Nice, hadn't heard of this one. I was thinking of Tantalus (surrounded by food and water than he can never reach).
Power rangers is a bit younger generation I guess, though Transformers was running longer/on repeat. So I have seen some of that as well Grrr, Imrahil
Oh, I definitely watched Power Rangers as a kid. That was contemporary for me. So was Transformers. Voltron was a re-run from earlier.
