    (Updated: 10/24/2021) Old, dusty and maybe even rusty .... I keep plugging! Nothing gets you into a hurry-up-and-catch-up-on-more-than-a-year update than having your site mentioned and linked by Ranger Command Power Hour!

   But, as is my thing, I'm going to wrap up this 2020 Beast Morphers page first and then roll everything over and work on 2021 Dino Fury. If nothing else, the ratings section will be current soon! As they said in Wild Force, "Never Give Up!"

   One thing that IS current is the chart below, which shows the entirety of the 2nd season if Beast Morphers and how bad things got at the end.

   Also, the top/bottom 5 list will be a one-time edit with how things were at the conclusion of the 2020 season.

   And here are the top/bottom charts. The first set of top/bottom-10's is all from the time when PR was shown at noon or 1 p.m., followed by a set of top/bottom-5's for the 8 a.m. era.

   I've added the premieres-only audience averages here so I don't have to keep refiguring them. These show how toxic the massive summer hiatus has been each year to viewership. Look at how the average drops each time the new episodes resume in the fall. (Percentage of each year's erosion in red)
