I used to like Power Rangers: Dino Thunder (remember that back in '04?) when I was young, but a couple years later, I realized how even with all the dinos, it was kinda stupid. I mean, they are supposed to win every episode and the bad guy is supposed to be a practically undefeatable menace, at least, until the series is done when they just go *poof*, but I can't understand why kids watch this stuff?. Same plot with minor differences in each episode, same two funny interlude characters, and same trick at the end of each episode (why can't they just do it in the first place?) just make it kinda worse. If handled differently, they could actually be a pretty good show.
Another dumb thing is in Star Trek: The Original Series. Every time Kirk, Spock and/or anyone else goes on an away mission they take along 2-4 security/engineering officers in red shirts to help. But every time, every single person in a red shirt (save for main characters, like Scotty) get killed. And what's worse, some of the actors who play the killed "redshirts" come back 2 episodes later. This one guy seemed to get killed at least 5 times! It's so dumb it's funny, and even the word "redshirts" is used among Trekkies to describe some people who always will get killed.
