  • Ugh that is so whack...thats why they kept changing people...see thats why my whole family stopped watching...I don't hear kids talking about the show either...I don't know hoe its still on the air...

  • I don't care what anybody says Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is the best and if you watch the other seasons good for you but nothing is ever better than the original...

  • omg he was my favorite

  • He owned a pizza place in sacramento... :)

  • saban wasnt that the original company that owned them then disney now they own them again

  • Original 5 was the best.

  • Let's just set something straight. Jason David Frank and David Yost are still good friends to this day, so if anyone wants to throw around the "homophobe" word around, throw it somewhere else. You're wrong.

  • Jason David Frank is a dick and a big time homophobe!

  • He is just joking? It sounds to me that Jason did not respect David at all.

  • @MasterNinja1990 he didn't. jdf hated david. theres a video on here somewhere, its a backstage shoot of an episode. while david is being interviewed, jason flips him off from behind the camera.

  • yes I can belive thats true. There is also a behind the scenes where David seems to be really anoyed with Jason. It feels really bad inside me. Jason have been my idol sense I was only 6. Now he is beating people up half naked in a ring and talking trash about his fellow rangers behind their backs. He broke my heart (as a fan that is) =(

  • @MasterNinja1990 Tommy was the green ranger, the one in that video and the MMA fighter. Jason was the red ranger. If the red ranger was your hero, you're in the clear. He was really nice to David Yost and is now a firefighter, I think.

  • No Tommy was my idol. His real name is Jason. Thats why I call him that. I wish I never checked all these videos on youtube. In that way I would never have found out about this shit. But I have so thats it. I have made up my mind now: Tommy was my hero when I was 6 and he still is. Jason David Frank is not my hero. He is an asshole!!!

  • most people want to be the red ranger but ive always wanted to be the blue ranger and now im seeing the original blue ranger.

  • Id like to see him in some more shows, JJ Abrams should hire him for something

  • I don't wanna bring it up to be an asshole its just something that dawned on me, kinda like the Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger thing. Knowing that he's gay does anyone else find it interesting that his Thunderzord was a Unicorn?

  • That's the problem with today's Power Rangers. The actors get changed every year that it's hard to like any series. I also doubt that any future series will ever be as good or popular as the first. Saban had a good thing in the beginning but now, the series isn't as good.

  • @texasphoenix : No, it's not the fact of changing the cast every year. One of the reasons MMPR became as famous as it was is because the first season or two were aired like a soap opera. It was shown every weekday afternoon on Fox after kids got out of school. After season 2 I believe, children now had to wait a week to watch new episodes.

  • @texasphoenix : Overall, I'm sure other Power Rangers series could have been successful had they been aired in that format and not just shown every Saturday morning. Oh yeah, and as much as I love the original, I love Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, and Time Force even more. Not only is the story better, but the acting and the dialog is as well. Those still had some cheesyness to them, but not as much as the original. Power Rangers RPM is also very good and had self aware humor.

  • When the music changes at 5:21 I'm like "Damn, here we go now"

  • I agree with everybody here and David Yost too. I have started watching PR again in 2006/2007,and still am, and I have to say that I've seen the Originals were very amazing and Morphinominal because they DO have so much together! It's like one big happy family! I cried when ALL of them left the show. I didn't mind the others though.

  • He was one of the best Power Ranger!!!

  • Oh my, what happened to him? He looks so...malnourished.

  • @SynneDennis its called getting older lol

  • I so agree with him on the last part. I hated when Autin,Waltr and Thuy left and after Amy did also I just stop watching and I think I was like 9 then. Anyway that's why Might Morphin(the oringals) to this day is known as the best season and best rangers of their colors because the cast and characters grew so close.Like a kid daytime show.If they was smart they'd ask the oringal 6 to come back as rangers and pay them right.Ofcourse sadly having to replace Thuy a.k.a Trini with a look alike

  • He is a wonderful speaker, he's very articulate and intelligent. You go David, he was always my favorite.

  • The Original power rangers were the ones worth watching.. The best cast.

  • The original cast were the best simple as that really. 

  • Yeah they should have kept them until after zeo. But don't keep the cast of samurai cause they cant act for crap.

  • Power Rangers was never the same after the original cast was replaced! I know that there has to be diversity, but honestly, I miss the original MMPR!

  • @deadlynightshade19 I'm with you.

  • Comment removed

  • i want one more show with all of the original rangers. jason, tommy, billy, zack, and kimberly (sad that trini is dead, so bring back the other 3 too that replaced them just one more

  • Who cares if he's gay! he's still one of my heroes!!

  • Of course Billy is not gay, the actor playing him is. That way I am still allow to crush on Billy :)

  • he should sell the sofa on Ebay.

    n does any one have MMPR movie on dvd is all the deleted thing on their..

  • David Yost is laughing at these youtube comments. LOL

  • STupid COncept, you can be replaced you loose fans that way, The Original Cast! was best!! people need to learn to go out with class, should have never kept make million power rangers!.

  • @DreamProjectsEnt

    For real! Does he not see that we the older fans still want to relive the MMPR Zordon times. Hell Id be happy if they did this with a new cast at least.

  • I don't care if he is gay,he is still a very cool dude.

  • @Willwork4Rupees Thats because your gay and you want to blow him faggot lol.

  • @Sp33dDem0n1 Hey dont be a dick you troll.Your just commenting on every video I comment on stalker.Well Ive blocked you now Dickwad.

  • @Sp33dDem0n1 On every video? Please name the videos you idiot lol. Stalker? Yeah you wish, i wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire. You cannot block me on video comments hehe. BTW, the Back to the future movies sucked ass. I hope they dont do a remake cause.....ah wtf hey the couldnt make them worse then the originals. Butt head.

  • @Sp33dDem0n1 Dumbass,why are you talking about Back to the future here?This is a video about David Yost.

  • wow, he has aged big time.

  • Dont give a fuck about what sex he likes not my business. But a legend here. The original six

  • @gio517moonwalker yeah he is a legend and the only original 5 that lasted from the first episode of MMPR to the last episode...he is the greatest and longest lasting blue ranger

  • Why all the negative and disgusting comments on a guy who impacted so many of our childhoods.

  • All the bad commonts about David are so unnessary, he looks like a great person. If you dont like him keep your bad commonts to your self

  • he kinda looks like the Robocop without his face mask, (if billy was shaved bald)

  • @jaysong87 I actually lol'd

  • Even in hindsight, Billy comes across as totally straight. I think there should be less prejudice against gay actors' playing straight characters. Another example: I found out only the other day that the actor playing the ever-womanizing Barney in 'How I Met Your Mother' is gay. Any way, 'MMPR' rocked, despite the use of stock footage! The 1990s were a great decade to be a child.

  • WOW! A 30min toy commercial? I never thought about it that way. Damn. If he wouldn't have thought about it that way & thought about the fans more he would have sold a lot more toys because when the original cast left I left.

  • man i wish they would never change the characters and actors thats why i stop watching it.

  • well he went ahead and replaced the cast every series season u left....MMPR=the best series EVER!!!!

  • he's cute

    

  • How old was he when he did power rangers?!?! he looks like he's 50!!!

  • @Shadowdrey he was 24 at the time of episode 1. by the time this interview came out, he was 41

  • He is one of the best original rangers of all time i think that they shouldnt have given him shit about his sexual orientation its just wrong and rude a persons private life is thier private life deal with it even now as a 18 year old i still say

    TRICERATOPS

  • @screamfan231 I Agree with you brother..

  • @charlie16chaplin thanks

  • I dont care about his sexual orientation you guys need to grow the hell up be more mature if you got any

  • @roburo2002

    Who cares about you and what you think? You need to grow the hell up and be more mature. David Yost maybe a cool guy, but he's still a fag.

  • @ooOmegaSupremeoo Go eat a dick you annoying as cunttroll

  • "theater fag " damn ,,,, Dd power rangers make you gay? What was it? It made u rich and u still couldn't find yourself bro, shit!

  • I agree. Original 6 was beast!!!!!

  • Now he looks like that dude on those old Hair Club For Men commercials from the 80's and 90's, who was not only president, but also a client.

  • I think Billy still looks the same! Anyone else agree??

  • But what about his co-stars? Did they treat him kindly or not?

  • The day they kept changing cast is the day power rangers became a toy commercial and died. I enjoyed Billy and the rest of the original cast.

    I didnt air in my country ( Saudi Arabia ) I watched some episodes in other channels but being a kid i couldnt memorize when it aired and which channel.. I saved money with my older & younger bros. and bought the VHS of the movie and every game on the SNES plus the toys,. so I had to sav we went to the UK for 2 weeks and I screamed when I saw it on.

  • He's so polite

    

  • Billy, doesn't matter what your sexual orientation is, you were a great actor and one of my favorites. Even if you weren't an actor ignorant, racist and homophobic people will always be around. You just have to be strong and dont let them get to you.

  • His hairline's receding now, but he still has that SAME voice! Brings back memories.... Go Billy!

  • @RaySingh87 Exactly, like Krist Novoselic....He's bald now, but he's still Krist

  • @jaketheman091 and got a santa clause beard lol

  • @mustymuf hahahaaa yeah man

  • Seemed like Rocky had big shoes to fill for the Zeo Blue Ranger. But they could have brought back Billy for Turbo instead of that Justin kid, uh he annoyed me.

  • Still though he influences me a bit to just keep on goin. :) It's Morphin' Time!! Triceratops!

  • Man.... The Blue Ranger... I feel like tearing up right now... He was my fav Character and most of all my fav Ranger. I've loved the Triceratops Dinozord. As a kid I'd imagine myself wearing the triceratops uniform and hoping to be like him one day :) course I'm 19 now and sittin infront of a laptop on YouTube nowadays

  • @JackCB55 Dude, same here word for word.

    "Triceratops!!!"

  • Thumbs up if you think Billy is the best Blue Ranger EVER!!

  • God, He Aged.....badly!!!

  • @dvp4life He had a nervous break down and he was older than the others to begin with. Most of them haven't aged well. Although then again some won't be aging anymore at all.

  • I just love the Serious Time Music. :)

  • Please don't remove commenting altogether. I appreciate being able to say how much I love this guy. Forget those haters.

  • wow i didnt the movie was made in australia

  • BILLEH!

  • Saban is planning to do two seasons with the same cast

  • ...does he realize that he's the only Power Ranger that instead of being REPLACED, just walked off-stage? He also lasted the longest as the same ranger(Mighty Morphin' Blue, in this case)

    Not even JDF can say that.

  • Does anyone happen to have David's contact? Not trying to be a stalker but would be nice to know what's he up too you know?

  • Hell no the new series won't have the same sucess as the original power rangers.

  • Apparently they shot another film altogether then the studio made them remake almost all of it twice so there could be three movies worth of films on the one power ranger film they should get that footage and see if they can improve on the film or use it to create a tv movie or something don’t let the footage go to waist

  • why wasn't he in Zeo? I remember when he wasn't a Ranger. Creative boo.

  • thumbs up if you think billy is not gay

  • @ElClavo1995 Regardless if is or is not ( I could care less) all he is David Yost.

    The Guy who was the first blue ranger, and kicks a lot of ass.

    He seems like a very nice and honest guy and in the end that is all the matters.

    (I'm not trying to say, that you are saying a negative thing) It should not matter if he

    is gay or not.

  • @Assassin7G3 what the hell are u talking about

  • @ElClavo1995 re-read your old comment then read mine again.

    you'll get your answer there.

  • @ElClavo1995 Billy may not be -- the point people seem to get confused, though, is that his actor is. xD;

  • @ElClavo1995 does it really matter either way?

  • @ElClavo1995 It doesn't matter, but he IS actually gay, he confirmed it..

  • @ElClavo1995 he is. he accepted his homosexuality. but what is wrong with being gay... i mean seriously

  • @ElClavo1995 Billy isn't, but David is, and I give him a thumbs up for his pride.

  • @ElClavo1995 But he is Gay. Deal with it. lol

  • @ElClavo1995 er David Yost is gay dude

  • @ElClavo1995 He was either straight or asexual.

  • I am confused, why don't he have blue on?

  • @reyoo30309 Hahhaha, +rep.

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • that is a logical explanation y billy wasnt a ranger in zeo but i know theres more to it than that

  • I do really hate that the cast is replaced every season now. I remember thats why I stopped watching it. I loved the continuity of the earlier seasons.

  • Comment removed

  • I will start removing catty BS on the comments, or close commenting altogether. Quit it.

  • Oh wow...I didn't really recognize him until he started talking. Wow.

  • he right about the show

  • Lol Original prankster fly in sandwhich. Lease he had protein in it.

  • for all you idiots that are sticking up for the producers side of the story, you too are gay bashing idiots! why would david lie about that and if you did your research properly you would know he was tellin the truth!

  • @HashHead87 you are the idiot !

  • I don't like the characters all being changed at the same time every year, I like how the story was connected and made sense all to space.

  • @Saxman45

    It was difficult to keep it going writing wise since they were dependent on Sentai stock footage, Its more costly to keep the same actors signed on year after year, remember the original Red,Black,yellow were let go because of a dispute over their contracts as Saban did not want to pay Austin St john the same money as what they were giving to Jason David Franks even though he was billed as the lead, So they droped Jones, Trang & Austin & replaced them with cheaper actors.

  • OMDZZ OMDZZ OMDZZZZZZ HES SO OLD NOW

  • oh man he looks so old lol

    jason and billy are the only two who looks realy fad,old and sick ^^

    jason,trini and zach was fired. that was the biggest mistake of PR

  • gay bashers should be shot dead........ im not gay, but i respect the friends i have ...

    and i remember having a MM blue ranger costume when i was really young...

    it hurts to know people wer being asholes

  • The odd thing is his comments about leaving the show have been refuted. A producer who was there responded to this whole interview. He was Michael Page-Pagter, and he has quite a bit to say about this.

  • I coudln's help to feel sad when he left u_u

  • Billy tommy and adam lasted a hell of a lot longer than the rest of the cast.

  • why do i hear all these rumors that he's some beat up bitter old dude that wants nothing to do with PR?? this interview doesn't show that at all...

  • @selphiexfairy Because one of the producers put out a statement that strongly implied that nobody liked working with him and he left due to a combination of wanting a higher pay check/got EXTREMELY sick of Power Rangers after a couple of years. This was the first time he's pretty much talked about it so much.

  • i always LOVED BILLY. Hes gorgeous. ahahahah. I had a huge crish on me in the 90's. wow he seems sooo nice. I wish I could meet him

  • So Detective Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU was Dosia warrior princess of the planet Fados. Comming from a person who is an avid fan of both shows.

  • The irony is though, SHE flashed Johnny Bosch before taping. And at the time he was like barely 17.

  • @ReviewForReel You mean Dulcea from the original movie? 

  • @ReviewForReel Dulcea was played by Gabrielle Fitzpatrick. Benson is played by Mariska Hargitay. They can't possibly be the same person?

  • @CharlieBladeRemus Earlier in the interview Yost says that Hagirtay was originally going to play Dulcea. In retrospect should have said that Hargitay was going to play Dulcea, my bad.

  • @ReviewForReel Ah okay. :)

  • Soon he's gonna gave to trade in his Power Lance, Triceratops DinoZord, and Communicator for a cane, electric scooter, and a Life Alert.

    However, the first cast always fit the roles best. To me it went all downhill around season 3.

  • @SnakeMan227 LOL THE FUNNEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE LOL

  • I love that he says, "it's a thirty - minute toy commercial." because, as much as I loved Power Rangers as a kid, that's what I always thought. It's too bad no one makes a more adult version with less emphasis on zord fights and more of an emphasis on individuals as actors.

  • @majorasmask60 That's cause the movie was a non-canon, entirely different story line than the show.

  • im happy to see that billy doesnt hate tommy. cause that's what i thought

  • We love you Billy!!!!!

  • mmpr to power ranger in space did stay longer. At frist I did'nt even watch lost galxy because it was a whole diffrent caste. I had to get use to new people every year.

  • at 7:06. what does he mean by now? are they doing something new now?

  • @rfridaythe13th The original mmpr is going to be re-run on Nickelodeon kind of re-vamped.

  • To put a finer point on what Dave was saying at the end, as I recall Lost Galaxy was the final show that still played on the progression from the very beginning It was Mighty Morphin, Zeo, turbo, Lost Galaxy. At the end of Lost galaxy they finally replaced everyone even though Tommy was the last of the Semi Original (he wasnt technically original he came on around the second season) the rest had been on the show for a few years. After Lost Galaxy is when the shows would last only one season.

  • @Blade5276 In Space was between Turbo and Lost Galaxy.

  • God David gives such a better interview then Jason David Frank aka Tommy, Jason is like a 40 year old kid with nothing better to talk about then the pranks he pulled on the show. But Tommy was the epitome of Bad Ass so All is forgiven. But David knows how to tell us what us Power Ranger nut jobs want to here some 14 years after the end of the show as we push thirty craving for the days when we were in childhood heaven.

  • @Blade5276 IMO Jason was way, far more bad ass than Tommy.

  • @77Krugg77 Yeah says you! If Jason was so bad ass why was he demoted as leader when Tommy became the white ranger? The only time I ever felt Jason was bad ass was in the Turbo movie when he was evil. When he had Tommy by the throat and said "Now Im the one with the power" that was pretty bad ass but other then that it was Tommy. Plus it was cool to find out that Jason did have some jelousy when Zordon demoted him.

  • @Blade5276 Lmao do you not understand IMO? My OPPINION. And Jason got demoted because the writers knew he wasn't going to be on the show any longer due to him becoming a DOCTOR. So a few episodes before that happened, they made Tommy leader to make the flow seem more natural. In Goldar's arena, Jason gave Tommy a HUGE run for his money without his powers, while Tommy WAS morphed. If Tommy were bad ass, he'd have let Jason morph. And Jason ended up beating Tommy 1 on 1 more then Tommy beat him.

  • @77Krugg77 Wow really ok lets not geek this up to much. and I know it was your freakin opinion thats why I said "Yeah says you" duh.

  • @Blade5276 Lol when it comes to Power Rangers there is no geeking it up too much. And yeah you said that but it's the way you said it, in a condescending attitude, and backed your oppinion up, so I backed mine up as well.

  • @77Krugg77 I didnt mean "Yeah says you!" to be condescending at least no more condescending then your first comment stating that Jason was the badder badass then Tommy. And I have just got to say I am very sick of people on you tube starting conversations then stating later that they are innocent. you had the condescending attitude first not me and you knocked on my door.

  • @Blade5276 Rofl what?! I said that in a respectful and conversational way. "IMO Jason was way, far more bad ass'. Your "Yeah says you!" has the presence of condenscending.

  • @77Krugg77 you know what you're right, when I read your first comment I thought you put LMAO it wasnt till you replied that I looked back and saw it was IMO but I forgot about that. That being said I still didnt mean to be condescending. I meant it to be more banter then condescending.

  • @Blade5276 No worries. I'll accept baanter, and I do respect your oppinion.

  • much respect man, you were my childhood idols

  • The original Rangers were the best ever!!!

  • @Frisbe i agree.. the newer rangers are dumb as fuck accept Rocky.

  • @germicidalcheese They brought Rocky in in place of Jason. That alone makes him the worst of all.

  • It's interesting that he mentions how in Japan the actors were replaced every year and although it worked in Japan, I always felt that it wasn't necessary in the North American version because as David said their cast had good chemistry and alot of fans were attached to the original cast. After PRIS, I always felt that replacing the cast every year was more distracting than creative.

  • @BlueIndividual I think 2 years is the right amount. The Kalish era particularly suffered from not getting to know characters.

  • @tokuanimecitvguy Maybe. I never watched the Japanese version, so I have no idea how the constant replacements worked there. But when it came to ratings, I remember zeo suffered until they brought Austin back, so I believe that many fans prefered the original cast and keeping them on as long as possible. It's sad what happened to David forcing him to leave, but at least he was present for 4 seasons, outlasting everybody else except Jason Frank.

  • He's wrong about the rats--the rats were replaced by the Oozemen; the Tengu were always in it.

  • Original Power Rangers Love them

  • The time when Zeo came out is also the time I'm kinda letting go of power rangers as a whole. I just didn't like it when they started trading off the original

    cast members for new ones.

    The original mighty morphin power rangers would always be THE best for me.

    EVER!:D

  • I agree with him, I think it'd be nice if the cast didn't have to completely change each season. I liked how they used to always have a few rangers move to the next season and get new powers. We don't need all the same people every season, no. But a few staying, while others passing the power on would be nice. Makes the seasons fit together better.

  • @bmbvideo I think they realized just how hard it was to fit them together though kinda like bruce timm said on a justice league commentary "it's hard doing a show with iconic characters while trying to introduce new ones" so I think letting them go was the only way they could ensure it wasn't about billy and tommy and jason or kimberly it made sure they could continue.
