Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 7–9

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    The show's primary intent is to entertain, not educate.
  • Role models:

    The Rangers are clearly good guys who work well together as a team, and the lone female Ranger holds her own in strength and courage among her male counterparts. But the team's reliance on violence as a means of conflict resolution doesn't set the best example for kids.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Characters always rely on violence to resolve conflict -- but at least they do so as a team.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Violence is central to the show's plot, with lots of physical battles in each episode. Martial-arts style fighting includes kicks, punches, and occasional weapons (sticks and some firepower). No one is shown seriously injured, but in at least one scene, a man dies and transforms into a spirit.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The series comes complete with a line of toys and games for kids, and the series itself acts as a marketing tool for the merchandise.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Power Rangers: Jungle Fury

Parents need to know that, like its many predecessors, this installment in the Power Rangers franchise has lots of violence, which is the only available means of conflict resolution. Rangers engage in hand-to-hand martial-arts battles and sometimes use weapons (sticks, nunchuks, and firepower), and some villains morph into huge, insect-like creatures with menacing claws. The show (and its accompanying line of merchandise) is heavily marketed to the 5+ set, but its violent content is more appropriate for kids a few years older.
