and continue with the franchise under their own hands like doing a much better job than Saban Brands.
And according to producer Shinichiro Shirakura, the franchise's hiatus from TV (barring other media like adaptations, direct-to-video specials, feature films, webseries etc) could last a decade, which is not surprising at all, given their sister franchises and competitors: - Ultraman (three year gap between Ultraseven and Return of Ultraman - 1968-71, four year gap between Leo and The Ultraman - 1975-79, 16 year gap between 80 and Tiga - 1981-96, two year gap between Gaia and Cosmos - 1999-2001, two year gap between Cosmos and Nexus - 2002-04 and six year gap between Mebius and Ginga - 2007-13) - Kamen Rider (four year gap between Stronger and Skyrider - 1975-79, six year gap between Super-1 and Black - 1981-87 and 11 year gap between Black RX and Kuuga - 1989-2001) - Metal Heroes (27 year gap between Robotack and Gavan Infinity - 1999-2026, doubles as launch of a new tokusatsu franchise called Project R.E.D.)

I agree with Ellis on Stadium:MK and Kassam Stadium. In fact, I've been to the former for Collectormania back in 2013 and it's just bland.

It's a good thing that I still have the original DVD release of The Simpsons' third season with "Stark Raving Dad".
