Billionaire Haim Saban, who bought back the “Power Rangers” franchise he founded from Walt Disney Co. last year, reboots the show today on Nickelodeon, part of an effort to rekindle the kids series’ 1990s success.
“Power Rangers Samurai” anchors a $200 million effort to attract new fans, recapture old ones and spur advertising, toy sales and earnings for the library of 700-plus episodes in the franchise, which once dominated children’s TV.
