Merch update and Mystic Knights

So, one of my shipments was heavily delayed due to lack of inventory, and I've had 2 orders cancelled for the same reason (thanks for that KMart). I did get 3 SPD morphers, a crap ton of spin fighters, and a magiphone, but most of my action figures now have to be reordered. In order to still have a post to try to maintain some type of a schedule, I want to see if anyone on the World Wide Weberverse remembers the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog? It only lasted for a year, but I found it to be extremely enjoyable during its run.

 For those who don't remember the show, it was marketed as a US made "Irish Power Rangers", that revolved around a surprisingly pleasant blend of the Ulster Cycle of Celtic mythology, sentai formuli, and a moral of the week. We have 4 Knights, later joined by a 5th. I don't remember most of the plot lines, but the pilot was a great deal of fun, with four young adults from different classes of society being forced to band together by extenuating circumstances to save (the pink ranger analog) Deidre's father and his kingdom from being taken over by an wicked Sidhe or witch (I can't remember). The costumes were absolutely stunning (mostly, Deidre's sucks).

No, by today's standards, the costumes probably wouldn't stand up to criticism, BUT, remember this was an experimental kid's show from the mid-late nineties, when live action kid's programming was already on a steady downfall in both attraction and quality since no one seemed able to write a decent storyline. Add on to the fact that the toys were terrible and not marketed very well, and the show was very expensive to produce.

So far as I know, Saban abandoned a second season (and from the premise, I guess it was a good thing) and gave the budget to the Power Rangers franchise which was starting to come back to popularity after the abysmal Turbo run (see Linkara's review of PR: Lost Galaxy for more info). Bad sequel ideas not withstanding, this show was really fun, and brought me back to the idea of Power Rangers after I abandoned the Power Rangers franchise 8 episodes into Turbo. I really wish I had watched In Space, but the name made me think Power Rangers had really jumped the shark. Turns out I was wrong, whodathunk?

If anybody knows of a decent quality stream somewhere online, please let me know, I'd appreciate it. I'd really like to write up a full review of it.
