But the Power Rangers and their imitators will continue to be the bane of parents' and educators' existence-until something new comes along...
...Seagram-owned entertainment giant MCA inked a 10-year deal with DreamWorks SKG, the studio created by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.
