Yes, it's been 20 years since the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers made its debut on Fox Kids in 1993. With over 800 episodes airing across 150 countries, there's no denying the lasting power of such an iconic and memorable franchise. In honor of the 20th anniversary, IGN spoke with some of the series' original stars, including Walter Jones, aka Zack Taylor/the original Black Ranger, as well as Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy, known for playing the lovable comedy duo Bulk and Skull (respectively). While chatting with the Power Rangers alumni, we spoke about some of their fondest memories of the show.

IGN's Power Rangers: Seasons 1-7 DVD Collection Review

When asked about the longevity of the series and whether or not he still gets recognized, Jones began, "It hasn't gone away, that's the thing about it. Every day, someone will come up to me and go, 'Hey, aren't you the guy?', or I'm walking through the grocery store and I hear [humming the Power Rangers theme] 'Dee dee dee-dee dee deet!' So it's not like it truly went away. It's slowed down, but it's continued to go on. And I think now -- first with Netflix and then the DVD release -- I'm excited that it's going out to a new generation."

While talking about his role as the Black Power Ranger, Jones recalled that he nearly missed his audition when he was first trying out for the part. "I was actually not in town when I was called in by my agent," he said. "I was in Florida doing Star Search. But when I came back they said they still wanted to see me. So I went in, and through a process of whittling it down from 800 people to five casts of five to three casts of five, I ended up in the winners circle with my cast. And I think the show wouldn't have been what it was without our cast. It was the chemistry we had that made the show what it was. Because we really did find, between the five of us -- or the six of us after Jason David Frank joined -- a camaraderie and a true friendship that we brought to the screen."Over the years, Power Rangers has seen many a "teenager with attitude" come and go, but no two characters have been so prominent on the show as Schrier's Bulk and Narvy's Skull. Recalling their long histories on the series, Narvy said it was kind of odd to see the leads switch out as the show evolved. "It was like watching the generals get shot off their horses," he joked. But as Schrier noted, he never thought their own characters would last, let alone the Rangers. "Being part of such a popular phenomenon now, it's way easier to put into context with our lives," he said. "Then, it was this completely anomalous, UFO-outside-the-house kinda stuff, because one minute you're a very well-intentioned classically trained actor who thought, 'Okay, I'll give straight media a try for TV or film.' Next second, we were on the number one kids show -- literally, two weeks, man -- and we couldn't go anywhere. The recognition was insane."But, you gotta face it," Schrier continued, "it wasn't the Bulk and Skull show. In fact, without the Rangers I don't think Bulk and Skull really work as well." Still, "we got to build the characters as us, essentially. Nobody gets to do that. Nobody gets the opportunity to build a character on a number one TV show... We were at the wheel of the characters, and I think we made the most of it."As for the show's 20th anniversary, Schrier said, "It's all a little weird... It's like dating your high school girlfriend again or something." Added Narvy, "It's like you haven't really broken up -- you did, but you're going to keep some stuff there and --" interjected Schrier, "you went off and got married and had another family, but you still love her. You think about her all the time, even when you're with other people... It's healthy, is what we're saying. Healthy!"
