Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Does a Body/Gender Swap Episode

  • Summary

  • “Switching Places” (October 4, 1993)

    If you’re reading this and deciding that Power Rangers is not a sitcom, you’re correct! We’re doing it anyway, and as elder millennials who were just a little too old for MMPR when it originally aired, we’re bringing in a ringer in the form of Sina Grace — artist, writer and bonvivant. whose work in the comics world has included writing for these very teenagers with attitude. In this episode, Billy and Kimberley swap bodies and so David Yost and Amy Jo Johnson have fun imitating each other while also commenting on gender norms… inasmuch as that’s possible in a 20-minute-long TV episode about superheroes who fight giant monsters.

    Buy Sina’s latest comic, West Hollywood Monster Squad.

    Support Sina’s Kickstarter for his book about dog grief, Life on Paws.
