Eh, I don't know. I just don't see this Gorenjer thing taking off. I bet it gets cancelled early to make room for a police drama.

As a big Doctor Who fan, I feel the need to point out that Doctor Who was also on air in the 70s featuring a corny super hero. In fact, they had an episode on the 5th of April 1975.

Today's also Kamen Rider Stronger's 50th anniversary.
Seen:
Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan
Other: Spiderman, Power Rangers

Oh, that broke my brain. I forgot Rider was technically older than Sentai

As someone who is currently watching Goranger and has previously watched the others: 70's Batman is corniest, then Goranger, then 70's Doctor Who.

Although with how much early who was basically after-school special stuff, you could probably make an argument that Goranger is the least corny. what with EAGLE soldiers being gunned down by the dozen every other episode and Momoranger straight up disarming someone, then using their own gun to mow them down with at point blank range. No blood in that show though, so ymmv what you consider more/less corny :lol:
