Because 145 episodes ...aint nobody got time for that.
1. Food Fight- Sorry, Day of the Dumpster is entirely skippable. The opening for the first 61 episodes summarizes the entire episode in 5 seconds. This is the episode with the monster of the day that everyone remembers. Roman Gladiator Pig
2. Pressing Engagement- I know this episode comes before Food Fight but Food Fight is a better first episode. This episode is about the only time Jason gets any focus that isn't about how much he is in love with Tommy. It also features King Sphinx who is probably like Goldar's cousin or something
3. No Clowin Around- A very important episode because the Power Rangers learn about Stranger Danger after Trini's cousin nearly gets molested by a clown
4. Power Ranger Punks- The first episode where the writing staff realizes they can go on lunch break quicker if they just rip the plot from Sentai. Also a frog eats most of the Rangers.
5. Foul Play in the Sky- Future Emmy award winning actor Bryan Cranston guest stars
6. Peace, Love, and Woe- We find out that Billy is capable of sexual arousal
7. Switching Brains- Ambitious crossover between Power Rangers and Disney's Aladdin
8. Green with evil part 1- Not that important, I just really liked Kimberly's hat she wears in this
9. Green with evil part 2- First time Goldar sounds right
10. Green with evil part 3- We see Power Rangers examine internalized misogyny when Rita ask Squatt if she's prettier than Scorpina
11. Green with evil part 4- Again almost entirely filler, but we do learn plot crucial information that Skull wants to bang Bulk's mom
12.Green with evil part 5- First time seeing Putties act adorable when they serve Rita's crew drinks
13. Spit Flower- First time a Ranger (Tommy) tells Alpha he's annoying
14. Life's a Masquerade- It's the Halloween episode and like it's October so...
14. Ghung Ho- The plot thickens when Trini indicates she's Chinese despite looking Vietnamese and her Uncle acting Japanese. Sadly this subplot of figuring out where Trini is from is aborted when Thuy Trang leaves the show to star in The Crow. Also the Rangers get new weapons which I'm pretty sure are used frequently
15. Wheel of Misfortune- First time we see the Ultrazord according to Power Rangers
16. The Rockstar- This episode is super important for 3 reasons 1. It make everyone say the Rangers are freshman in season 1 look like an idiot BECAUSE THEY'RE CLEARLY DRIVING A CAR 2. Dan from Zyuranger guest stars 3. Jason's cousin Jeremy would later star in the very important film Bring it on 2: Bring it on Again (I have no idea if that's the actual title I'm going off memory)
17. Calamity Kimberly- Power Rangers x Dragon Ball crossover episode
18. A Star is Born- ABC KIDS decided to air this as the series finale for Mighty Morphin Power Ranges Kai so it's probably a crucial episode?
19. Green Candle part 1- I can't remember if Angela appeared before this episode. But I know she's in this episode. A must see for the subplot between Zack and Angela's relationship
20. Green Candle part 2- While not much happens in this episode we do see the Green Ranger go inside Dragonzord's cockpit which never happens again. I think?
21.A Bad Reflection on You- Who doesn't love a good evil twin episode? Sadly the franchise will never top the evil Ranger plot ever again in the entire 30 years
22. Lions and Blizzards- Zack and Angela go on a date. I think the subplot ends here.
23. Goo Fish- Kimberly takes Billy on a pity date. We foreshadow the appearance of Lord Zedd when he speaks through Goo Fish to call Billy a pussy
24.To Flea or not to Flea- There's a good boy in this episode!
25. Return of an old friend part 1- We find out the Power Rangers have parents and aren't orphans
26. Return of an old friend part 2- There was a food fight in the first episode I find essential and this episode ends in a food fight. Making it a perfect finale for s1
27. Mutiny part 1- Just because Bandai refused to sell a Rita Repulsa toy until Power Rangers Samurai in 2011 doesn't mean one doesn't exist
28. Mutiny part 2- We find out Zordon doesn't know what a Phoenix is. Indicating he might be an idiot
29. Mutiny part 3- Thunder. Mega. Zord.
30. The Wannabe Ranger- I just really liked the scene when the Rangers are posing and Fake Yellow Ranger just stealths her way in
31. Bloom of Doom- This was Amy Jo Johnson's favorite episode, and you are not better than Amy Jo Johnson.
32.Green no more- After whining no stop about losing his powers (which you can skip) Tommy finally loses his green ranger powers.
33. Green no more part 2- The Rangers make new friends, that I'm pretty sure stay as recurring characters.
34. White Light- Rita Returns
35. White Light part 2- An important character study episode where we learn Zordon hates Jason's guts.
36. The Power Transfer part 1- 3 of the 6 Rangers leave when they learn that unlike the Animaniacs they don't have play or pay contracts.
37. The Power Transfer part 2- Half the cast gets replaced. If you want to argue that the episodes introducing the new Rangers is important, you're just wrong. Sorry.
38. Goldar's Vice Versa- The Scorpina subplot comes to a tragic conclusion.
39. When is a Ranger not a Ranger?- Very Special Episode about Autism when we find out Adam has a childlike fascination with prisms
40. The Wedding part 1- The Rangers go Australia Nothing important really happens. Just nice to see the Rangers get a vacation. My high school never took us to Australia so I live vicariously
41. The Wedding part 2- A bunch of monsters appear in this episode. So if you feel like you're missing out skipping a good 60 episodes this is a good refresher
42. The Wedding part 3- Another important character episode where we learn Lord Zedd is Jewish
43. Best Man for the Job- Kimberly and Tommy arguing in the middle of the battle while Goldar tries to interrupt was iconic
44. Ninja Quest part 1- Thunder Megazord and White Tiger Thunderzord Go boom! Boom! Boom!
45. Ninja Quest part 2- Meh
46. Ninja Quest part 3- The Rangers get some sick ninja pajamas
47. Ninja Quest part 4- The Ninja Megazord makes its proper series debut after its fugly movie appearance
48. Potion Notion- Power Ranger finally takes a valiant stand against female on male rape by allowing Zedd to have a choice in his marriage to Freida
49. A Ranger Catastrophe- Did you know Tommy knew anything about cars? Me neither
50. A Ranger Catastrophe part 2- A very important episode about Cultural Ignorance when the Rangers confuse the Japanese Kitsune for a Cat
51. Changing of the Zords part 1- We learn that the Rangers keep their coins in their backpacks and not between their buttcheeks.
52. Changing of the Zords part 2- Kimberly almost dies
53. Changing of the Zords part 3- Tommy and Lord Zedd have a showdown
54. Follow that Cab-The Rangers get motorcycles shaped like Sharks.
55. A Different Shade of Pink part 1- A very special episode about not standing on a balance beam when you're feeling fatigue Kimberly you idiot
56. A Different Shade of Pink part 2- A monster that symbolizes what Hasbro has done to the franchise appears
57. A Different Shade of Pink part 3- Kimberly leaves
58. Rita's Pita - Another very special episode (seriously how many?) when we see Tommy deal with his depression over Kimberly leaving him for a 40 year old german by overeating
59. Master Vile and the Metallic Armor part 1- The Rangers finally get new upgrade powers that look really cool and aren't cheap
60 Master Vile and the Metallic Armor part 2- Idk something about a zeo crystal? They mention a zeo crystal in the 2017 so I assume it's important. Sadly the show couldn't get a deal with Krispy Kreme to mention them so the original plan for the villains to have an end of the world party at a Krispy Kremes is awkwardly rewritten to be at the Juice Bar instead
61. Master Vile and the Metallic Armor part 3- The Rangers remember they have have sidearms in their holsters
There 145 episodes reduced to 61 episodes.
