FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NIGHT RANGER INDUSTRIES/THE N.R.I.O. NETWORK TO CEASE OPERATIONS, PRODUCTION OF CURRENT ADAPTATION, "POWER RANGERS; SAFARI" CANCELED.

FRESNO, CA.-May 14, 2016...It is with deep regret that "NightRanger Industries" (with it's subsidiary, "The NightRanger Industries Online (N.R.I.O.) Network") is ceasing operations, and thus, the current current Super Sentai-To-Power Rangers adaptation, "Power Rangers: Safari" is officially canceled, effective immediately.

As the sourl "jack-of-all-trades" employee of all the productions (owner\writer\etc.), I feel that with recent "trials" within my family, I cannot devote the necessary time to write full seasons.

In 2012, I did not adapt Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters due to burnout. In 2013, the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger adaptation was slowed to a crawl due to a move, and was finally finished in 2014...which delayed Ressha Sentai ToQger into oblivion. The adaptation of Shiuriken Sentai Ninninger in 2015 came to a abrupt end after only thirty-five (35) of a planned seventy-two (72) episode season due to a medical emergency of an immediate family member. And now, 2016, the adaptation of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger is cancelled after only four (4) episodes out of a planned eighty-four (84) episodes due to the fallout of that situation, which still needs my attention.

This endeavour started in 2006 with the "Power Rangers III: Red Dawn" movie, and spawned four hundred sixty-three (463) episode scripts over the better part of a decade. The series' are listed below.

2005: Power Rangers III: Red Dawn (Movie)
2006: Power Rangers: Exo Quest, ?? episodes (retconned to "0")
2007: Power Rangers: Jungle Fury {my version}, 65 episodes
2008: Power Rangers: Nitro Defencers, 65 episodes
2009: Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors, 72 episodes
2010: Power Rangers: Star Guardians, 75 episodes
2011: Power Rangers: The Next Generation, 82 episodes
2012: Power Rangers: Ultratech, 4 episodes (retconned to "0")
2013: Power Rangers: Paleo Strike, 65 episodes
2014: Power Rangers: Imagination Express, 0 episodes
2015: Power Rangers: Shinobi Force, 35 episodes
2016: Power Rangers: Safari, 4 episodes

The blog (www.thenrionetwork.blogspot.com) will remain "up" so that the fans can read\re-read previous episodes (until Blogger decides to remove it); and I will still maintain the Facebook fanpage.

There is still opportunity that a few episodes will be produced from time-to-time, but whole seasons are done...at least for now. I would still like to due a feature movie script someday ("Power Rangers IV: Legacy").

There are plenty of fanfics out there by other writers that are very well-written. "Underground Blue" on www.rangerboard.com is one of those writers. He produced a Go-Busters adaptation that was very good, in my opinion.

I would like to take this time to thank the fans that have read my scripts over the last decade. I want to continue writing, but other situations are taking priority right now. This is not a good-bye from me to the fandom, and not a permanent good-bye from writing. I will always be a fan on the Super Sentai Series and Power Rangers franchises, and will still follow the seasons.

Good-bye...for now.

Sincerely,
Christopher M. Clark "NightRanger"
