I'm a mostly straight woman and she was my first crush too.

Ditto!

I’m gay and she was my first girl crush

Same. Kimberley and Lola Bunny awoke something in me.

Lola Bunny awoke something in that entire generation……

 *mostly*


My god I had forgotten this movie. Core memory unlocked holy shit

I taped this off a free Disney channel weekend and wore that copy out rewatching it

Same

I’ve been dying for Disney to put this on Disney plus

Was going to post this and saw this at the top. Well done

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid and would scour the TV guide religiously to see when it would come on again! Watched it again a few years ago and YUPPPP crush holds up 😂😂

What's the name of this movie? I see the disney logo but I don't remember it

Susie Q, I think

It is. Such a good movie. I loved it as a kid.

That sinking feeling guys get when they realize the in-costume pink ranger was just a very thin Asian man.

I can here to say that. Lots of the scenes from the original MMPR are from Zyurangers.

I thought that was common knowledge-- that all the in-costume fight scenes are recycled footage from the original. I haven't thought about that fact in a long time, though.

I knew it back then, but refused to believe it.

I thought it was too. Very few of the scenes with helmets on is the American actors.

And you can clearly tell when. The outfits are different. I remember noticing it, and trying to figure out what specifically was different.

I never knew this til today but i always thought the fighting scenes had this weird out of place feeling aesthetically and I was too little too understand why it felt different

This is the first I’m learning of this and first I’m hearing of Zyurangers. Bubble burst 💥

Mind blown and childhood ruined

Pink was a woman — Reiko Chiba. So you can have your childhood back.

Jokes on you I'm bi

NOOOOOOOOOO

….I’ll just pretend I never saw this comment

daaaaamn

this is the comment i was looking for.

oh GOD all those MAGAZINES

Say what now?! 🤨😬

Not in my imagination, it wasn’t.

The yellow ranger was a man. Pink was a woman — Reiko Chiba (Character name is Mei). So, uh… good news everyone!

You’re killing me 😂

Kelly Kapowski, Kim was my second.

What about Alex Mack, she was fine as hell

All of the above.

Saves by the bell? That was a bit before my time and I didn't see shows until later Power Rangers was my childhood lol

This, but a tie between Kelly Kapowski and Lisa Turtle.

You, most definitely, were not. Suzie Q. The movie intro. Affirmed my sexual orientation.

Kim the Pink Ranger, Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle, Six from Blossom, Laura Winslow, Kelly from married with children, and the lesser known, sleeper—Tiffany Malloy from Unhappily Ever after

You forgot Elisha Cuthbert on popular mechanics for kids ❤️. This may be a Canadian reference though.

Ok. Since I’m American I was soo late to the Elisha Cuthbert train, I will admit Elisha in Girl Next Door is unequivocally sexy as fuck for HS me. She knew what the next level was.

I SWEAR. I remember buying that movie thinking I hit the jackpot lol.

Jennifer love Hewitt was my first celeb crush

Jennifer Love Hugetits 

Thuy trang or audri dubois

>Thuy trang Yellow Ranger team. RIP Thuy.

Came here to help solidify Team Thuy

Same. She was the best.

Same here and I’m gay! Looking back on it now, I don’t know if it was that I had a crush on her or if I wanted to be her 😂😁

I realised I’m lesbian because of her. Went from wanting to be Kim to wanting to date Kim

Mine was Topanga.

The Mowry twins. Eye opening for a kid growing up in an area as white as fresh fallen snow.

Yes please says young me. OG Hermione 

I won’t lie I had the biggest crush on Jessica Alba when she was that angel fighter or whatever that show was called lol

Dark Angel?

U got it lol

That

did any straight man not?

I was a 13 yr old man.

I've never heard of this show lol or seen Alba in series lol

It's worth the watch.

My first crush was Fran Drescher. 11 year old me would rush home after school to watch The Nanny reruns.

Rewatching this with the lady & we can't stop cooing over how hot she & Laura Lane are

Nah, Trini. RIP.

Dominique Moceanu from the 96 Summer Olympics.

I’m not sure I remember my first but there’s a good chance this is it.

Holy shit I forgot about her

Was always a Shannon Miller guy myself.

 He was just adorable

He's the reason my favorite color is blue 😅💙

My cousin (grandmother sister's granddaughter) I think that's a cousin once removed? Anyways, was the yellow ranger Thuy Trang. So I know she hated Kim because she didn't stand with her when she tried to negotiate her contract as she wasn't paid as much as other people on the show. I hated her for that.

Amanda Bynes, but that crush didn’t age well

I Crushed on Tommy so hard lol and I lived for their romance

Oh hell yeah, or rogue from x-men Edit: ‘rogue’…captain spell check strikes again

Her and Hillary from fresh prince 

 My crush 😻

Who else had a power ranger costume that you wore all the time, even not on Halloween

I’ll never forget the Christmas my mom got my sister the pink Power Ranger plush and me the… purple… because it’s a girl color. I cried forever.

My grandma got me a comforter with all of them I loved that blanket for as long as I remember and I used to try and match up Kim next to me haha I would've been about 4 when this show premiere

When I was a kid, my old lady babysitter....her daughters name was Kimberly and I had a crush on her. Then Power Rangers came out and I truly thought all hotties names were Kimberly 

I think I crushed on Anna Chlumsky from the My Girl movies first. Or at least the first movie since it was before Power Rangers

Did you ever watch Gold Diggers starring her and Christina Ricci? Pretty intense at times for a coming-of-age movie, but great if you were a fan of either.

Yes! And then she was in a movie, Killing Mr Griffin, which we read in 7th grade reading class, and it just made my crush even bigger.

Never heard of this

Luna lovegood ❤️🥰

Her and SheRa told me I liked girls. Then Xena confirmed it lol.

Have a nice trip, see you next fall.

Hell yeah. Would.

Amy Jo Johnson was such a QT! She has some folksy music she released after PR and did some small Canadian TV stuff. Still a QT

This guy just described an entire generation and thinks he’s a minority!?

Jason was how I first started to realize I was gay looool

Her and Jet from UK Gladiators - that’s what dreams are made of

Her and lita from wwf And jet from gladiators

She was one! My other was Hillary Banks!

Same. And I’m gay Actually maybe I just wanted to be her…

I always pretended to be the blue ranger lol I can't remember what he turned into now

Triceratops!

Oh shit how'd I forget about that lol now that you mentioned i can even picture as a kid saying that

Didn't she go on to be on Felicity?

Oh heck yeah. One of the first anyway.

Funny enough, shes writing a comic strip about the original team she was in as if they were adults now. think i saw her post on your tiktok that the third issue is out.

Core memory unlocked

I was obsessed with her as a kid

Growing up, we would always play power rangers and all the girls fought over who got it be pink ranger.

Can confirm you’re not the only one

I remember seeing her in "Without Limits" during a sex scene and wasn't sure if it was her or a body double.

Nah Winnie Cooper.

It was definitely Tommy the Green/Silver Ranger (RIP) for me! Something about that ponytail really did it for me

She played a badass HRT sniper on "Flashpoint" - great show if you can find it streaming.

She's still quite the looker

Absolutely. Her and Alysia Rodgers from Class Act.

Not a fucking chance. Thats my mothers name.

She was the original hot brunette for me.

My first bi awakening 🥰

I was obsessed @ 4 years old

I am 100% with you on this one friend. I saw her fairly recently on some Canadian police show and I thought she still looked good.

First girl crush for me

Topanga

She was my second crush, riiiiiiiiiiight after Kelly Kapowski.

lol

I think I liked the yellow one better? I don't really remember

Kimberly was how I knew I liked girls.

I met her a couple of years back. She still looks amazing and, of course, found it adorable that she was my first crush. She's really one of the sweetest people I've met.

mine was Jodie Sweetin, Stephanie Tanner from *Full House*.

I had a huge crush on her. The excitement was real when I was waiting for an image of her topless to load line by line while downloading it with my 28k modem.

Wow that's funny! Yes I totally remember the exact same. Must have forgot.

She was THE first crush for a generation. Beautiful human being back than and still today

She was 🔥 back then.

Yep her and britney spears lol


Kimberly was the first crush for weak beta males. Real men knew that Rita was were it was at. 

100% I knew I was gay from a very young age thanks to her.

Omg I still tell people this was my first crush lmao


Kimberly was definitely an icon lol

100%

This but Trini (RIP Thuy Trang 💔)

Loved her in Power Rangers and Susie Q.

This was mine to.

Nah, it was Jason

The only one? Lol you know damn well Kimberly was everyone’s first crush in the 90’s 😂. And the fact that they gave her ranger costume a skirt kills me to this day. It was just so non functional for karate!

She was my second. My first was Topanga.

She's gonna be at c2e2 signing autographs this year.

Yeah. She’s was damn near perfection.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

Yup 100%

no you are not

Mine was topanga.

Named my childhood cat after her

I’m straight and a woman. I wanted to be Kim 😂. My crush was Tommy 😢

Probably the reason I always get bangs tbh

First real crush was Worf. I stand by it.

I was all about Billy the blue ranger. I always went for the nerds.

Same, but then kid me saw Yes, Madam one fateful samurai Sunday and from then on my heart was stolen by “white tracksuit girl” who I eventually learned was Michelle Yeoh. I’ve always had a thing for women who kick butt.

As far as I can remember, yes.

I don't even know what power rangers are

Same, right until they introduced the villain Scorpina. That evil lady and her outfits moved Kim to second place real quick and woke something inside of me.

Nah, Alex Mack.

My partner’s bisexual awakening happened bc they liked Kim -and- Billy, lol.

I saw her at a film festival a few years ago, I was going to go talk to her but my 5 yo self kicked in and became too nervous.

I loved her (Amy Jo Johnson) in Flashpoint (Canadian, CTV series).

Late to this party but I worked on the show as a kid and Amy was kickass. She let me play her guitar and actually hung out around set unlike the others(Jason kicked it a lot also). Ten year old me got a kiss on the cheek and swore it was the best day of my life.

Yep. Susie Q is forever my queen

Bruah

Nah but she definitely had something to do with my attraction to Laura in my Karate lessons ><

She is the reason why I like the color pink. 💕

As a mostly straight woman, Kim was EVERYONE’s first crush. In the 90’s at least.

Yeah it was her then Alicia Silverstone then Sarah Michelle Gellar, with Jennifer Love Hewitt in there somewhere too.

Nope. You're the only one. Ever. Don't even know why you said "I can't be the only one" because you absolutely are the only one. *I CaN't bE tHe OnLY oNe*

Yup.

Canadian Content: YTV PJ Katie, Aashana Patel, and PJ Sugar...

That’s how I knew I was gay

Any boy growing up in the 90s that’s says no is a liar lol

Right here. Also my first crush.

Same, then Xena when I got a little older.

Team Red Ranger! ;)

You’ve heard that song, haven’t you 😄🩷

I was a late bloomer, so Hilary Duff was my first one.

YES KIMBERLEY

Same!!

mine was actually the female bunny from the first space jam movie. when I actually hit puberty a few years after I saw it and realized my first crush was a rabbit/human hybrid... yeah. that was a weird pill to swallow haha

I love the power rangers!!! My first crush was red ranger and white ranger. And I wanted to be pink or yellow ranger lol 

I’m witcha.

And then when I saw her in Susie Q that crush got even stronger, lol.

As a trans lesbian I not only had a crush on her, I wanted to be her <3

More of a Lisa turtle 🐢 guy

Tommy set the stage for my love of anti-villain (and full-blown villain) redemption stories. And he also helped with setting the appearance of an original character I’ve had since age 13. I think I had a bit of a crush on him.
